Five QUTE-members (Marc Brachet, Ionut Danaila, Luminita Danaila, Victor Kalt and Francky Luddens) are back from Singapore, where they participated in the Thematic Program (September 30, 2019 - March 31, 2020): Quantum and Kinetic Problems: Modeling, Analysis, Numerics and Applications, held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS), National University of Singapore (NUS). It was a great event, full of interesting and exciting scientific and social discoveries (see pictures below).

We are all grateful to the lead organizers, and in particular to Weizhu Bao for the invitation. We aknowledge IMS & NUS for the financial support provided for our participation in this program.
