Special Sessions:
   - Spectral properties of matrices
   - Matrix computations and numerical linear algebra
   - Matrix inequalities
   - Matrices and Graphs
   - Matrix polynomials
   - Positive and nonnegative matrices
   - Linear algebra in statistics
   - Stable matrices.

Two short courses delivered by experienced lectures for graduate students as well as other conference participants are planned (see Lectures).

There will be a special session in memoriam of our dearest colleague Glória Cravo:

The programme also will inclued nine invited Mini-Symposia and a poster presentation.
