 odel</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
 <p>Approach to equilibrium is the phenomenon whereby large isolated systems
  with many degrees of freedom evolve, from almost any initial condition, as
 ymptotically in time, towards thermodynamic equilibrium; it lies at the hea
 rt of thermodynamics. Rigorously proving the occurrence of this phenomenon 
 in classical or quantum (model) systems remains a difficult task. We will i
 n this talk report on progress on a simpler problem, which consists in show
 ing circumstances in both classical and quantum systems under which a small
  system is driven to thermal equilibrium as the result of its coupling to a
  large reservoir, which is itself out of equilibrium. This phenomenon of th
 e emergence of equilibrium in the small system is distinct from the much be
 tter understood phenomenon of return to equilibrium, in which the reservoir
  is in equilibrium initially.</p><p>The talk is based on joint work with M.
  Merkli, C. Mejia-Monasterio and P. Parris.</p>
