We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the Mathematics for Planet Earth workshop, held on 11–12 November at the Politecnico di Milano.
With around 80 participants and 15 research posters, the event highlighted the transformative role of mathematics in understanding and addressing the challenges confronting our planet.
The workshop was part of the “Department of Excellence” initiative of the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano, Research Line 2 “Mathematics for Sustainability” coordinated by Luca Formaggia, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) for 2023-27.
A huge thank you to the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano for the generous support and to our dedicated Scientific Committee — Daniele Marazzina, Edie Miglio, Simona Perotto, Anna Scotti, Simone Vantini, Marco Verani — and Organizing Committee — Michele Botti, Alessio Fumagalli, Andrea Gilardi, Ilario Mazzieri, Alessandra Menafoglio — for making this event a success!
We are also grateful to all our distinguished speakers for their inspiring talks:
– Dennis Allard (INRAE, Avignon) – Inga Berre (Univeristy of Bergen) – Didier Clouteau (University of Paris-Saclay, CentraleSupélec) – Bernd Flemisch (University of Stuttgart) – Taras Gerya (ETH Zurich) – Cecilia Stanghellini (Wageningen University) and for enriching the program with their expertise. A special thanks to Alfio Quarteroni for moderating and coordinating the discussion during the round table, making it highly engaging and stimulating.
A final thanks to Marco Fois, Teresa Bortolotti, Giulia Patanè, Giacomo Speroni, Enrico Ballini, and Stefano Bonetti from the MOX Laboratory of Modeling and Scientific Computing of the Department of Mathematics, for sharing the results of their impactful research.
