The past few decades have witnessed exciting developments in all areas of Mathematical Biology leading to very challenging computational questions related to the multiscale nature of the biological problems. To address these challenges, one requires innovative numerical methods at the cross-interface between atomistic-to-continuous, heterogeneous multiscale methods, and domain decomposition techniques that would facilitate efficient computational implementations. This workshop aims to bring together leading experts and young researchers in both Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Biology areas. The goal is to identify suitable numerical approaches that would be able to address the computational challenges arising in biological modelling. It is hoped that this will enhance the existing cross-fertilization between these two areas of mathematics and will bring about new ideas for the development of novel, fast, and potentially parallelizable numerical solvers, able to answer urgent questions in complex biological and medical problems.

This year, the topic will be numerical integration of evolution equations. The invited speakers are: - Tobias Jahnke (Karlsruher Institut fuer Technologie (KIT), Institut fur Angewandte und Numerische Mathematik) - Pauline Lafitte-Godillon (Laboratoire MAS - Ecole Centrale Paris, Departement de Mathematiques) The intention of the workshop is to provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and results in the development of numerical methods for evolution equations. The workshop covers both, theoretical and practical aspects, and wants to bring together numerical analysts working in the field as well as PhD students who intend to start in this area.
