The conference took place in Fortaleza - Ceará - Brazil, from 23 to 27 July 2018. The scientific program
had an excellent level with 33 plenary lectures (40 minutes each) and a poster session where 11 colleagues presented their work. The lectures brought new developments on the area of partial differential equations distributed among the following themes:

• Elliptic partial differential equations
• Parabolic partial differential equations
• Free boundary problems
• Fluid dynamics
• Regularity theory for partial differential equations

The conference was a great opportunity to the interaction among researchers, as well as graduate
students, in the area of partial differential equations. Graduate students and young Ph.d.’s had the
opportunity to present their work to a community of experts in the poster session.
The program of the meeting offered current and relevant topics in partial differential equations and also
the general direction in which some themes are developing or changing. The excellent physical structure
of Mareiro Hotel provided a pleasant environment for the exchange of scientific experiences among the
participants.
The meeting received 57 mathematicians, 29 of them working outside Brazil. Among the accomplishments
of this workshop we would like to highlight:

• New research themes and scientific collaboration among the participants
• Dissemination of the research areas in partial differential equations carried out in Brazil
• Contribution to the development of the research on partial differential equations carried out in

Brazil.
