Similarly to the previous editions, the goal is to gather together researchers interested in membrane computing (theory and applications), for exchanging ideas, problems, solutions, for working together, in a friendly framework. Short and provocative presentations will be scheduled in the first half of the first days, then the time will be mainly devoted to joint work. Those interested in having presentations should inform the organizers some days before the meeting. Of course, open problems, draft solutions, and any kind of ideas to be debated during the meeting can be circulated through the Milano web page - and both participants and non-participants are kindly invited to do this.
