Programme

The scientific programme, consisting of plenary talks, semi-plenary talks, and several sessions and contributed talks, covers various areas of operator theory, and its connections to complex analysis, harmonic analysis, random matrix theory, mathematical physics, inverse problems, and their applications. It will be published in due course.
