The last decades have seen major advances in Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, leading to a deeper understanding of the complex long-term behaviour of time-dependent systems. Apart from the widespread application to real-world models, ergodic-theoretical methods play an increasingly important role in many other areas of mathematics, and there has been a fruitful interplay and exchange of ideas with disciplines like Probability Theory, Geometry, Topology, Number Theory and Spectral Theory and others. Yet, important challenges are still ahead and the field is entering another period of intense research activity.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together some of the leading experts in Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theoryin order to give an account on the past achievements and to trace out perspectives for the future development of the field. A particular focus will be on probabilistic, geometric and spectral theoretic methods in the analysis of chaotic systems, and on applications of Dynamical Systems in Mathematical Physics.
