The Summer school will propose, from Sunday September 1 (arrival and registration in the afternoon) until Saturday September 7 (ending by noon) 5 lectures of 4 to 5 hours each, on different aspects of mathematical biology, given by 5 lecturers specialists of their fields:
Jose Antonio Carrillo de la Plata, Imperial College London, London, UK: Attractive-repulsive mathematical models in collective motion
Benoit Perthame, Sorbonne Universite, Paris France: Models of adaptive dynamics in mathematical biology and their analysis
Nikolaos Sfakianakis, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, UK: Mathematical problems in evolutionary theory and associated numerical questions
James Sneyd, University of Auckland, New Zealand: Topics in mathematical physiology (To be confirmed)
Nicolas Vauchelet, Universite Paris 13, Villetaneuse, France: Control of vector-borne diseases and their epidemics
The number of participants to the school will be limited to 60, on a basis of first come, first served (see the Deadlines for registration and fees). PhD students in mathematics, up to a limit number of 40, are eligible to be totally waived of charges, on recommendation of their supervisors: no registration fees nor local expenses, i.e., accommodation or meals, for the school (as for the workshop). Participation of PhD students coming from nearby (in particular Greek and Turkish) universities is encouraged. Support for travelling expenses may further be asked from supporting institutions such as EMS, SMB, ESMTB, or others.
The school lectures will be given during the days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday (morning only for Saturday). Wednesday until 5 p.m. will be reserved for a visit to the archeological sites of the island.
After the lectures, before and after dinner time, work sessions will be dedicated to exchanges and research talks on specialised topics by PhD students and other mathematicians.

The 14th User Training Workshop: Developing Multi-Scale, Virtual-Tissue Simulations with CompuCell3D, will take place in the USA (Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA) between August 11th and August 17th, 2019.
AUDIENCE:
Mathematical Biologists, Computational Biologists, Experimental Biologists, Medical Scientists and Biophysicists, from advanced undergraduates to senior faculty, with a current or potential interest in modeling biological development, developmental disease like cancer, tissue-level toxicology or any biomedical problems in which (multi)cellular tissue structure, behaviors and (re)organisation play a key role. No specific programming or mathematical experience is required, though familiarity with a modeling environment (e.g., Mathematica, Maple, Python, or Matlab) and how to represent basic concepts like diffusion and chemical reactions mathematically, will be helpful.
AIM AND FOCUS:
Mechanistic modeling is an integral part of contemporary bioscience, used for hypothesis generation and testing, experiment design and interpretation and the design of therapeutic interventions. The CompuCell3D modeling environment allow researchers with modest programing experience to rapidly build and execute complex Virtual Tissue simulations of development, homeostasis, toxicity and disease in tissues, organs and organisms, covering sub-cellular, multi-cell and continuum tissue scales. Virtual-Tissue simulations developed using CompuCell3D run on Windows, Mac and Linux. CompuCell3D is open source, allowing users to extend, improve, validate, modify and share the core software. By the end of this one-week course, participants will have implemented a basic simulation of their particular biological problem of interest. Post-course support and collaboration will be available to continue simulation development.
SCHOOL OVERVIEW:
The workshop is structured as a 7-day summer school from Sunday August 11th through Saturday August 17th (approx 9AM-6PM each day), The workshop will include a limited number of lectures and numerous hands-on computer tutorials. Each attendee will also present a mini-talk on their problem of interest. There will be concurrent sessions for basic and advanced modelers.
Note:
An Introductory Python Tutorial will take place on August 11th. If you already know Python, you may skip this part of the workshop or take this material as a review
PROVISIONAL PROGRAM:
Python scripting.
Introduction to Reaction-Kinetics (RK) models.
Introduction to SBML.
Introduction to Virtual-Tissue simulations.
Introduction to CompuCell3D.
Basics of model building.

SHORT DESCRIPTION:
The dynamics of many physical, chemical, biological, industrial, economic, and social systems is often described by nonlinear iterated maps and ordinary differential equations (autonomous or with delays). Bifurcations are qualitative changes in the dynamics under variation of control parameters. The analysis of bifurcations requires a combination of theory with efficient numerical techniques. This summer school aims at presenting the modern theory of bifurcations in two-parameter planar ordinary differential equations, and showing how its methods and results can be generalized to the analysis of iterated maps and ordinary differential equations with delays.
The target audience is Master students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and economics with good knowledge of ordinary differential equations and functional analysis. The program will include theoretical lectures and computer practicals with the latest software, i.e. MatCont and DDE-BIFTOOL, by experts from Utrecht University, University of Twente, and University of Hasselt.
Application deadline: 24 May 2019
