Escorial 2008

Welcome to the webpage of the 8th International Conference on Harmonic Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. The "El Escorial Meetings", as they are known, began in 1979 and were followed by others in 1983, 1987, 1992 (this one in Miraflores de la Sierra), 1996, 2000, 2004. The eighth will take place on June 16-20, 2008.

These International Conferences are a meeting point for mathematicians working in the area of harmonic analysis and its interplay with partial differential equations. They have attracted mathematicians from all over the world and their Proceedings have recorded periodically the basic developments in the above mentioned areas.

The format of these Conferences is somehow special, for it consists of both short courses and general lectures. Four outstanding mathematicians in the field of harmonic analysis and partial differential equations are invited to present, in 3 or 4 one-hour sessions, a rich and actual piece of mathematics assuming minimal background from the audience and reaching the frontiers of present day research. These lectures are thought primarily for young graduate and post-graduate students or for mathematicians in other areas who want to become acquainted with the field. In addition to this, the Conference presents 15 to 20 one-hour lectures of a more specialized nature, given by invited speakers. Finally, some sessions of short talks are scheduled to accommodate those participants wishing to present their own recent results.

As in previous conferences, there will be a small number of grants, mainly intended for graduate students, to cover the registration fee and/or accommodation.

We hope that you will find in these pages all the information that you need as a potential participant in the Conference, and we look forward to seeing you in El Escorial.
