Welcome to Equadiff 2026, the latest in a series of biennial European conferences on differential equations and their applications.

The tradition of the Czechoslovak Equadiff dates back to 1962 when Equadiff 1, organized by, among others, Ivo Babuška and Jaroslav Kurzweil, took place in Prague. Subsequent Czechoslovak Equadiff conferences rotated between Bratislava, Brno, and Prague every four years except for a few irregularities, the last caused by the COVID pandemic. The Western Equadiff conferences originated in Marseille (France) in 1970 and have been held in various European countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) since then. They also adopted a four-year period and, together with the Czechoslovak Equadiff, have formed a biennial series. The upcoming Equadiff in Prague in summer 2026 will be the 16^th conference within the Czechoslovak Equadiff series. This tradition makes Equadiff the oldest series of conferences on the topic, and we are proud to continue it.

The conference will be devoted to the fields of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, as well as numerical analysis and applications. These topics will be covered by plenary and invited lectures, minisymposia, contributed talks, and posters. To taste what the Equadiff conferences offer, please visit the websites of Equadiff 2024 in Karlstad, Equadiff 15 in Brno, or the Czech Digital Mathematics Library, where all the Czechoslovak Equadiff proceedings are freely available.
