Lecturer:

Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil) �€“ Introduction to Population Biology

1)single species dynamics

3)interacting species II: predator-prey dynamics

4)models in epidemiology

5)spatial population dynamics

Description:

This school is aimed at graduate students in Physics, Mathematics, Ecology and Epidemiology, having at least a basic knowledge of calculus and differential equations. Lectures cover the basics of population dynamics and are supplemented with modelling exercises addressing mainly problems in ecology, epidemiology and evolution. Undergraduate students with exceptional records are also encouraged to apply. Limited funds are available for travel and local expenses. There is no registration fee.

This activity will be followed by the �€˜School on Physics Applications in Biology�€™. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools.

Please note that acceptance cannot be taken for granted, as we expect a much higher number of applications than the maximum number of participants. We advise the candidates to carefully complete the application form, providing enough information for the selection committee to take a decision.
