Summary: In March 2023 we hope to welcome you for a fully in-person research school on biomathematics in which world class lecturers present the latest modeling techniques that are used in studying biological phenomena. The techniques are presented at a theoretical level as well as in the context of applications. Tutorials and computer lab sessions will be used to familiarize the participants with relevant software and to give them hands-on experience.

The research school will be followed by an international conference in which the lecturers as well as many other international experts present their latest findings on modelling in the biological sciences. For more information on the conference, please click here.
