Short courses series: Mathematics of Porous Media

Short Course Series: Mathematics of Porous Media

During the winter 2020-21 the Porous Media Group at the University of Bergen will organize a series of short courses on topics related to the mathematics of porous media. The lecturers are world leading researchers within their fields.

Each topic will be covered in three two-hour lectures. The lectures will be given via Zoom, and will be held on Fridays 2-4PM (CET).

How to participate

Send an email to Eirik.Keilegavlen@uib.no, with name, institution and email address. The email should be linked to the Zoom account you will use to access the meeting. Login information for the individual lectures will be sent out no later than lunchtime at the Friday of the lecture.

UPDATE: A confirmation email to all registrants was sent out on October 25. If you registered before then and did not recieve the confirmation, please get in touch. Later registrations will be confirmed in due course.
