Summer School on Nonlinear Dynamics in Biological Networks

Date:

17 May 2010 to 28 May 2010

Location:

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Between May 17th and 28th 2010, the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM) in collaboration with the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI), will host a joint summer school under the theme "Nonlinear Dynamics in Biological Networks".  Summer School 2010 aims to prepare students to satisfy the increasing demand in academia, government, and industry for people with cross-disciplinary training who, with various degrees of competence, can speak the languages of the mathematical, physical and biological sciences.

Students and postdoctoral fellows who register for the session, which lasts for a duration of 2 weeks, will have the opportunity to benefit from the instruction of international experts in the field of mathematical modeling, nonlinear dynamics and biological networks.  They will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills through the various lab activities that have been scheduled, and also through the presentation of students' projects which by all measures, will be the highlight of CAMBAM-MBI Summer School 2010 activities.

DEADLINE DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS IS MARCH 1, 2010
There is no tuition fee and the Summer School organizers have committed to cover accommodation costs for participants who opt to stay in the McGill Residence for the two weeks. However, students are expected to cover the full cost of their travel to and from Montreal as well as their upkeep during the two weeks. In addition, persons who have been selected to participate in the Summer School will be expected to pay a registration fee. After receipt of notification of participation from the Summer School organizers, students will have up to March 15th, 2010 to pay the $150 registration fee. Thereafter and up to April 15th, students will have to pay $200.
