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.
