Homogenization is a term originating in materials engineering, describing the phenomenon whereby, despite possessing a finely detailed and complex microstructure, a material exhibits macroscopically homogeneous behaviour in the physical phenomena occurring within it. Over the past few decades, the mathematical theory of homogenization has seen remarkable development in various directions across both partial differential equations and probability theory. Following a successful previous edition in Tokyo and related event in Beijing, this RIMS workshop aims to foster in-depth discussions on current research topics and novel approaches in this field, including quantitative homogenization and non-local partial differential equations, so as to further deepen this research and identify future research directions. The workshop will have an interdisciplinary aspect, bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines, and will also provide opportunities for young researchers.

Registration information will appear here.

All talks will take place in room 111 of RIMS. Access information for RIMS appears here.

There are not many hotels especially close to Kyoto University, but there are plenty in the more central areas of the city, from which it is easy to commute by bus. (See here for a city bus map.) In particular, if you book a hotel within (or close to) the region contained within the streets Marutamachi - Kawaramachi - Shijo - Karasuma (in the north, east, south, west, respectively), then there will be no problem in accessing the University. Concerning booking, probably the easiest is to use a general hotel booking website (such as booking.com or expedia, etc), but if you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the organisers.

Those participating in a research activity at RIMS are asked to read its Code of Conduct carefully and understand how this applies to them. (Japanese version.)

Please see this page for information about RIMS' response to the novel coronavirus. (Japanese version.)

It is possible to arrange a temporary nursery place on campus during the research meeting for the use of researchers with children. For details, please contact one of the organisers or the Cooperative Research Service Section at RIMS. [Note that, in order to make arrangements in time, you will need to request a space at least one month prior to the event.]
