Geometry and Symmetry in Mechanics is the
subject of European Research Network (MASIE), and this small
workshop will enable about 15 of the members of this network to
meet in an informal setting, together with one or two
researchers from outside Europe.
The meeting will allow time for people who
are already collaborating on their research to continue to do
so, and hopefully will provide the impetus for new
collaborations to start. There will (probably) be a few
informal seminars which will be arranged at the time depending
on who wants to hear what from whom! The tranquil setting and
healthy mountain air of Peyresq is ideal for this sort of
meeting.
