14th International Conference on Free Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications
http://math.sjtu.edu.cn/conference/2017ICFBP/
will be held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Shanghai, China) from July 9- 14, 2017. 

This conference aims to bring together mathematical scientists with interests in the theory, numerics and applications of free boundary problems and discuss recent significant advances and current trends/directions in free boundary problems and related topics. The plenary speakers for the conferences include Elena Bonetti (University of Milan, Milan, Italy) Shuxing Chen (Fudan University, Shanghai, China Emmanuele DiBenedetto (Vanderbilt University, USA) Avner Friedman (Ohio State University, Columbus, USA) Harald Garcke(University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany) Michael Hinze (University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany) Song Jiang(Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, Beijing, China) Tao Luo (City University of Hong Kong, China)Henrik Shahgholian (The Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden) Mete Soner (ETH, Zurich, Switzerland)Ya-Guang Wang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China)

There will be fourteen Theme Sessions on Free Boundary Problems (FBPs).

1. Regularity and singularity of free boundaries 
2. Phase field models 
3. Free Boundary Problems in biology 
4. Free Boundary Problems in Gas Dynamics, MHD, and related topics 
5. Surface PDEs and related topics 
6. Free Boundary Problems in mixed-type PDEs
7. Probabilistic methods for FBPs through reflected backward stochastic differential equations         
8. Optimization and control of interfaces 
9. Free Boundary Problems in water waves, incompressible fluids, and related topics 
10. Free boundaries/interfaces on graphs 
11. Numerics for Free Boundary Problems and related topics 
12. Free Boundary Problems in industry 
13. Further Connections with other areas 
14. PDE Problems with Moving and Free Boundaries

There will also be three satellite conferences at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai,Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing , and City University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong. 

There will be a Summer School (2017 International Summer School on Free boundary problems: Theory and Applications) during the period from July 2 to July 8, 2017, which is right before the conference. 
There will be three mini courses, each with lectures, aimed at graduate students, postdocs, and early career researchers by Mikhail Feldman (University of Wisconsin, Madison) Monica Torres (Purdue University) 
Hui Yu (University of Texas, Austin)

Local accommodation will be provided for graduate students and selected young researchers to participate both the summer school and the conference.
