Colloque International de Théories Variationnelles (CITV) 2024

Program

In marked contrast to standard Colloquia, the CITV’s style is completely informal:

 - The schedule is prepared day-to-day and, if necessary, the talk durations may be adjusted under way.

- Preference is given to present ideas on the blackboard even if modern video presentations are also allowed.

- Emphasis is put on scientific maturity and creative ideas as opposed to technicalities.

- A large time is devoted to questions, discussion and exchange of ideas.

- The spectrum of topics being very broad, a special attention is paid to present advanced
concepts in simple terms for people with strong scientific background but the non-specialists ofthe topic.

- The oral transmission of the knowledge is preferred –but not opposed– to modern
communication based on paper publication.

- Epistemological talks are sometimes given in the evening and also open to accompanying persons.

Social program

 The social program is not reserved for accompanying persons but convivial interludes are scheduled in the afternoon for scientific participants sharing cultural visits and excursions with them.

 A mountain emerging from the sea, it is the Isle of Beauty itself that has sculpted Bastia into a little corner of the world just perfect for all the joys of the great outdoors – in perfect harmony with the exceptional nature that surrounds us. Perched villages, sandy beaches, lagoon cordon, small pebbled coves, pine forests, nature reserves, archaeological site… so many treasures to discover.
