We are very happy to welcome Prof. Florin Adrian Radu, Manuel Antonio Borregales Reverón and Erlend Storvik from the Institute of Mathematics, University of Bergen. They stay from 4th to 8th February 2019 and will give a short course about: “Solvers for nonlinear and/or coupled problems in porous media”.
