There will be several other lectures on topics close to the lecture courses. See the programme for details.

This is the second of two European Summer Schools on Mechanics and Symmetry (the first was in Sept 2000). And although taking place in France, it will mark the start of a special year at the University of Warwick Mathematics Research Centre devoted to Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry.
