General description

The School aims at introducing researchers, especially graduate students and postdocs, to the state of the art in the analysis of transport and mixing properties in fluid mechanics, and related problems. The format of the school consists in four short courses by leading experts in the field. There will also be an opportunity for participants to present a poster. Interested participants should post their posters on the poster-panels. The available board area for poster presentations is 100 cm (width) x 200 cm (height). The authors must provide their own printout of the title, authors and poster itself.
