On the occasion of the 60-th birthday of Prof. Guido Schneider the University of Stuttgart hosted a workshop on dynamical systems approaches towards nonlinear PDEs. The workshop, which took place from August 28 to August 30, attracted 60 researchers from all over the world. There were 17 specialized presentations highlighting the ongoing development and significance of dynamical systems techniques in current research. Additionally, the workshop served as an opportunity for early-career researchers to familiarize themselves with the field. Fifteen of them presented their own work in a poster session.
