About the chair
The Chair of Computational Mathematics of Fundación Deusto at University of Deusto, Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) aims to develop an active research, training and outreach agenda in various aspects of Applied Mathematics. The Chair is committed with the development of ground-breaking research in the areas of Partial Differential Equations, Control Theory, Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing; key tools for technological transfer and for the interaction of Mathematics with other scientific disciplines such as Biology, Engineering, Earth and Climate Sciences.

ERC CoDeFeL
ERC CoDeFeL. Control for Deep and Federated Learning is an European project funded by the European Research Council – ERC (2024 – 2029), developed in cooperation between the FAU, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) and the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Basque Country (Spain). CoDeFeL seeks to make a breakthrough that takes the mathematical foundations of Machine Learning beyond their present frontiers, through the systematic development of new ideas and methods inspired by control theory.
