The EFEF Meetings
The European Finite Element Fair (EFEF) is an annual series of completely informal small workshops throughout Europe with equal initial conditions for each speaker. EFEF provides a platform for high-level discussions on current research on finite element approximation, in the broadest sense, of partial differential equations. Authors are encouraged to present *one* new idea rather than review a full research project. In this spirit, the communication of recent and new results, even not yet published, is very welcome. A few, but strict, rules apply to EFEF in order to distinguish it from existing workshops and mini-symposia in the field:
- Speakers at EFEF are volunteers from the audience. Provided they are present throughout the meeting, each participant is invited to talk.
- Based on the number of speakers the time available will be divided into slots for the talks. The order of the speakers will be determined through random choice, by drawing names out of a hat. Speakers cannot request a specific time to talk.
- Speakers should introduce themselves, the title, and the topic, and they are expected to leave sufficient time, within the allocated time slot, for discussion. Speakers have to prepare a talk that can be trimmed to various lengths (from seconds to 30 minutes). For a smooth meeting, the timetable will be strictly enforced.
- The Book: Starting from EFEF 2005, a book will be available (in the Oberwolfach tradition) to record new analytical and numerical results presented during EFEF. Results can be hand-written or typeset and glued into the book.
Location
EFEF2026 will take place at the Zografou Campus of the National Technical University of Athens.
Note on location: Please note that NTUA is spread over two campuses, the main Zografou Campus, where EFEF2026 will take place, and the historic Patission Complex in Athens city centre, next to the Archeological Museum of Athens, which is far from the EFEF venue.
