The 10th Shanghai International Symposium on Nonlinear Sciences and Applications was held from July 22 to 27 at China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT). This symposium was co-hosted by the Shanghai Society of Nonlinear Sciences and CUMT, and was supported by the School of Mathematics at CUMT, the Jiangsu Center for Applied Mathematics, the Jiangsu Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Frontier Research Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Active Materials and Complex Networks, the Institute of Intelligent Complex Systems at Fudan University, the School of Mathematical Sciences at Fudan University, and the Shanghai Center for Mathematical Sciences. Prof. Cai Shihua, Deputy Secretary of CUMT Party Committee, graced the forum with his presence. The conference was chaired by Prof. Huang Guoxiang, President of the Shanghai Society of Nonlinear Sciences, with Mr. Lin Wei serving as co-chair and Secretary-General of the Society, as well as a Professor at Fudan University. Mr. Rong Hui, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Mathematics, and other key personnel, along with a multitude of experts and scholars from across the globe, actively engaged in the discussions. The opening ceremony was led by Prof. Fan Shengjun, Dean of the School of Mathematics.
Prof. Cai Shihua delivered a welcoming address, providing a concise overview of the history and current state of development at CUMT. He said that, in line with the strategic objective of “strengthening sciences” within CUMT’s “Double First-Class” initiative, the School of Mathematics has experienced rapid advancement and has accomplished significant milestones in the development of its mathematics program. Prof. Cai also pointed out that this symposium serves as a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange among experts and scholars in the field of nonlinear sciences and its applications. He hoped that attendees would take full advantage of this valuable opportunity to delve deeply into the latest research accomplishments and future trends in the field, thereby contributing to the advancement of nonlinear sciences.
Prof. Huang Guoxiang and Prof. Lin Wei expressed their gratitude for the support from CUMT, and warmly welcomed the attending guests. They highlighted that nonlinear sciences represent one of the most dynamic and promising areas of research in the 21st century, steering significant transformations in the realms of science and technology. As a leading academic institution in this field, the Shanghai Society of Nonlinear Sciences is dedicated to the exploration of cutting-edge nonlinear theories, the research of innovative methodologies, and their practical applications. The society aims to bring together experts and scholars from around the world to collaboratively promote the advancement and applied research of nonlinear sciences.
The workshop featured a total of 15 conference presentations and over 70 breakout sessions. Prof. Celso Grebogi, Academician of the European Academy of Sciences and affiliated with the University of Aberdeen in the UK; Prof. Jürgen Kurths, Academician of the European Academy of Sciences and associated with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany; Prof. Chen Luonan from the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Prof. Xiao Yanni of Xi’an Jiaotong University; Prof. Tang Yang from East China University of Science and Technology; Prof. Albert Goldbeter of Free University of Brussels, Belgium; Prof. Yan Gang of Tongji University; Prof. Xu Yong of Northwestern Polytechnical University; Prof. Lv Xin of the National University of Defence Technology; Prof. Wu Tailin of Westlake University; Prof. Zheng Shuangjia of Shanghai Jiaotong University; Prof. Kazuyuki Aihara of the University of Tokyo; Prof. Ulrike Feudel of the University of Oldenburg; Prof. Miguel Sanjuán of Universidad Rey Juan Carlos; and Prof. Wen Guanghui of Southeast University delivered special reports at the sub-conference.
