Since 2002, the International Conference on Scientific Computing and Partial Differential Equations (SCPDE) conference-series aims to promote research interests in scientific computation. It is our intention to organize a well-respected international conference series on scientific computing at the university every three years. The past conferences of the series were respectively held in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011 and then 2014. All conferences in the series were held at the university, well attended by internationally recognized experts in respective disciplines and were found highly successful in providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and the latest results within a multi-disciplinary setting.

On the occasion of the 80th birthday of Roland Glowinski, we are organizing this international conference to review recent developments and to explore exciting new directions in scientific computing and partial differential equations and their interactions with other fields.
