International Conference on Mathematical Neuroscience (Digital)

Wilhelm Stannat (Technische Universität Berlin)

Due to the coronavirus situation, together with ESMTB and SMB Boards, we have decided to postpone the conference. This decision is not easy and we will all miss the meeting this year, but are looking forward to seeing you all in Heidelberg next year. Further details on ECMTB2021 will be announced soon.

Follow @ecmtb2020 on Twitter and @ecmtb2020 on Facebook for regular updates.

Workshop “*Stochastic Models and Experiments in Ecology and Biology*”

which will be held in *Venice, September 21-24, 2020*, at the European Center of Living Technology (ECLT). Further details can be found on the website 

https://liphlab.github.io/SMEEB2020/

The aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds (mathematics, biology, physics and computing) interested in microbial ecology and evolutionary biology (both theory and experiments).

We will discuss important and recent research topics in these areas as well as methods and ideas. Topics will include stochastic population dynamics, quantitative and systemic biology, community ecology of microbes, statistical mechanics models in ecology, evolution in microbial communities, biodiversity coexistence and species interactions. The style of the workshop will purposely be informal to encourage discussions.

Invited Speakers(*tbc):

Otto X. Cordero,

Eric Dykeman,

Daniel Fisher,

Nigel Goldenfeld*,

Susan Holmes*,

Terry Hwa,

Eleni Katifori,

David Nelson,

Derek Tittensor,

 The *call of abstracts for contributed talks will close on* *May 24,

2020* (EasyChair

submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smeeb2020 ).

Please* bring this announcement to the attention of anyone who may be interested, especially students and post-docs *who are not in this mailing list.

 There are 2 registration fee waivers for Ph.Ds / young Post-docs. Look in the website for all info.

The* attendance fee of the workshop will be 200 Euro*, which includes coffee breaks and workshop material. However,* owing to the current Covid-19 *epidemic, the payment is not open at the moment. Once the workshop will eventually be confirmed, we will open the payment link and contact those who have pre-registered or submitted an abstract for the final registration.
