See the calendar of the trimester.

NB: every day at 3:30pm will take place the coffee break, at the second floor of the IHP. Every participant is invited to join this coffee break. In some of these social events will take place an "informal seminar" where one of the invited professors will talk several minutes, at the blackboard, about several mathematical points. The aim is to create interactions, in particular between invited professors and PhD students, postdocs.

Organizers: Olivier Glass (Univ. Paris Dauphine), Jérôme Le Rousseau (Univ. Orléans), Lionel Rosier (Univ. Nancy 1), Emmanuel Trélat (Univ. Orléans).

Scientific committee: F. Alabau, F. Ancona, C. Bardos, G. Bastin, A. Benabdallah, U. Boscain, M. Burgos, N. Burq, P. Cannarsa, J.-M. Coron, B. Dehman, O. Imanuvilov, M. Krstic, G. Lebeau, G. Leugering, S. Micu, B. Piccoli, J.-P. Puel, J.-P. Raymond, P. Rouchon, M. Tucsnak, B.Y. Zhang, X. Zhang, E. Zuazua.
