The conference will be held in memory of Stephan Ruscheweyh, who initiated the series of CMFT conferences and has been the driving force behind all the previous conferences. He was also one of the founding editors of the CMFT Journal. Stephan Ruscheweyh devoted his life to encouraging mathematics research and collaboration internationally. The organisers are honored to contribute to the continuation of his work. The general theme of the meeting concerns various aspects of interaction of complex variables and scientific computation, including related topics from function theory, holomorphic function spaces, approximation theory and numerical analysis. Another important aspect of the CMFT meetings, previously held in Valparaíso 1989, Penang 1994, Nicosia 1997, Aveiro 2001, Joensuu 2005, Ankara 2009, Shantou 2013, and Lublin 2017, is to promote the creation and maintenance of contacts with scientists from diverse cultures.
