Long based in western France, particularly in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, the PDE Days now tour the whole of France and are passing through the Alps for a few years.
Every year since the 70s, a mini-course and a dozen research presentations are given by colleagues, French and international, young and experienced. This traditional meeting plays a central role in structuring the French EDP community: one of its main goals is to facilitate meetings and discussions between researchers in the community by encouraging the mixing of generations and themes.
A particular effort is made to finance the stay of the youngest colleagues.
