M&MoCS – International Research Center on Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems

The Centre The International Research Center for Mathematics & Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MoCS) is a research centre of the University of L’Aquila. The centre was established in 2010 by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria delle Strutture, delle Acque e del Terreno (DISAT), the Dipartimento di Matematica Pura e Applicata (DMPA) of the University of L’Aquila and the Dipartimento di Strutture of Roma Tre University, with the financial and logistic aid of Fondazione Tullio Levi-Civita. The current director of the centre is Francesco dell’Isola, who is a full professor of mechanics of solids at “La Sapienza” University of Rome. The previous director of the centre was Angelo Luongo, who is a full professor of mechanics of solids at the University of L’Aquila. The mission of the centre is the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge. In order to pursue these goals, the centre: (a) conducts and coordinates research activities; (b) promotes initiatives for the enhancement of scientific liaison between researchers in mathematical fields and researchers in solid and fluid mechanics, operating both in Italy and abroad; (c) promotes, supports and organises highly qualified educational activities, such as training, Master’s and doctorate courses; (d) encourages the promotion of mathematics and mechanics of complex systems through publications, conferences, seminars and exhibitions; and (e) carries out consultancy and research activities for organisations and institutions.
