The Third Shanghai International Symposium on Nonlinear Sciences and Applications (Shanghai NSA'07) and the International Workshop on Nonlinear Brain Dynamics (IWNBD'07) will be jointly held in Shanghai and Hangzhou (a beautiful resort near Shanghai) on June 6-10, 2007.

Shanghai NSA'07 is sponsored by the Shanghai Society for Nonlinear Sciences, co-sponsored by the Shanghai Center for Nonlinear Sciences, organized by the Research Center for Nonlinear Sciences of Fudan University and the Shanghai Society of Biophysics, and supported by the National Science Foundation of China, Center for Chaos and Complex Networks of City University of Hong Kong, and Electronic Computing Technical Center of Shanghai Railway Administration.

Nonlinear science is one of the focusing research fields and most active scientific frontier in the new century, and Shanghai NSA'07 is devoted to this important area of scientific research. The theme of the symposium is intended to be broad enough so as to cover most of the directions in nonlinear science, with the aim of promoting wide interactions among researchers from different academic disciplines who are interested in nonlinear science and related technologies. The symposium will provide both experts and new comers from different research backgrounds with an excellent opportunity to review the latest progress and development in the field of nonlinear science, and to exchange their experience, progress, and ideas. The symposium will consist of both oral and poster presentations in four days (two days in Shanghai and two days in Hangzhou, including one-day tour of the beautiful resort city Hangzhou).

A few renowned leading scientists in the field of nonlinear science will be giving keynote speeches in the symposium.

Mathematical and physical theories, physical and chemical experiments, engineering design, biological studies, and their various applications are included in the main program of the symposium. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
