Abstract

We propose four scientific missions to happen over the course of two years with the main goal of strengthening collaboration between the groups led by Dr. Danilo B. Liarte at São Paulo State University and Prof. Hartmut Löwen at Heinrich-Heine-Universität at Düsseldorf. During these visits, we will investigate the interplay between activity and structural disorder, and their role on statistical properties of elastic systems. (AU)
