In a recent joint work with Herbert Koch (University of Bonn) we showed the existence of a global unique and analytic solution for the mean curvature flow (in arbitrary codimensions) and the Willmore flow of entire graphs for Lipschitz initial data with small Lipschitz norm. In this talk I will explain our construction and, if time permits, I will show how similar constructions can be used to obtain the existence of a global unique and analytic solution of the Ricci-DeTurck flow on euclidean space for bounded initial metrics which are close to the euclidean metric in $L^\infty$ and of the harmonic map flow for initial maps whose image is contained in a small geodesic ball.
