The First European Finite Element Fair
8-9 May 2003
Organisers:
Mark Ainsworth (University of Strathclyde), Carsten Carstensen (Vienna University of Technology),
Charles M. Elliott (University of Sussex), Christoph Schwab (ETH Zürich), and Endre Süli (University of Oxford)
Theme of the Meeting:
The European Finite Element Fair (EFEF) will become
an annual series of completely informal small
workshops throughout Europe with equal initial conditions for each speaker. EFEF
provides a platform for high-level discussions on current research on finite element approximation,
in the broadest sense, of partial differential equations. A few, but strict, rules will apply to
EFEF 2003 in
order to
distinguish it from existing workshops and minisymposia in the field.
(1) Provided that he or she is present
throughout the meeting (ie from the morning of Thursday 8th May until the afternoon of
Friday 9th May), each participant is invited to talk.
(2)
To register for a presentation, please complete the online application form available here .
Slots
will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. On this occasion,
the number of participants will be limited to about 50. The talks will
start around 11am on Thursday and
continue through Friday noon until about 5pm.
(3)
Based on the number of speakers the time available will be divided into slots
for the talks. The order of the speakers will be determined through random choice, by
drawing names out of a hat. Speakers cannot request a specific time to talk.
(4)
Each speaker should introduce himself or herself, the title and topic, and is
expected to leave sufficient time, within the allocated time-slot, for discussion.
Speakers have to prepare a talk that can be trimmed to various lengths
(15 minutes is typical).
Further information:
Sandwich-lunches will be arranged by the Isaac Newton
Institute for a charge. If you wish to make use of this possibility,
please inform
Tracey Andrew at the Institute by
30 April 2003;
telephone: (01223) 335984; fax: (01223) 330508.
There are limited funds available to assist UK research students to attend: please apply by 30 April 2003 to Tracey Andrew.
