Progress on Difference Equations - PODE 2025 will be held at Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, Cartagena, Spain in the period 28th-30th May 2025.
This is the 14th International Conference which follows those held each year since 2007 on the same topics. After 2017, the workshop PODE alternates
each year with the European Conference on Iteration Theory - ECIT and therefore is being held every two years.
The conference in Cartagena aims to continue the tradition of previous PODE conferences. The first PODE conference took place at Laufen (Germany, 2007), and was followed by the meetings of Laufen (Germany, 2008), Bedlewo (Poland, 2009), Xanthi (Greece, 2010), Dublin (Ireland, 2011), Richmond (Virginia, USA, 2012), Bialystok (Poland, 2013), Izmir (Turkey, 2014), Covilhã (Portugal, 2015), Riga (Latvia, 2016), Urbino (Italy, 2017), Bragança (Portugal, 2019) and Milan (Italy, 2023).
PODE 2025 is held under the auspices of the International Society for Difference Equations, the Group of Dynamical Systems of Murcia,
the Department of Mathematics of the Universidad de Murcia and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics of Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena.
Cartagena is a small city located in the southeast of Spain, with an excellent natural harbour and a history of more than 2000 years. The conference attendees can enjoy not only the
interesting scientific program but also the warm weather, the typical Spanish gastronomy and the nice cultural life of the city.
The conference aims to be a forum for young and senior researchers to share their work and discuss the latest developments in the areas of difference equations, discrete dynamical systems, functional equations and their applications.
