Abstract: This network was focused on the training of young researchers (ESRs) in the general area of nonlinear hyperbolic and convection dominated PDEs (HCD-PDEs) with emphasis on innovative modelling and computational methods. The research program within this network was centered in a prominent (in terms of both history and importance) field, that is placed at the very forefront of modern Computational and Applied Mathematics. In fact, HCD-PDEs, is one of the few fields of applied mathematics where (1) models originate from the need to describe physical phenomena of great importance; (2) a plethora of highly influential analytical methods has been developed over the years to study these models; (3) pioneering and advanced computational methods were designed to approximate HCD-PDEs, particularly to approximate phenomena of interest such as shocks, phase transitions, propagating interfaces etc.
