The Collaborative Workshop Initiative (CWI)

Objectives

  • The CWI workshops alternate between Oxford and Princeton.
  • The principal aim of these three-day workshops are to exploit and develop synergistic links among the Complex Fluids Group at Princeton, Mathematics at the University of Oxford, and a span of other global universities and scientific disciplines. The objective is to establish collaborative projects in the broad spectrum of overlapping research interests in theoretical applied mathematics and experimentation.
