The Symposium will be devoted to the various aspects of convexity of functions and sets and their particular cases and generalizations. Since (generalized) convexity of a function can, in most cases, be characterized by the (generalized) monotonicity of its
subdifferential, the Symposium also focuses on generalized monotonicity of maps. Besides the theory, also contributions on the numerous applications of generalized convexity and monotonicity in optimization and related fields are welcome.<br>
