Description

This open access book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). The focus is on SPDEs driven by Gaussian space-time white noise. The book covers both linear and nonlinear SPDEs, with Lipschitz and locally Lipschitz coefficients and multiplicative noise. It provides a modern presentation of the theory of stochastic integration with respect to space-time white noise and unifies many results in the literature. The book discusses fundamental topics such as existence and uniqueness of random field solutions, along with their space-time sample path regularity properties. The book also presents a selection of additional topics such as weak solutions in law to SPDEs, space-time Markov properties, asymptotic bounds on moments, comparison theorems, a study of polarity of points for SPDEs with additive noise, and a study of SPDEs with rough initial conditions that includes the parabolic and hyperbolic Anderson models and their intermittency properties. In the context of the stochastic heat equation, the book discusses additional important topics including invariant and limit measures, reversible measures and their relationship to bridge measures, irreducibility properties, and large interval asymptotics. The appendices gather results from analysis and stochastic processes that are used throughout the core of the book, including key elements from the general theory of stochastic processes, a detailed presentation of Kolmogorov’s anisotropic continuity criterion, numerous integrability properties of the fundamental solutions and Green’s functions associated to the heat and wave partial differential operators, explicit calculations of some space-time convolution series and some useful Gronwall-type lemmas. The book aims to be a reference for established researchers in the field of SPDEs, as well as for those who are interested in entering the field and becoming familiar with its techniques. In particular, graduate and postgraduate students with a background in stochastic analysis will find here a comprehensive and self-contained source of information which provides essential expertise in the subject.

“Peace and Security in a Multipolar World: New Risks and New Responsibilities for Science and Society”

Sara Oliveira — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:42:00 +0000

“Peace and Security in a Multipolar World: New Risks and New Responsibilities for Science and Society”

Speaker: Prof. Ashok Swain
Affiliation: Uppsala University | UNESCO

Date: 16 April 2026
Time: 14:00 CET (Brussels time)
Format: Online (Zoom & YouTube Livestream)

About the Webinar

Global peace is increasingly under strain as the world enters a turbulent era marked by growing geopolitical rivalry and weakening international cooperation. Armed conflicts and humanitarian crises are rising in many regions, while the accelerating climate crisis is intensifying resource scarcity, displacement, and instability. At the same time, global health threats, from pandemics to fragile health systems in conflict-affected regions, continue to expose deep inequalities and governance gaps.

Compounding these challenges is the growing rise of far-right politics and democratic backsliding in many parts of the world, which undermines international cooperation, fuels polarization, and weakens institutions designed to safeguard peace and human rights.

Addressing these interconnected crises requires stronger collaboration between science, policy, and society, and a renewed commitment to multilateral solutions that prioritize human security, sustainability, and democratic values.

About the Speaker

Prof. Ashok Swain is a Professor and Head of Department of the Department of Peace and Conflict Research. He is the UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation, and the Director of Research School of International Water Cooperation at Uppsala University. He is also the founding Editor-in-Chief of ‘Environment and Security’ journal.

“Science for a Shared Future: From Global Agendas to Local Impact”

Sara Oliveira — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:18:00 +0000

“Science for a Shared Future: From Global Agendas to Local Impact”

Speaker: Dr. Amal Kasry
Affiliation: UNESCO

Date: 11 May 2026
Time: 14:00 CET (Brussels time)
Format: Online (Zoom required / YouTube livestream)

About the Webinar

In an era marked by rapid technological transformation, climate pressures, and increasing global inequalities, science must not only advance knowledge, but also deliver impact.

This presentation will explore how UNESCO is mobilising science as a global public good, bridging disciplines, regions, and stakeholders to address complex challenges.

Building on flagship initiatives such as the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD), the Global Quantum Initiative, and emerging efforts such as Science in Crisis, the talk will highlight how UNESCO is shaping new models of international scientific cooperation—more inclusive, mission-driven, and responsive to societal needs.

The presentation will examine how basic sciences, engineering, and innovation can be leveraged to strengthen resilience, support evidence-based policymaking, and foster equitable access to emerging technologies, particularly in the Global South.

It will also reflect on the importance of connecting science to diplomacy, capacity building, and long-term development strategies.

Ultimately, the talk will argue that the future of science lies not only in discovery, but in our collective ability to organise it—across borders, sectors, and disciplines—for the benefit of all.

About the Speaker

Dr. Amal Kasry is Chief of Section for Research, Innovation and Engineering in the Natural Sciences Sector at UNESCO, where she leads global programmes in basic sciences and engineering capacity development. She has designed and delivered major international initiatives, including the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033) and global programmes in quantum science and basic sciences for sustainability.
