• Radu Ignat (Université Toulouse 3)
• Richard James (University of Minnesota)
• Lucia Scardia (Heriot-Watt University)
• Arghir Zarnescu (BCAM)

The school will feature four courses aiming to provide an entry point into recent advances in mathematical techniques relevant to the study of complex materials models. It should be of interest both to graduate students aiming to get an education in the mathematics of complex materials as well as for more advanced researchers aiming to enter a new field of study.
