About the conference

Geometric evolution problems form an important area of modern mathematical research with far-reaching applications within mathematics and beyond. This workshop will gather together many leading Australian researchers and some key international guests to discuss latest developments, build on existing collaborations and initiate new ones. Topics will include second and higher order geometric flow and semilinear and fully nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations.

Speakers

Workshop dinner

The workshop dinner will be held on Wednesday 16th January at Scratchleys at 6 pm.

AMSI Travel Funding

This event is sponsored by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI). AMSI allocates a travel allowance annually to each of its member universities (for a list of members, see amsi.org.au/membership/members/). Students or early career researchers from AMSI member universities without access to a suitable research grant or other source of funding may apply to the Head of Mathematical Sciences for subsidy of travel and accommodation out of the departmental travel allowance. Visit research.amsi.org.au/travel-funding/ for details.

Venue

The workshop will be held at Noah's on the Beach, Newcastle.

Accommodation Suggestions

There are two main areas with hotels and backpacker accommodation — Newcastle East and Honeysuckle, within easy walking distance of each other and the conference venue. Honeysuckle is a popular area with lots of restaurants with great views across the harbour. Additionally, the website wotif.com sometimes has good deals.
