MASCOT 2021 Meeting

The MASCOT NUM 2021 meeting is organized from April 28th to April 30th, 2021, by Peter Challenor (univ. of Exeter - UK), Céline Helbert (Ecole Centrale de Lyon) and Clémentine Prieur (univ. Grenoble Alpes).

The meeting was originally planed to be held in Aussois (France) at the CNRS Centre Paul Langevin. However, due to COVID-19 restriction uncertainties, it is turned to a virtual conference.

Registration is free but mandatory. It is open untill April, the 25th midnight (local time in France). Only registered people will receive the zoom links for oral presentations and poster sessions.

The meeting will focus on statistical analysis and uncertainty quantification of complex numerical models for natural world.

The first day of the annual Mascot-Num workshop is devoted to PhD students communications on topics related to the Mascot-Num network activities, i.e. sensitivity analysis,uncertainty quantification in simulation, design and modelling of computer experiments, model calibration and validation, structural reliability, optimization under uncertainty, data-driven modelling methods, etc. PhD students are invited to submit a two-page abstract using the LaTeX abstract template. Eight students will be selected by the Mascot-Num Scientific Committee for oral presentations on April 28th, 2021. The other accepted abstracts will be considered for the poster session to be held on the same day. The PDF file shall be sent by January 15th, 2021 to gdr-mascotnum-contact@services.cnrs.fr. Please specify in your email if you want your abstract to be considered for an oral presentation or a poster. Authors will be informed whether their abstracts have been accepted in oral or poster by end of february. A prize of 1000€ will be awarded for the best oral presentation by the Mascot-Num scientific committee. A prize of 500€ will be awarded for the best poster in each of both parallel sessions by the Mascot-Num scientific committee.

Thanks to all the PhD students for the quality of their presentation (oral presentation or poster).

The best student presentation award has been granted to Clément Bénard (Safrantech/Sorbonne University). The best student poster award has been granted to Athénaïs Gautier (Bern University) and Nora Lüthen (ETH Zurich).

Congratulations to them!

The schedules in the program are given with french local time (CEST Central European Summer Time).
