This book collects original peer-reviewed contributions to the conferences organised by the international research network “Minimal surfaces: Integrable Systems and Visualization” financed by the Leverhulme Trust. The conferences took place in Cork, Granada, Munich and Leicester between 2016 and 2019. Within the theme of the network, the presented articles cover a broad range of topics and explore exciting links between problems related to the mean curvature of surfaces in homogeneous 3-manifolds, like minimal surfaces, CMC surfaces and mean curvature flows, integrable systems and visualisation. Combining research and overview articles by prominent international researchers, the book offers a valuable resource for both researchers and students who are interested in this research area.
