This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 15 to 19 December 2025.
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in recasting hydrodynamics as a modern effective field theory (EFT), encompassing both quantum and statistical effects. This has required, in turn, advances in our understanding of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, which is necessary to study out-of-equilibrium systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading experts to arrive at a synthesis of these recent results and reconcile different approaches in a unique framework.
