Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a small informal workshop at the ENS in Paris, at the end of October, on the analogy between the yielding transition of amorphous materials under load and the depinning transition of elastic objects driven in a quenched disordered landscape. It will take place from Monday October 22 till Wednesday October 24, 2018. Please check the following website for more details:

The workshop will consist in six review talks (1h each), with a lot of time devoted to informal discussions. We thus expect fruitful exchanges on the topics related to the connection between the depinning and the yielding phenomena.

Hoping to see you on this occasion in Paris,
Best regards,

Elisabeth Agoritsas and Francesco Zamponi

PS. This workshop is a follow up to the workshop on yielding that we organized in 2017. Information on the previous workshop, and the slides of the speakers, can be found here    https://sites.google.com/site/yieldingworkshop/
