We are happy to announce the workshop “Pathways into Mathematics of SPDEs”, taking place from Monday, March 9, 2026 to Wednesday, March 11, 2026 in Heidelberg. The workshop is a joint initiative by doctoral students from Karlsruhe's KCDS and Heidelberg's HGS MathComp. Its aim is to provide early-career researchers with a smooth introduction to this highly relevant topic.
Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) are a notoriously challenging topic in combining advanced theory of both partial differential equations and stochastic processes. However, it is due to this sophisticated combination of both concepts that they emerge as a powerful and versatile tool for modelling highly diverse phenomena in the sciences. While incredibly useful to describe these systems, utilising them jointly with data and measurements to accurately determine characteristics or provide reliable predictions is still very much a work in progress in (applied) mathematics.
A central challenge, especially for junior researchers with an interest in the field, is that there is a major gap to overcome from available lecture materials, graduate courses and books to current problems and challenges in applied mathematics for SPDEs. The workshop aims to support doctoral students in closing this gap, growing a network of junior researchers and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
Registration is open until February 15 via the following link:

Please note: If you miss the deadline but have a strong interest in the workshop, you are welcome to contact the organizers – late inquiries may still be considered depending on availability.
The workshop is hosted by the research group of Prof. Claudia Strauch, and organized by Timo Dörzbach, Louise Kluge, Josef Martínek, Hans Reimann and Maximilian Siebel. The STRUCTURES Cluster of Excellence is proud to support this workshop.
