Wojtek Okrasiński session

(hybrid meeting)

Prof. Wojciech Okrasiński (1950-2020) was a prolific Polish mathematician working at various boundaries between integral and differential equations along with a lifelong activity towards applied and industrial mathematics. His work and life encouraged many and this meeting aims to gather his friends and students to share their memories. 

He will always be remembered.
