The 2024 Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) in Mathematical Modelling involves a set of short courses addressed to MSc and PhD students of the InterMaths Network and the EULiST European Alliance. It is activated by the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics of the University of L'Aquila in cooperation with the INGV and the GSSI.
The 2024 BIP in Mathematical Modelling is part of the education and training programme under the NATIONAL CENTRE FOR HPC, BIG DATA AND QUANTUM COMPUTING. 

The programme will revolve around applied mathematics viewed as an interdisciplinary area at the interface with engineering, physics, economy, geology, biology and social sciences.

Students can choose between 3 curricula:

• Modelling Earthquakes and Natural Disasters (MEND), chairs Federica Di Michele, Donato Pera

• Modelling and Simulations of Social-Behavioural Phenomena (MSSBP), chair Simone Fagioli.

Suitable Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance Computing techniques will be introduced in all three curricula.

Each curriculum will consist of:

• An online preparatory module in the period June 24 - 28, 2024, 15 hours with three mini-courses related to these preliminary subjects: introduction to PDEs, AI and HPC.

• And in-presence week in the period July 8 - 12, 2024 with in-presence courses, training AI-HPC lab. sessions and final project activity.

Organising committee

• Federica Di Michele (INGV - National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology)

• Simone Fagioli (UnivAQ - Univerisiy of L'Aquila)

• Donato Pera (UnivAQ - Univerisiy of L'Aquila)

• Bruno Rubino (UnivAQ - Univerisiy of L'Aquila)

All the students who wish to join our BIP must be currently enrolled in an MSc or PhD course in one of the following disciplines:

• Mathematics

• Applied mathematics

• Physics and Geophysics

• Engineering

• Geology

• Or similar subjects.

Courses will focus on these topics: Earthquake engineering, Computational Seismology, Geology, Pedestrian movement modelling, Epidemiology, Opinion dynamics, Earth observation and Climate models.
Students can choose the follwoing curricula:
 - Modelling Earthquakes and Natural Disasters (MEND)  will be based on the study of stochastic and elastodynamics equations for earthquake dynamics, reaction-diffusion, elastodynamic and fluid dynamics.
 - Modelling and Simulations of Social-Behavioural Phenomena (MSSBP) will be based on the study of reaction-diffusion-aggregation equations and conservation laws.

The participation of students and teachers will be supported by the new Erasmus short mobility scholarship and Erasmus Staff or Teaching Mobility scholarship.
