Berlin, Germany

The FBP conference is a flagship event that brings together the free boundary and partial differential equation community and is organized every few years with the most recent preceding conferences in the City of João Pessoa (Brazil, 2024), online in Berlin (Germany, 2021), Shanghai (China, 2017), Cambridge (UK, 2014) and Chiemsee (Germany, 2012) after the historical beginnings of the conference series in Montecatini (Italy, 1981). FBP 2026 is a much anticipated follow-up of FBP 2021 which, due to restrictions during the Covid-pandemic at that time, was hosted online by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) Berlin. The 2026 edition of FBP will take place on-site at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany. Thematically, the conference will cover a broad range of topics from modeling, analysis, optimization to numerical realization. These include aspects such as uncertainties or stochastics, data-driven intelligent numerical solution techniques (e.g. utilizing techniques of machine learning), and applications.
