Sárka Necasová was born in 1965. She studied mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Charles University, Prague), graduated in 1988, and obtained her Ph.D. in 1991 (at the Czech Technical University in Prague). She defended her habilitation thesis at the University of Pau (France) in 2010, and she also achieved the Doctor of Sciences degree at the Czech Academy of Sciences in 2013. She worked as an assistant professor at the Czech Technical University in Prague in 1991-1995. In 1995, she became a researcher at the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. She has been the head of the Department of Evolution Differential Equations since 2010. She obtained the following awards: the Wichterle prize (the prize of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic for young researchers) in 2003; member of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic (since 2018, head of the section Mathematics and Physics 2020-2024, now the scientific secretary); and Praemium Academiae (awarded by the Czech Academy of Sciences) in 2021. She gave mini-courses at Zagreb (2017), Tata Institute Bangalore (2017), University of Wuerzburg (2018), and University of Nanjing (2020). Her main fields of interest are the mathematical analysis of models of fluids, partial differential equations, and qualitative theory.

Stanislav Kracmar was born in 1955. He obtained his master degree at Kharkov University, Kharkov, Ukraine, in 1980. Then he received the title RNDr. (MSc. equivalent) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague in 1982. He defended his Ph.D. thesis at the Czech Technical University in 1991 and his habilitation in 2001. He is currently Associate Professor at the Czech Technical University. His main fields of interest are mathematical modeling in mechanics of fluids, partial differential equations, and qualitative theory.

Jirí Neustupa was born in 1949. He defended his master degree in 1972 and his Ph.D. degree in 1977, both at the Charles University in Prague. He defended his habilitation in 1982. He became Full Professor in 1999. He worked at the Czech Technical University from 1977 to 2005. In 2005, he moved to the Mathematical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. He gave mini-courses on the theory of the Navier-Stokes equations at the Petroleum Institute Abu Dhabi (2010, 2011), Banach Center Warsaw (2012), Waseda University Tokyo (2012), Tata Institute Bangalore (2014), and Yonsei University Seoul (2019). His main fields of interest are mathematical modeling in mechanics of fluids, partial differential equations, and qualitative theory.

Patrick Penel was born in 1948. He studied mathematics at the University of Paris-XI-Orsay, graduating in 1969. He defended his Ph.D. thesis in 1972 and his State Doctorate ès Science in 1975, both at Paris-XI-Orsay. He was appointed an assistant in Paris XIII (1969), he worked as an assistant professor in 1972-1974. He became Full Professor at the University of Toulon and Var in 1976 and stayed at this position until 2010. After having been appointed Emeritus Professor twice, he is now retired and honorary. His main fields of interest are mathematical fluid mechanics, partial differential equations, and their qualitative theory. He was a responsible manager for international university co-operations (Antananarivo-Madagascar 1980-1993, Prague-Czech Republic 1990-2017), and co-organizer of a series of international conferences in CIRM, Marseille-Luminy (2008, 2011, 2014, 2017). Furthermore, he has been Academician of Var since 2015, elected to Chair No. 15.
