Iteration theory has its roots in the operation of substituting functions into itself. This has led to questions like that of the behaviour of functions by repeating this substitution and when the number of iterations tends to infinity. The terms ''orbit'' and ''chaos'' appropriately describe this behaviour. Dynamical systems and the theory of functional equations play important roles in this field.

The main theme of the ECIT conferences is Iteration Theory, on the borderline between Dynamics and Functional Equations. The aim is to foster symbiosis between mainstream dynamics and iteration theory treated in the style of functional equations theory. The following topics are focused: turbulence and iteration, characterization of chaos, kneading theory, symbolic dynamics, bifurcation, periods of maps, topological dynamics, discrete retarded dynamical systems, cellular automata as dynamical systems, iterative roots of formal power series, iterative roots of polynomials, phantom iterative roots, iterative groups and semigroups, families of commuting functions, algebraic aspects of iteration theory and functional equations.
