Scope of the school
This summer school introduces fundamental analytical and probabilistic tools used in current research on particle systems. It is primarily aimed at Master's and PhD students, as well as post-doctoral and early career researchers interested in these topics and their connections
The objective of the summer school Particle systems and PDEs is to introduce some of the key analytical and probabilistic tools to study these interacting particles systems; as well as to foster interactions and collaboration between the participants.
This summer school serves as an introduction to the conference PSPDEs XIV taking place in Toulouse the following week. If you are interested, do not hesitate to sign up as well.
This event is part of the thematic semester Interacting particles, PDEs and applications, held at Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse, from April to December 2026.
Content of the school
The school will be centered around four courses, consisting in lectures and exercice sessions, but also contributed talks and a poster session by the participants. Below is the list of courses.
- Stochastic models for coagulation processes, large scale limits and phase transitions
Luisa Andreis (Università degli Studi di Torino) - An Introduction to Mean Field Kinetic Equations
Francis Filbet ( Université de Toulouse) - Cumulants, their evolution hierarchies, and how to use them to control chaos for kinetic theory
Jani Lukkarinen (University of Helsinki) - Local and global survival of spatial branching processes and generalized principal eigenvalues
Pascal Maillard (Université de Toulouse)
Financial support
We offer a limited number of fellowships (housing, conference lunches, and local transport) to support the participation of non-local participants. It is mainly open to Master and PhD students but, exceptionally, recently graduate post-docs can also be considered. If you require such funding, please register before April 1st.
Travelling to Toulouse is not covered by our fellowships. However, support may be considered for plane or train tickets on a case-by-case basis for a few students.
