 Organisers: Elisabeth
Agoritsas and Francesco Zamponi Speakers:
This

the yielding
transition of
amorphous materials under load and
the depinning
transition of
elastic objects driven in a quenched disordered
landscape. Related
topics such as plasticity, avalanches, and jamming
will be
discussed. Program
