This hybrid workshop will bring together leading experts in various theoretical and applied aspects of nonlinear waves in both discrete and continuum systems. It aims to promote and enhance unifying techniques, exchange and explore ideas, establish new connections, and foster cross-fertilization among different fields of application. The workshop will consist of twelve 50-minute lectures on new research results on a wide range of topics of current interest in nonlinear waves and related phenomena. Some of the lectures will be presented online.
