Scope:

Over the last years, the exploration and identification of variational and geometric structures for evolutionary problems has emerged with a prominent role in their mathematical analysis. The workshop will focus on the recent developments in this topic, with applications to dissipative models and systems governed by reaction-diffusion mechanisms.

The conference will also mark the 65th birthday of our colleague and friend Alexander Mielke, whose work has set a cornerstone in this field.
