Summary for 2021

2021 is the year of recovering from the coronavirus outbreak from 2020. But it was still a fruitful year for our Analysis & PDE Center at Ghent University. Here, we summarise the main highlights from this year.

Some statistics:

  • Our website analysis-pde.org had more than 68,000 views since 2019.
  • We had 33 speakers in Ghent Methusalem Junior Seminar for 2021.
  • More than 170 presentations were given by our members in our Analysis & PDE group seminar in 2021.
