Description:
Chemical kinetics is a treasure house of nonlinear dynamics.

For instance, the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reaction is a well-known representative model that has influenced and activated many disciplines of applied mathematics, especially pattern formation theory and dynamical system theory.

Since the early 90's, Turing patterns have been realized in chemical laboratories. These patterns are just examples of the complex dynamics that can be generated by chemical reactions. In order to test the theory and to develop fundamental insight in the observations, the interaction between experiments and theory has accelerated significantly in recent years.

The goal of this workshop is to enhance the interaction between mathematicians and chemists working in nonlinear dynamics, and to stimulate the further development of the new and exciting field
