Data assimilation (DA) is a powerful and versatile method for combining observational data of a system with its dynamical model to generate state estimates. These techniques are essential for numerical weather and climate predictions, but aplications of DA to many other scientific and engineering disciplines are emerging rapidly. DA is inherently interdisciplinary in nature and requires close collaborations and interactions between researchers inatmospheric sciences, in nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, and in applied mathematics and statistics.The Data Assimilation Research Program (DARP) is primarily aimed at developing an interest within the academic and scientific community in pure and applied research related to DA, in order to form a group of researchers, developers, and users of data assimilation systems.The initial set of activities will consist of a "Monsoon School on Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Data Assimilation" along with an "International Conference o...

One of the most exciting developments in recent years has been the appreciation of the role of topology in quantum condensed matter, which provides fundamental insight into measurable quantities that are insensitive to details. This summer school will consist of mini-courses on the concepts in mathematical topology, quantum Hall effect, topological insulators and topological quantum computation. The lecturers will be world renowned scientists involved in forefront research in these areas.The school is aimed at students who are interested in pursuing research in physics. These could include first or second year MSc students in physics or mathematics, beginning Ph.D. students in physics, or BE/B-Tech students in various branches of engineering who wish to pursue physics. It will be expected that the students have been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics, but we will make a serious attempt to keep the course as self contained as possible by including a substantial amount of preparator...

The program RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS FOR THE LHC has been organized in two parts:1. Advanced School on Radiative Corrections for the LHC, April 04 -11, 2011, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata2. RADCOR 2011 - 10th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections, September 26-30, 2011, MahabalipuramThe era of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva has begun. While the LHC detectors will be able to measure fundamental scattering reactions with unprecedented experimental precision, it is clear that the interpretation of these high-quality data demands an equally high precision in the theoretical predictions. In order to connect the observed phenomena with the underlying theoretical models, one needs a precise understanding of the involved processes at the quantum level. Since the Standard Model and most theories of New Physics are quantum field theories, one has to reliably calculate processes with many external particles and also include loop corrections from strong and...

This school aims to cover a variety of topics in modern day lattice field theory. Important basic topics will be covered in extensive courses, while there will be shorter courses in newly developing techniques and methods. The coverage is broad enough that beginning doctoral students as well as those closer to finishing their doctoral work on lattice field theory will benefit from it. The course may be of interest also to other students outside this field if they have strong interest in field theories or QCD.The school is open to students from any part of the world. Invited students will be given full local hospitality. The number of such invitations is limited by the budget. If you would like to apply for the school, then please let us know by filling the pre-registration form. It may be possible to give partial travel support to a few students. If you require support, then please write to the conference address after filling the pre-registration form.Confirmed lecturers are S. Aoki, ...

This meeting is an ICTS program on a topic of immense contemporary importance, the use of massive data-sets and computations for scientific explorations. The main aim is to bring together experts working on scientific questions using vast amounts of observational, experimental, and/or numerical data, along with experts working on the mathematical and computer-scientific aspects of storing, curing, accessing, visualising, and analysing such large data-sets.The meeting will consist of keynote lectures, research talks, a public lecture, and a pedagogical workshop component which will include hands-on computational laboratories. It is hoped that both the keynote and research talks will outline the important problems in their respective areas, discuss how data based discovery is leading to significant contributions in resolving these problems, point the way to future avenues for research, and be accessible to a wide section of scientists from the following fields that will be represented at...
