The workshop brings together scientists from the Netherlands and abroad with different expertise and career stages in the broad field of degenerate parabolic systems (porous medium type equations, higher order problems, cross-diffusion systems, free-boundary problems, …) with application in physics and biology. We aim to advance the current state of the art in the analysis and numerics of such systems and to form a network of experts in this field. Moreover, we aim to foster new collaborations between mathematicians from different mathematical communities and to connect theoretical analysis with numerics and real-world applications.
