With scientific presentations in a familiar atmosphere, the Conference will be an opportunity to recognize Felix Otto's many and varied contributions as mentor, collaborator, and influential colleague.

The schedule will be kept not too dense in order to leave ample time for discussions (mathematical and otherwise). In addition to the scientific talks, we plan to have a bit of fun with speeches, photos, and personal recollections. Registration is free but mandatory.
