Introduction
The sixteenth conference on the Mathematics of Finite Elements
and Applications will be held at
Brunel University and will
run during
18 - 21 June 2019
This page is frequently updated. If you would like to be added to the MAFELAP email
list please send an email, giving your name, to
mafelap@brunel.ac.uk with the words add to mafelap list in the subject.
The aim will again be to bring together workers from different
disciplines who have a common interest in the analysis or application
of finite element and related methods, and to promote wider awareness
throughout the community of the latest developments in the field.
We welcome participation relating to all aspects of numerical PDE's
including, for example,
FEM/BEM and related applications and analysis
isogeometric analysis
porous Media, sub-surface flow, fracking
multiscale, coupled and multi-Physics problems
meshless methods, hydrocodes
biomedical and bioengineering modelling
reduced basis methods
CFD, structural mechanics and electromagnetism
dynamics and impact, structural integrity
smart/complex materials, metamaterials
free surface flows, waves and acoustics
localisation and regularisation

Audio Visual facilities
Every room is equipped with a Windows PC, an LCD projector and a VGA laptop connector.
If your laptop does not have a VGA output port (e.g. it has HDMI instead) then you will
need to supply your own adaptor in order to connect to our projectors.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR MACHINE and BRING an adaptor to your talk
if necessary. We cannot supply them.
If you are using the Windows PC please note:
- It will have basic Microsoft Office tools such as PowerPoint, Word and Excel
- It will have a PDF reader
- A MAFELAP conference technician will boot the PC 15 minutes prior to the start
of each session to enable pre-loading of presentation files
If you require any more specialised software or operating system you should arrange to
use a self-configured laptop.
In any case, to avoid technical difficulties, if you have any requirement beyond a
plain Power Point or PDF presentation we strongly recommend that wherever possible
you use your own laptop.
If you are using a laptop please note:
- You will need to know how to switch the laptop's screen output to the VGA (projector) port.
- You will need an adaptor if your machine does not have a VGA port (see above).
- Screen resolutions higher than 1064 by 768, and wide screens, may not project properly.
In order that you can load your files and/or test your laptop before your talk we have
arranged for the mini-symposium and parallel session rooms to be made available from 15
minutes prior to the start of each session by a MAFELAP conference technician. This
technician will be able to help you connect and display your laptop.
Plenary speakers not using their own laptops are invited to provide their presentation
to Simon Shaw or Carolyn Sellers at, or shortly after, registration (preferably on a
returnable memory stick), or by email in advance of registration.
We do not supply pointers or projection adaptors of any kind

IMA studentships
As a result of a grant from the
Institute of Mathematics and Its
Applications (IMA)
the conference is able to fund a number of MAFELAP 2019 Studentships for research
students who are registered for PhD study at a UK university who
do not have other means of support. These studentships will cover the student
registration fees at the conference (not accommodation or travel). Applications are
now invited, and any student wishing to apply for a studentship should, not later than
8 April 2019, submit a Case for Support (not more than 1 A4 page) together with a
supporting letter from his/her supervisor to
mafelap@brunel.ac.uk with IMA studentship proposal in the
subject line.
BICOM is very grateful for this
IMA support.

Call for Abstracts
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION HAS NOW CLOSED
Please note:
Due to timetabling and conference scheduling constraints,
payment of the registration fee includes just one mini-symposium or parallel session
presentation. Exceptionally, and with prior agreement of the CONFERENCE organisers,
we have been able to schedule a small number of people to give two presentations.
No further double presentations are possible at the current time.
Mini-Symposia
MINI SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED
Please note:
Due to timetabling and conference scheduling constraints,
payment of the registration fee includes just one mini-symposium or parallel session
presentation. Exceptionally, and with prior agreement of the CONFERENCE organisers,
one delegate may give two such presentations but we can offer no automatic guarantee
that this agreement can be made. Even if it is we will not be able to constrain the
timetable beyond ensuring that the two presentations don't clash.

Getting Here
Full details of how to get to Brunel University London
are available here.
You can also directly access a campus map from
here
We recommend that delegates travelling from overseas if possible
aim to arrive at London Heathrow airport (6 miles from Brunel).
Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and City although all called
London airports are, in fact, considerable distances from Brunel
University London. Coaches run from these airports to Heathrow
where you can take the bus to Brunel. Trains also run from these
airports to Central London where you then need to take the London
Underground to reach Brunel. For all these journeys you would
need to add between 2 and 3 hours travelling time to reach Brunel
and there would, of course, be additional costs.
