The Banff International Research Station will host the workshop "Recent Breakthroughs and New Perspectives on the Interplay between Fluid Mechanics and Kinetic Theory" in 2026. This event will bring together leading experts from two closely-related fields---fluid mechanics and kinetic theory---that have seen remarkable progress and growth in the last decade. The workshop aims to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas between these communities, accelerating the proliferation of techniques and discovery of new research directions.
