Abstract submission from young researchers open until May 6!

The workshop has no registration fees and full board accommodation expenses will be covered for successful applicants by grants from the EU and the Franco-German University. Travel support for master students is also ensured, while limited travel support is available upon request for young researchers.

See Submission instructions on the left panel for further information.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading experts and researchers in the areas of finite elements and mechanobiology, with a specific interest in modelling morphogenesis in animal and plant systems.

During the workshop we aim at discussing in a cooperative manner the latest advancements, challenges and opportunities in this research field, with a particular focus on the following sub-topics:

• Cell/tissue large deformations and growth
• Meshing/Remeshing challenges and topology changes
• Coupled surface-bulk dynamics (cortex-cytoplasm, epithelium-yolk etc...)
• Mechanochemical couplings
• Multiscale modelling of morphogenesis
• Acceleration techniques
