These systems are intrinsically dynamic, characterized by interdependence, nonlinearity and complexity. These featured can only be approached by a qualitative analysis, based on the study of invariant sets (equilibrium points, limit cycles and more complex attractors, together with the boundaries of their basins of attraction) which requires a trade-off between analytical, geometrical and numerical methods. Even if the early steps of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems have been in continuous time models, in economic and social modelling discrete time is often used, in order to describe event-driven (often decision-driven) evolving systems. In this three-days training school a basic introduction to the qualitative theory of dynamical systems will be given, both in continuous and discrete time, and some applications in economic and social problems, as well as some numerical tools, will be proposed. The lectures will be at an elementary level, only assuming a basic knowledge of calculus. However some indications and suggestions about more advanced topics will be given. The ideal candidates for the Training School are Ph.D. students, master students, post-doctoral fellows, and researchers in economics or sociology, interested in the analysis of dynamical systems with particular reference to new economic geography and regional growth applications.

In particular, computational neuroscients, neurophysiologists and neural engineers will have the opportunity to present their most recent results to a young audience, constituted mainly by PhD students, and to interact directly among them. The program ranges from nonlinear dynamical approaches to the understanding of neural computation to physiology, from the simulations of brain circuits to the development of engineering devices and platforms for neuromorphic computation. The speakers will be specifically advised to perform didactic presentations of their results in order to allow the active participation to the discussion of young PhD students from different disciplines as well as to researchers interested in the field of Computational Neuroscience. Specific poster sessions will be organized with the purpose on one side to allow the young participants to present their latest results and on the other side to increase the opportunity of networking among the participants and renowed experts of the discipline. This workshop represents the 10th of a series of tutorial workshops annually organized by the Italian Society of Chaos and Complexity (SICC) to explore the emergence of new research fields, where nonlinear dynamics and control theory can play a relevant role. These workshops have been traditionally devoted to an audience mainly constituted by PhD students or young researchers working in complex systems. A poster session will be running during all the event and aimed to let all the participants to present their recent results.

This year, a special focus will be on the interplay between ecology, epidemiology and evolution. MPDE'15 is also expected to address similarities between the modelling techniques traditionally applied in ecology and those used in other life sciences with the purpose to enhance interdisciplinary approaches and to stimulate further advances in mathematical ecology and population dynamics. The scope of the conference is outlined by (although not necessarily restricted to) the following topics: * population dynamics and ecological complexity * individual animal movement and dispersal * biological invasions and spread of epidemics * epidemiology and eco-epidemiology * evolutionary ecology and evolution * collective dynamics and ecological pattern formation The program will consist of plenary (invited) talks, mini-symposiums, contributed talks and a poster session. The talks are expected to be mostly grouped around the above 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 above list.
