Subject: Conference on mathematical biology & evolution
From: "Petrovskiy, Dr S." <sp237@leicester.ac.uk>
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 22:03:24 +0000
An international conference
"Mathematical Models of Collective Dynamics in Biology and Evolution" - MDBE'09
Univeristy of Leicester (UK), May 11-13, 2009
Organiser: Sergei Petrovskii
Scientific Advisory Committee (in alphabetic order):
Alexander Gorban (Leicester, UK)
Michel Langlais (Bordeaux, France)
Philip Maini (Oxford, UK)
Horst Malchow (Osnabrueck, Germany)
Jonathan Sherratt (Edinburgh, UK)
Nanako Shigesada (Kyoto, Japan)
Vitaly Volpert (Lyon, France)
Honorary Lecture: David Rand (Warwick, UK)
Confirmed plenary speakers:
Faina Berezovskaya (Washington DC, USA)
Daniel Grunbaum (Seattle, USA)
Alan Hastings (Davis, USA)
Georgy Karev (NIH, USA)
John King (Nottingham, UK)
Anatoly Neishtadt (Loughborough, UK)
Ezio Venturino (Turin, Italy)
Sponsored by the London Mathematical Society and the University of
Leicester
The scope of the conference is outlined by (although not necessarily
restricted to) the following topics:
* ecology and epidemiology
* interface between ecology and evolution
* pattern formation and morphogenesis
* collective cells dynamics and applications to tumour growth
The talks are expected to be mostly grouped around these subject
areas. However, we will be ready and willing to consider any
submission of a potentially high scientific merit which does not
exactly fall into the list above.
In order to encourage a wide participation of PhD students as well as
early career researchers, there will be a poster session organised
during the conference. For UK research PhD students, partial financial
support is possible to contribute to the travel or accommodation
expenses.
To register, please send a message to sp237@le.ac.uk (Sergei
Petrovskii) with a title and a brief abstract of your presentation
(one page at most, in a camera-ready format, either pdf or Word),
clearly indicating whether it is intended to be a talk or a poster.
Also, in case there is more than one author, please indicate it very
clearly who is actually going to present the work.
The registration and abstract submission deadline is March 1, and the
decision of acceptance will be made by March 15, 2009.
There will be a small registration fee of 50 GBP to be paid in cash
upon arrival.

conference web site:

Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the following spring school
that aims to bring together students and younger researchers in the
fields of analysis, numerical analysis and stochastic analysis of
partial differential equations.
Spring School
Analytical and Numerical Aspects of Evolution Equations
March 30 - April 3, 2009 at TU Berlin
Organised by: Etienne Emmrich and Petra Wittbold
Lectures:
* Eduard Feireisl (Prague)
Singular limits in thermodynamics of viscous fluids
* Stig Larsson (Goteborg)
Numerical solution of stochastic partial differential equations driven
by noise
* Mechthild Thalhammer (Innsbruck)
Time-splitting spectral methods for nonlinear Schrodinger equations
* Julien Vovelle (Lyon)
Stochastic perturbation of scalar conservation laws
Participants may present their results in short communications or in a
poster session.
