The conference aims at celebrating the centennial of Professor Louis Nirenberg, one of the most eminent figures in the field of mathematical analysis in the twentieth century. Through this event, we intend to explore the enduring impact and the innovations introduced by Nirenberg in partial differential equations and geometric function theory.

Featuring international mathematicians and with a special participation of his daughter and a few friends among his big mathematical family, the event is intended to settle an intergenerational dialogue among mathematicians who worked directly with him and young researchers who continue to expand the boundaries of mathematical science.

This celebration will also be an opportunity to reflect on the future directions of mathematical research, inspired by the foundations set by Nirenberg.
