About:

This workshop will bring together leading experts from across the field of Calculus of Variations to exchange the latest research breakthroughs, to discuss progress on old problems, and to take stock of the current state of the field with a view to its future development. A special aspect of the workshop will be the celebration of Jan Kristensen's academic life, whose seminal contributions over the last decades have shaped many aspects of the field, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Information on participation to follow.

There is limited support available for this workshop. Priority will be given to Early Career Researchers and will take the form of accommodation support. There will be no travel support available.
