If you are planning to come to the meeting, it is helpful to let me know so that I can plan for the right numbers (Rebecca Hoyle, r dot hoyle at surrey dot ac dot uk). The review talks are especially suitable for postdocs and PhD students, who are warmly encouraged to attend. A limited amount of funding is available for the reimbursement of travel expenses. Please circulate this announcement to anyone who might be interested in attending.

Updates to the programme will be posted here as they become available. Talks will be held in room 24AA04 and refreshments will be served in the Mathematics common room on AA04. Directions to the department can be found here. We are on the top floor of the AA building, which is marked on the campus map. If you need a parking permit, please email me.

The PANDA network is organised by Rebecca Hoyle (Surrey), Jon Dawes (Bath), Paul Matthews (Nottingham) and Alastair Rucklidge (Leeds), and is supported by a London Mathematical Society Scheme 3 grant, for which we are grateful.
