The first two days (Saturday and Sunday, 25-26th November) will be reserved for tutorials and mini-courses addressed to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. This introduction will be followed by four days of plenary sessions with Keynote Speakers talks and technical sessions (oral and poster) with contributed papers. The BIOMAT International Symposia assemble together professionals from several scientific and technological formations, with a special interest in biological phenomena and the mathematical and Computational modelling of Biosystems. These conferences have a unique character at promoting the integrated participation of these professionals. Prospective participants should fulfil the requirements for inscription to be found at http://www.biomat.org. Abstracts submission should be done with a LaTeX or a Word templates available at http://www.biomat.org . The abstracts will be selected in a blind reviewing process by members of the Editorial Board of BIOMAT, which will invite you to submit your full contribution. This contribution will be reviewed as a regular paper of any indexed journal. Like in previous symposia, accepted papers will be published by an international publisher (http://www.biomat.org/biomat/index.html and http://www.worldscibooks.com/lifesci/6098.html). Also, for the first time of the BIOMAT Symposia, we are negotiating with an international publisher the publication of the tutorial lectures. If you have any queries about the BIOMAT 2006 Symposium, please do not hesitate to write us. Scientific Committee: http://www.biomat.org/biomat6/committee2006.html Rubem P.

The International Symposium on Modelling of Physiological Flows gathers researchers in various branches of applied mathematics, computational fluid dynamics, bioengineering and biomedicine, with a special focus on the mathematical modelling of bio-flows. Topics include flow in large arteries, biochemical transport and activation, multiscale models for the cardiovascular system, non-Newtonian blood rheology as well as Drug-eluting stents, Cerebral haemodynamics, Electrocardiology. The Symposium is co-sponsored by them HaeMOdel EU projet.

Each provides full fees and an annual maintenance grant of GBP 12,500, for three years starting in October 2006. They are open to students of any nationality. Two studentships are available in any area of mathematical science. One studentship is available specifically in the area of quantitative financial risk management, under the supervision of Prof A. McNeil. Interested applicants are advised to consult the website http://www.maxwell.ac.uk/erp_prize_studentships.html Best regards Gabriel Lord ------ Subject: PhD student positions at CWI, Amsterdam and U.
