From September 3 to 5, 2025, the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) hosted the Bilbao–Barcelona Analysis and PDE Meeting, three days dedicated to strengthening the dialogue between two communities that have long shared an interest in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. Researchers from Barcelona and Bilbao came together with collaborators from other institutions to present new results, test ideas, and deepen existing collaborations.
The CRM played an active role throughout the meeting. Director Carme Cascante, together with Albert Mas from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and affiliated with the CRM, was part of the organizing committee. The programme of invited speakers also featured several researchers linked to the centre. From the Universitat de Barcelona, Marcel Guardia, Joaquim Ortega-Cerdà and Xavier Ros-Oton took part, while the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona was represented by Xavier Tolsa. At the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Gissell Estrada and Olli Saari, both affiliated with the CRM, contributed to the scientific sessions. The centre was further represented by Joaquim Duran, a CRM PhD student.
Both BCAM and CRM are part of the SOMMa alliance, which brings together research centres in Spain recognised with the Severo Ochoa and Maria de Maeztu distinctions. The meeting highlighted the strength of the Barcelona–Bilbao connection and showed how mathematics moves forward when ideas circulate freely and technical depth is shared in open discussion.
