Dynamics, Games and Science

The international conference will have around 10 keynote speakers and 20 thematic sessions with an approximated total of 100 speakers. The keynote speakers are top researchers in mathematics and science whose discoveries had a great impact in the progress of science. All the speakers will be top researchers, including promising young researchers, who already have major contributions in their fields of knowledge. Each thematic session will have an organizer and 2-4 speakers that can include the organizer. The thematic sessions will occur during the international conference and the corresponding advanced school.
