The Workshop begins in the afternoon of Wednesday 15th November. This first day is sponsored by the London Dynamical Systems Group, and supported by an LMS Scheme 3 grant.

All talks are in the School of Mathematical Sciences, either in Maths Seminar Room 103 (on the 1st floor), or in G2 (on the ground floor, to your left as you enter the building).
