About:

This interdisciplinary meeting brought together mathematicians and materials scientists working on defects and pattern formation in the microstructure of materials, with a particular emphasis on polycrystalline alloys, dislocations and grain boundaries. Both experimental and theoretical approaches would be covered, together with related mathematical methods from applied analysis and the calculus of variations.  

We acknowledged financial support from the EPSRC grant EP/V00204X/1 on "Mathematical Theory of polycrystalline materials.
