One-minute Poster session:

All participants were invited to present a poster concerning their research. Every presenter of a poster received a one-minute slot in the conference programme (in a plenary session) to attract the attention to his or her poster. PDF files of the one-minute session can be found here.

The following posters were rated the best by a jury consisting of all keynote speakers. This year we had two third price winners.

First price for Andreas van Barel (KUL)
Gradient and Hessian based optimization under uncertainties using MLMC

Second price for Pieterjan Robbe (KUL)
Combining Multigrid and Multilevel Monte Carlo with Applications to Uncertainty Quantification

Third price for Roel Tielen (TUD)
Efficient solvers in Isogeometric Analysis
third price-1

Third price for Yous van Halder (CWI)
Machine Learning Based Stochastic Space Decomposition for Uncertainty Quantification
