The conference titled 15th Discussion Meeting in Harmonic Analysis was held at the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore from December 18th to December 21st, 2017. A total of 85 participants attended the conference of which 16 were from outside India. A series of 4 lectures were given by Professor Andrei Lerner (Bar-Ilan University, Israel) on Sparse bounds and sharp weighted inequalities. There were 24 other talks (of 35 minutes duration) mostly by young mathematicians from India. The talks covered a wide range of topics in harmonic analysis.

The conference Topology Ecuador provided a meeting point for over 60 topologists from Latin America, North America and around the world. The scope was broad, ranging from homotopy theory to noncommutative geometry, with the goal of establishing collaborations and boundary crossings both geographically and between areas of expertise. The conference created an inviting atmosphere for informal interactions going beyond sharing mathematical work. The talk “Diversity and Inclusivity in Mathematics” by Moira Chas initiated discussions about the mathematical community and raised awareness.

The third SDEA was dedicated to Centenary of Noether's Theorem. This conference intended to concentrate on most of the recent advances in the applications of Lie groups including a wide area of topics in interdisciplinary studies in theoretical and applied sciences. The aim was to bring together academicians and researches from all over the World.

The main concept of ICMAA 2016 was to work on the theme of a particular branch of Mathematics called Mathematical Analysis and its Applications. The main objective of the conference was to bring experts working on these problems from various academic Institutions in the world together so that they can interact with the young researchers working in India and to exchange the ideas. The conference acted as a platform to inculcate research interests among young minds on recent topics of research in Mathematical Analysis.
