• (Call for contributions to the) 6th CIRM conference « Stochastic Processes in Evolutionary Biology », Luminy (France), May 20-24, 2024

  • Start

    Marseille (France)

  Dear all,
  We are happy to announce that the 6th edition of the tri-annual conference on « Stochastic Processes in Evolutionary Biology » will take place May 20-24, 2024 in the south of France close to Marseille, at CIRM (Luminy), a unique location on the doorstep of the beautiful "calanques". The conference will be a lively place to interact for researchers working at the interface between probability theory and evolution.
  

  We are launching a call to researchers wishing to present their latest research on top of a dozen invited speakers (see list below).

  Successful applications may or may not present actual biological data, but must contain interesting mathematical results. A slight preference will be given to contributions from young researchers and/or with a focus on one of the following topics:
  

  • Adaptation to a changing world (including e.g. evolutionary rescue, experimental evolution and coevolutionary arms races)
  • Nested evolution (e.g. populations of individuals within diversifying species, pathogens proliferating within interacting hosts, transposable elements multiplying within a replicating genome...)
  • Dormancy (including seed-banks and bacterial evolution).

  Please send your proposal via the form
  https://framaforms.org/6th-cirm-conference-on-stochastic-processes-in-evolutionary-biology-luminy-france-may-20-24-2024

  Deadline: December 1st, 2023.

  In case your proposal is accepted (talk or poster), your accomodation at CIRM will be covered (but not your travel expenses).

  Don't hesitate to contact us should you have any question. Please disseminate this announcement to interested colleagues - apologies for multiple postings.

  Best wishes,
  Amaury Lambert

• Conference on Climate-inclusive Ecological Modelling (CIEM24)

  • Start
    27 May 2024
  • End
    29 May 2024
  • Location
    Centre for Mathematical Research, Bellaterra (Barcelona)

  In a rapidly changing world, understanding the intricate relationships between climate and ecosystems has become more critical than ever.

  The “Climate-Inclusive Ecosystem Modeling: Understanding the Dynamics of Ecosystems in a Changing World (CIEM-24)” conference seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and stakeholders to explore and discuss cutting-edge approaches in modeling ecosystems, taking into account the profound influence of climate factors. The conference aims to address a wide range of topics, including theoretical ecology, ordinary and partial differential equations, autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, multi-scale modelling, stochastic systems, among others, providing a comprehensive understanding of how climate change affects ecosystems and how ecosystem modeling can be enhanced to incorporate these effects.

  Dear all,

  The 3rd BioInference conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on 5th-7th June 2024.

  Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations.

  If you would like to attend the event in-person, please sign up by the 26th May 2024 (tickets limited and on a first come first served basis) at
  https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/bioinference2024/registration/

  Note that the registration is considered complete and successful only after having paid the £70 registration fee (covering all coffee breaks, lunch breaks, wine and food reception on the 6th June 2024).

  The conference will consist of contributed talks and poster sessions, with more than 20 poster presentations. The programme and the full list of contributed talks, poster presentations and the two day schedule can be found at
  https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/bioinference2024/programme/
  with the book of abstract available here.

  A list of confirmed talks includes:
  * Hannah Bensoussane (University of Warwick) - Bayesian individual-level infectious disease modelling: heterogeneous transmission and dealing with costly likelihood evaluation when estimating missing data
  * Alex Browning (University of Oxford) - "Little data" in mathematical oncology
  * Helena Coggan (University College London) - An agent-based modelling framework to study cell plasticity in non-small cell lung cancer

• Research Students Conference in Population Genomics

  • Start
    26 Jun 2024
  • End
    28 Jun 2024
  • Location
    Edinburgh

  The field of population genomics is one of the fastest growing areas of interdisciplinary research. It is the culmination of the developing relationship between big data, mathematics and biological understanding.

  The Research Students' Conference in Population Genomics 2024 intends to address every facet of this emerging field through interdisciplinary collaboration. There is much recognition that the field of population genomics is multidisciplinary, and that many research groups are sparsely distributed.

  The organisers aim to bring research students working in a range of genomic and health related fields together for a three-day conference which will look at the themes: evolutionary networks, causal effect estimation and pathogen genetics.

  The conference will be a formal and structured setting for postgraduate researchers, in which research can be discussed without the pressure of large number of late-stage career researchers being present.

  For more information, abstract submission and sign-ups please see: https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/school-of-mathematics/events/conferences/population-genomics-2024
