On behalf of the International Program Committee we are pleased to inform you that the Ninth International Conference "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation" will be held during May 21 – 25, 2018, in the distinguished hotel of the Mediterranean Region, in Paradise-Bay Hotel, Malta. The main sponsor of the conference is The Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP, http://www.eurasianip.org/ ).

As with the previous eight IPMS conferences, the objective of this meeting is to be multidisciplinary and international, bringing together scientists working on various topics of inverse problems in diverse areas, such as mathematics, engineering, physics, geology, chemistry, biology, medicine, material science, nanotechnology, meteorology, finance, and many areas in the fields of biotechnology, genetics and ecology. The conference will provide a forum to discuss the latest scientific results on inverse problems and applications.

This conference will be held under the auspices of The Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP) and also the leading international journals "Inverse Problems", "Journal of Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems", "Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering". The main aim of the conference is to bring together all classical and new inverse problems areas from various international scientific schools and to discuss new challenges of inverse problems in current interdisciplinary sciences.

Social Program of the conference includes Welcome Cocktail (free), Banquet (free), half-day tour to the island of Gozo, full-day boat ride and full-day sity tour.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Malta.
