Programme (timings in CEST)
19.30: Opening of the meeting
19.35: vICM Satellite Event: Public Lecture by Tadashi Tokieda (Stanford)
A world from a sheet of paper.
Synopsis: Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, we will explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry to elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami. Much of the lecture consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family.
So, take a sheet of paper…
