This is the fourth school of a biennial series of international summer schools on mathematical ecology and evolution in Finland,
organised by the Biomathematics Group of the University of Helsinki. This edition of the school focuses on infectious diseases.
The series of The Helsinki Summer School on Mathematical Ecology and Evolution is part of the EMS-ESMTB School in Applied Mathematics. Topics and lecturers
* Odo Diekmann (University of Utrecht): Population dynamics of infectious diseases Time and place The school will be held between 17 and 24 August 2014 at the Linnasmäki Congress Centre in Turku, Finland. Arrival and departure on Sundays,
full program on Monday-Saturday. The town of Turku is the oldest town of Finland with beautiful surroundings and easy access with direct flights from Stockholm, Helsinki
and Copenhagen, plus train from Helsinki in each hour and buses every half an hour (direct bus connection also to the Helsinki Airport).
Finances We provide full board and lodging in double rooms during the school (17 August dinner - 24 August breakfast) plus a Reader to all
accepted participants free of charge, on condition of participation in the full program. Participants need to cover their own travel costs. The School is financially supported by the Finnish Doctoral Programme FICS and by the Academy of Finland via the
Finnish Centre of Excellence in Analysis and Dynamics Research. Program The school will be a week of high-speed, concentrated effort where most of the time is allocated to lectures. Group discussions of
working papers and round-table discussions will foster informal interactions between students and lecturers. At the beginning of the school,
all students will introduce themselves briefly to help people of similar interests to find one another and engage in informal discussions. Credits The school awards 8 ECTS credits upon examination by take-home essays submitted electronically and evaluated by the lecturers after the school. Organizers The School is organised under the auspices of the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Analysis and Dynamics Research by members of the
Biomathematics Group of the University of Helsinki (email addresses: firstname.lastname [funny character] helsinki.fi). Director: Mats Gyllenberg Application All PhD students and young researchers working in mathematical epidemiology, ecology or evolution can apply from all countries, especially from Europe and
the Mediterranean. The school is aimed at PhD students of mathematics with interest in ecology, evolution, and epidemiology. We also welcome students of
biology with sufficient background in mathematics, advanced undergraduates, and postdocs. Application is by email to elina.numminen [funny character] helsinki.fi. The application should contain Previous schools in the same series |
