The Ricci flow has played a decisive role in geometry and topology during the forty years since it was first introduced by Richard Hamilton. Other geometric flow equations have also led to impressive results, and all of these developments have co-evolved as interdependent parts of a thriving intellectual ecosystem. The workshop will bring established international experts in this vibrant area into contact with promising young researchers who are developing new approaches to the subject. The workshop will thus simultaneously celebrate the stunning past achievements of geometric flows, and provide a forum for the development of new ideas by a new generation of geometric analysts.
