Since 2010 Nadační fond na podporu vědy NEURON (NEURON Endowment Fund to Support Science) provides grants for scientists working in the Czech Republic. In 2012 NEURON junior research grant was awarded to Miroslav Bulíček for research concerning regularity of solutions to partial differential equations. The meeting Regularity theory for elliptic and parabolic systems and problems in continuum mechanics is organized as a part of this junior research project. The aim of the meeting is to bring together researchers working in the field of regularity of partial differential equations with a particular emphasis on partial differential equations stemming from continuum mechanics.

The meeting will take place in Telč form 1st May 2014 till 3rd May 2014, confirmed speakers are:

• Emilio Acerbi (Università degli Studi di Parma)
• Andrea Cianchi (Università degli Studi di Firenze)
• Lars Diening (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)
• Frank Duzaar (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)
• Jens Frehse (Universität Bonn)
• Nicola Fusco (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II)
• Stanislav Hencl (Univerzita Karlova v Praze)
• Tuomo Kuusi (Aalto-yliopisto)
• Giuseppe Mingione (Università degli Studi di Parma)

If you are interested, you can find more information at webpages of the workshop.

IRW (Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen) Heidelberg is organizing a one week course on DUNE (The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment). DUNE is a software framework for the numerical solution of partial differential equations with grid-based methods. If you are interested, please register at http://conan.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/dune-workshop/.

Teams lead by Jaroslav Hron and Martin Řehoř succeeded in the grant competion on computer time in the national supercomputing facility IT4Innovations. Team lead by Jaroslav Hron got 100 000 core hours for project “Blood flow simulation in a patient specific geometry”, Martin Řehoř and his team got 50 000 core hours for project “Flows driven by diffuse interface models”. Congratulations and we are looking forward to nice results!

On Wednesday, 4th December, Martin Kružík will give his habilitation lecture “Relaxation in the calculus of variation”. You are all invited. See the invitation for details.

On Thursday 28th November Faculty of Mathematics and Physics organizes Open day. During the Open day you can get a lot of information on studying at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, you can also meet face to face representatives of various study programs (including mathematical modeling), and, last but not least you can attend some popular science lectures. In particular, Ondřej Souček is going to give lecture “Nejdéle trvající vědecký experiment aneb ač se vleče, přece teče…”. The lecture will take place in lecture hall F2 and starts at 3:40 PM.

Detailed schedule is available at the faculty web pages.
