Dear Colleague, 

this is to announce the
First CALL for ABSTRACTS : PARIS, 2-5 JUNE 2020 MORPHOGENESIS, PATTERN FORMATION, BIOLOGICAL SELF-ORGANIZATION, INSTABILITIES, TURBULENCE, WALKING DROPLETS and NEW AVENUES IN NON-LINEAR PHYSICS.

International meeting in the honor of YVES COUDER, to be held in Paris, organized jointly by Ecole Normale Supérieure-PSL* and Université-de Paris.

Registration is open at  :  http://www.msc.univ-paris-diderot.fr/yvescouder2020

Registration is free of charge. Participants are responsible for booking and paying for their own travel and lodging.

YVES COUDER (1941-2019) had a tremendous scientific impact in such fields as turbulence, dendritic growth, the Saffman-Taylor instability, plant morphogenesis and walking droplets, as well as in many disparate areas of non-linear physics, ranging from biological self-organization to urban development. This meeting aims at bringing together scientists working in these fields and to highlight and discuss new avenues of science in the field of non-linear condensed matter physics.

Organizing committee: M. Ben Amar (ENS-PSL*, Physics Dept), F. Petrelis (ENS-PSL*, Physics Dept), M. Labousse (ESPCI-PSL*, Gulliver), A. Eddi (ESPCI-PSL*, PMMH), E. Fort (ESPCI-PSL*, Inst.

Bonjour à tous, (English  below)

l’ESPCI et l’Université de Hokkaido organisent conjointement une International School of Soft Matter du 13 au 14 aout 2020.

https://softmat2020.espci.fr/-Home-

Le focus principal est sur les matériaux souples (soft materials) et fluides complexes avec la présence d’une exceptionnelle sélection d’enseignants(https://softmat2020.espci.fr/Lecturers) . Pour ceux qui s’en rappellent cette école est similaire à celle organisée en 2017 à Sapporo et dont la caractère très pédagogique (et pas simplement une série de séminaires) avait été très apprécié par une délégation de doctorants de l’ESPCI. L’esprit de l’ecole est de donner une formation interdisciplinaire (chimie, physique, mécanique) et de faire des liens entre les approches.

L’inscription est gratuite pour les permanents et non permanents employés pas le CNRS

Inscriptions ouvertes en principe jusqu’au 25 février (mais ca pourra être prolongé un peu): https://softmat2020.espci.fr/Application-Registration

*****************************************

Hello everyone

ESPCI and the University of Hokkaido are jointly organizing an International School of Soft Matter from August 13 to 14, 2020.

https://softmat2020.espci.fr/-Home–

The main focus is on soft materials and complex fluids with a very nice lineup of lecturers (https://softmat2020.espci.fr/Lecturers). For those who remember it, this school is similar to the one organized in 2017 in Sapporo and whose very pedagogical character (and not just a series of seminars) was very much appreciated by a delegation of doctoral students from the ESPCI. The spirit of the summer school is to give an interdisciplinary training (chemistry, physics, mechanics) and to make links between approaches.

Registrations are open in principle until February 25th (but this may be extended slightly): https://softmat2020.espci.fr/Application-Registration

Registration is free for permanent and non-permanent employees of the CNRS.

Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a CISM Summer School on “Life in flows”, July 6-10 2020, in Udine (Italy). The application deadline is May 6. Practical information can be found on CISM website: 
https://www.cism.it/en/activities/courses/C2009/
This school will address how organisms sense surrounding flows and how they respond to this sensing information. It will cover all scales, from bacteria to starling flocks. There will be 6 series of blackboard lectures covering both basics and recent advancements in the field. The lecturers are:- Howard Berg (Harvard): Life at low Reynolds number- Christophe Eloy (IRPHE): Search algorithms to track the source of an odor in a flow- Charlotte Hemelrijk (Univ Groningen): Collective motion in groups of fish and birds – Thomas Kiørboe (DTU): Plankton encounter rates- James Liao (Univ Florida): Principles of fish locomotion- Jane Wang (Cornell): Aerodynamics of insect flapping flight
We would be grateful if you could advertise this announcement around you, in particular to students, post-docs, and young researchers.  
Best regards,
The Organizers:

Christophe Eloy, IRPHE, Marseille, France

Eric Lauga, DAMTP, Cambridge, UK

The growing plant is a fascinating system involving multiple fields. Biologically, it is a multi-cellular system controlled by complex bio-chemical networks. Physically, it is an example of an « active solid » – an extended solid system, whose element (cells) are active, performing mechanical work to drive the evolving geometry. Computationally, it acts as a distributed system, processing a multitude of local inputs into a coordinated developmental response. The goal of this meeting is to provide a rare opportunity to bring together researchers from these different but complementary disciplines, and study the plant as a living, information-processing organism, which uses physical laws and biological mechanisms to alter its own shape, and negotiate its environment.
