The conference aims to bring together leading senior researchers and promising early‑career scholars working in elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. Key topics include regularity theory and its applications, free boundary problems, singularity formation and qualitative properties of solutions. A particular emphasis will be placed on fostering participation from young scholars in Eastern Europe, providing them with the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge developments in the area. The inaugural edition of the conference took place in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 2024.
The upcoming Second Edition will be held from May 25 to May 29, 2026, in Arbanashki Han Hotel Complex, in Arbanasi, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.
If you wish to attend the conference, please register as soon as possible, since space is limited. Registration is free but mandatory.
