This is a very demanding school, with 5 courses of 20h each and a final exam. It can be a life changing experience for students, but also a frustrating one if students have a weak background and cannot pass the exams. This is why we need your help to solicit applications from the best students, specially from developing countries. This is particularly important this year, because we have anticipated the Spring College by two months (19 Feb - 16 March, the deadline for applications is Nov 30). Thanks, and best regards, Matteo Marsili Senior Research Scientist, Abdus Salam ICTP Strada Costiera 11, 34014 Trieste Ph: +390402240461, fax: +3904022407461, email: marsili@ictp.it ------ Subject: Workshop on Mathematical Modeling of the Cardiovascular System From: Christian Vergara Date: September 01, 2017 We announce the INdAM Workshop "Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of the Cardiovascular System" that will be held in Rome, Italy, on April 16-19, 2018 (the venue will be the "Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica" (INDAM), located at the Mathematics Department of the University of Rome).
