The understanding of nonlinear phenomena has become a central theme in applied mathematics. The aim of this conference is to discuss the challenges applied nonlinear analysis has to face given the increased diversity of scientific problems, and that they are seen from various points of view.

• In which direction should the classical techniques be developed further?
• How do new available technologies, particularly concerning the modern computer, influence the development of our research area?
• Which are the major trends in applied analysis?

The conference will close with a reception to celebrate Willi Jaeger's birthday.
