Port-Hamiltonian Systems 2025
Spring School on Theory and Applications of Port-Hamiltonian Systems
23-28 March 2025, Fraueninsel (Chiemsee)
The port-Hamiltonian approach allows the structured modelling of complex, interconnected and heterogeneous multi-physical systems. It is the basis for control methods, which exploit the underlying physical structure or impose desired energetic behaviour in closed loop. The third edition of the international spring school PHS 2025 targets PhD students, PostDocs, and advanced Master students from engineering and applied mathematics, who are interested in the state of the art, current research topics and applications in the fields
- modelling of complex multi-domain physical systems,
- structure-preserving numerical methods and their use in control,
- novel approaches for energy- and entropy-aware and optimal control.
The school is organized by Paul Kotyczka (TUM), Bernhard Maschke (University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France) and the Franco-Bavarian University Cooperation Center (BayFrance) in Munich, in cooperation with Birgit Jacob (University of Wuppertal, Germany).

Date and Venue
The school takes place from Sunday, 23rd until Friday, 28th of March 2025.
The beautiful Benedictine abbey of Frauenwörth is located on the small island Fraueninsel in the Lake Chiemsee, around 90 km southeast of Munich, at the edge of the Bavarian Alps, halfway to Salzburg.
Program and Speakers
The program contains lectures to introduce the port-Hamiltonian approach, advanced topics and application talks. A mini-course by Claudia Totzeck and Manuel Schaller introduces to optimization and optimal control for port-Hamiltonian systems. Participants bring a poster on their research topic, as a basis for the exchange with the experts in interactive sessions.
Find here the flyer and the final program.
