With these proceedings, we wish to establish a tradition of publishing conference papers in electronic form. The topics of qualitative analysis of dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, and global analysis have gained much interest among mathematicians and are very important for the understanding of the phenomena observed in nonlinear systems. But just applications show that many basic problems still have to be solved. The aim of the 3rd {ENOC} is to discuss the new mathematical developments in the theory of nonlinear oscillations and their application in technology and scientific disciplines like mechanics, physics, chemistry, electrodynamics, and biology. The current contributions from the various fields will underline the interdisciplinary, synergetic character of nonlinear dynamics." }
