One-minute poster session: All participants were invited to present a poster concerning their research. Every presenter of a poster received a one-minute slot in the conference programme (in a plenary session) to attract the attention to his or her poster. See the PDF files the one-minute session.
The following posters were rated the best by a jury consisting of the keynote speakers under the leadingship of Kees Oosterlee:

1. Dirk Abbeloos (left) Multigrid methods for the control of time-periodic parabolic partial differential equations

2. Yves Frederix Multiscale solution of coarse Fokker-Planck equations

3. Stefan Güttel Extracting approximations to f (A)b from rational Krylov spaces

Support: The Conferences of the Dutch-Flemish Numerical Analysis Communities are held yearly, organised by the Werkgemeenschap Scientific Computing (WSC) and the Scientific Research Community (WOG) ''Numerical methods for mathematical modelling''. Support is provided by the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and Research Foundation Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen).
