Mathematical Biology on the Mediterranean Conference
International workshop, September 8-14
The workshop will be dedicated to talks on various advanced aspects of mathematical biology, that may have been introduced or not in the Summer school during the previous week, September 1-7. All themes of mathematical biology, including mathematical ecology and evolutionary theory, are eligible for presentations. All aspects of mathematical modelling of biological, ecological and medical questions, model analysis, simulation and control when relevant, are welcome.Sessions will be programmed every day from Monday 9 to Saturday 14 (only in the morning for Saturday 14) except Wednesday 10, that will be dedicated to an excursion in the island, either to the archeological sites or (for those who would have visited them during the previous week) to hiking trails and beaches.
The number of participants to the workshop will be limited to 60 (see the Deadlines for registration and fees). PhD students up to a maximum number of 40, on a first-come first-served basis according to fund availability and on recommendation from their supervisors, are eligible to be totally waived of charges: no registration fees nor local expenses, i.e., accommodation and meals, for the workshop. Participation of PhD students coming from regional universities (i.e., of the neighbouring Mediterranean region, e.g., Greek, Turkish, etc.) is encouraged, but by no means exclusive. Support for travelling expenses may further be asked from supporting institutions such as EMS, SMB, ESMTB, or others.
Keynote speakers to the workshop are:
- Mats Gyllenberg, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
- Charalambos Makridakis, Institute for Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM), FORTH, Heraklion, Greece (on leave from the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK)
- Anna Marciniak-Czochra, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany
- Luigi Preziosi, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy
- Christian Schmeiser, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria
