The CEMRACS is a scientific event of the SMAI (the French Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics). The concept was initiated in 1996 by Yvon Maday and Fr´ed´eric Coquel and takes place every year at CIRM in Luminy (Marseille, France) during 6 weeks from mid-July. The goal of this event is to bring together scientists from both the academic and industrial communities to work and discuss on focused topics. During the first week, a classical school is proposed. It consists of several lectures given by leading scientists and related to the topics of the research projects. The remaining 5 weeks are dedicated to working on the research projects, possibly after a morning seminar.
This CEMRACS 2022 is dedicated to the mathematical modelling, analysis and numerical simulation of transport problems arising from diverse scientific fields. Transport problems encompass both fundamental and industrial issues. The topic is intentionally broad and gather very current challenges. Transport processes occur at different scales, from the molecular motor dynamics inside cells up to the urban mobility issues. Transport can be very simple but very massive and thus requires specific high-performance computing algorithms. Transport can also be very sophisticated and mathematical development is often necessary to characterize and control it. Transport also has deep applications in data science to find out optimal correspondences.
