The aim of this meeting is to bring together leading experts of Harmonic Analysis and Geometric Measure Theory as well as young researchers, and to underline the interactions between these two areas.

Beyond their own developments, Harmonic Analysis and Geometric Measure Theory have strong connections with several other research areas such as PDE’s, Functional Analysis, or Calculus of Variations. In recent years tools from Harmonic Analysis and Geometric Measure Theory also came up as fruitful frameworks for problems coming from applied mathematics, such as image processing, approximation of surfaces, shape optimization etc.

One of the aims of the conference will be to underline these connections between pure and applied mathematics.

In addition to plenary talks, it is the intention of the organizers to give  young researchers the opportunity to present their work to an international audience and to encourage fruitful discussions between young and more advanced researchers.

This meeting will also be an opportunity to celebrate Guy David’s 60th birthday.
