Workshop. Organizing and Scientific Committee: Hermano Frid (IMPA) Felipe Linares (IMPA) Eduardo Teixeira (UFC).

The field of nonlinear partial differential equations has experienced a striking evolution over the last fifteen years in Brazil. The number of PhD's and students has increased creating a critical mass. In this process it is fundamental to have a scientific interchange with researchers leaders in the field. The aim of the workshop is to continuing this process by allowing the community to attend to lectures of recent and important progress in the field delivered by renowned specialists. The workshop will bring together leading experts in nonlinear dispersive equations, nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, nonlinear elliptic equations and free-boundary problems. Graduate students and young PhD's are encouraged to participate of this meeting
