The stay in Bonn is fully financed by HIM, so that successful candidates can apply for leave from their home institutions. We recommend stays of 4 months, but visits as short stays of a few weeks are possible, too.
Building on the successes of last year's inaugural Workshop in Mathematical and Computational Biology (WMCB 2021), Prof. Kathleen Lois Foster (Department of Biology, Ball State University http://www.comparativebiomechanics.com), Prof. Daisuke Kihara (Departments of Biology and Computer Science, Purdue University https://kiharalab.org), and I are very happy to announce the second edition of the Workshop in Mathematical and Computational Biology (WMCB 2022), which will take place online on June 9th-10th, 2022. Here is the website of the meeting: https://sites.google.com/view/wmcb2022
Some details are below.
Please, feel free to diffuse this information to anybody who might be interested!
Thanks a lot for your time and consideration and we hope to see you at the event!
All the best,
The WMCB 2022 Organizing Committee

Theme of the Workshop:
The 2nd Workshop in Mathematical and Computational Biology aims to bring together the diverse communities of researchers working on topics of importance to biology by means of mathematical and computational methods. This second edition of the workshop will concentrate on the fields of Neuroscience, Bioinformatics, Ecology, and Epidemiology. The themes will continue to rotate in the next editions of the workshop to cover multiple areas, but always keeping the computational and mathematical flavors that have been central to the editions thus far.

Virtual Rooms (Slack Chat and Gather "Bio" Town):
The virtual environments of the workshop will foster interactions among participants and will be the places to ask questions to speakers and connect with other attendees with common interests also outside the time of the talk. Walking around Gather "Bio" Town, you will find the Short Talks and Posters, and breakout tables where you can interact and share ideas. These virtual environments will be available closer to the conference.
Humankind, as well as life on Earth more generally are presently facing unprecedented challenges. Habitat fragmentation and biological invasions, exacerbated by the global climate change, result in elevated species extinction rates coupled with an accelerated loss of biodiversity and new threats posed by alien exotic species invasions of previously virgin territories, especially in the Earth temperate belts, with a huge impact on the entire system for food production. Indeed, human population growth brings the need of a more efficient and sustainable agriculture. The spread of insects from the tropical areas carrying viruses causing outbreaks of new or rare diseases poses another threat. Efficient, sustainable solutions to these problems can only be found though a rigorous scientific approach. There is an urgent need for ground-breaking ideas and better understanding in life sciences, ecology and environmental science. Direct communication and exchange of ideas between experts in relevant research fields is one way to facilitate it. An interdisciplinary forum where knowledge from these different fields can be exchanged would be a first step on the way of addressing these problems hovering over humanity. Precision agriculture requires tools that go beyond the purely biological/ecological settings and mathematical modelling, being widely recognized as a powerful research approach to problems arising in natural sciences, would provide such an instrument. MPDEE 2022 aims to contribute to this debate by bringing together leading researchers in theoretical and mathematical ecology, digital agriculture, evolutionary ecology, mathematical epidemiology and related fields.
Abstract & mini-symposium proposal submission is open, for details see https://sites.google.com/view/mpdee2022/contributions
The conference is planned to take place IN PERSON, although we may be able to accommodate online presentations as well.
