We are delighted to announce this year's YRC Schöntal Discussion Workshop on Dynamical Systems, which will take place from the 25th to the 28th of August at the quaint and charming Schöntal Abbey.
The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for early-career scientists to gather and discuss topics that go beyond the standard mathematics and physics curriculum, and to approach different subjects from their respective fields of research. The goal is to encourage interdisciplinary scientific exchange between the various areas of the STRUCTURES Cluster.
This year, the overarching topic of Dynamical Systems will be the protagonist. As a key concept in many physical, mathematical, computational and biological applications, we expect it to foster collaboration across different fields and spark conversations that may lead to innovative and creative ideas and applications. The workshop will guide participants through the fundamentals of dynamical systems, including the distinction between continuous and discrete time systems, core concepts such as stability, chaos, and bifurcation theories, and modern applications ranging from training algorithms to recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
This year's invited experts are Dr. Zahra Monfared and Prof. Dr. Tim Laux.
To register, simply fill out the online registration form below. Participation is free of charge for STRUCTURES YRC members.

About the Young Researchers Convent (YRC):
This workshop is funded by STRUCTURES Young Researchers Convent (YRC), a subgroup of the STRUCTURES Cluster of Excellence dedicated to supporting early-career scientists. The YRC strives to help its members realize their own projects, and if you think your work fits within the concept of STRUCTURES, you are welcome to apply for YRC membership. If your supervisor is a STRUCTURES member, you are directly eligible.
