  \noindent
  Starting this year, the former  Pont-\`a-Mousson meeting  will be
split into
  two conferences. The first one, devoted to more theoretical aspects,
will take
  place in Rolduc (Netherlands) from Monday June 18, to Friday June 22,
2001.
The
  second, with more emphasis on applications, will take place in Gaeta
(Italy)
  from Monday September 24, to Friday September 28. In Rolduc all the
 participants
  will be accommodated in the  historical buildings of the Abbey
located near
  Maastricht at the crossing of three borders. The Italian meeting will
take
place
  in the golf of Serapo, in front of the sea, at a 10 minutes walk of
the  old
  city of Gaeta between Rome and Naples. Both meetings can be attended
  separately.

 \smallskip
  Besides Elliptic and Parabolic issues the topics of the conference
  include Geometry, Free
  Boundary Problems, Fluid Mechanics, Evolution Problems in general,
Calculus of
  Variations, Homogenization, Control, Modeling and Numerical
Analysis...

  (*) organizers of thematic sessions
  \vskip4pt
  \noindent In addition to the main lectures parallel sessions of short
  communications
  will be organized. The deadline for submitting an abstract is April 1,

  2001. The division between theory and applications will not be
inforced, but
  a theoretical subject will certainly  have more audience in Rolduc,
and
  an applied one  more audience in Gaeta. \vskip 20pt
