Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology
Call for participation and posters
The series of winter schools is designed to introduce mathematical, computational biology and bioinformatics to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and others working in the fields of mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex systems analysis, and biological, chemical and medical sciences and engineering.
The talks will be given by lectures, many of whom are national and international authorities, selected for their ability to make their topic accessible to non-specialists, but at the same time exciting to those who already have some previous knowledge.
A session of posters will be held during the Winter School, as an opportunity for the students to show research results and ongoing projects. All proposals will be reviewed and acceptance will be based on quality and relevance. Prizes will be awarded for the best posters.
Important dates:
Poster proposal due: 30 May 2008
Early bird registration due: 20 June 2008
AMSI Workshop on Mathematical General Relativity
This 3-day long event will consist of invited lectures and contributed talks on mathematical and theoretical aspects of classical general relativity. The topics covered will reflect interests of the Australian GR community. This is likely to cover a broad range of exciting topics such as: computational (numerical and symbolic) relativity, singularity theorems, mass and energy definitions/theorems, classification of solutions, perturbation theory, gravitational collapse and applications of Ricci Flow and other geometric ideas to relativity.
Goals of the workshop are to:
Present recent mathematical and theoretical developments
Facilitate knowledge transfer and inspire the GR community
Promote the discipline

IWCSN'08
International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks 2008
The workshop aims to foster exchange and collaboration among researchers who work in the fields of complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, networks and coupled systems, and related applications. Invited lecturers will present reviews, tutorials as well as forecasts of future research trends in related fields. A poster area will be available for attendees to discuss their works. Abstracts and presentations will be made available to all attendees at the close of the workshop.
Pre-Workshop Course
On Wednesday 1st October a course on complex networks will be run as part of this workshop. The course will include 3 international experts in the field of complex networks and will include excellent coverage of current and future research trends in this area. Places for this course are limited so participants are encouraged to register early to avoid disappointment.

ESI Program on Number Theory and Physics
Program, March 1 – April 18, 2009.
- March 2–13: Instructional workshop
- March 15–20: Number theory and physics conference
- March 23 – Apr 6: Research in teams
- April 7–10: Workshop
- April 11–18: Research in teams
Recent research in mathematical physics has revealed profound connections between many subjects previously thought unrelated on the surface. The most mysterious connection at this time is perhaps to number theory. In recent years, we have witnessed, for instance, the appearances of automorphic forms (modular forms, quasimodular forms, bimodular forms, etc), motives, multi-\zeta functions and L-series, Galois representations, and the geometric Langlands program in string theory and perturbative quantum field theory.
The connections between all of these areas are still not well understood and this has led to a realization that the time is ripe to assess the implications for both number theory and physics of these apparent connections. There is a consensus from researchers working at the crossroads of number theory and physics that a longer program devoted to this topic is overdue. One of the principal aims of this ESI program is to bring together researchers from both sides, to make a serious attempt to overcome some conceptual barriers between experts and to expose the area to younger researchers. A synthesis of ideas from number theory and physics should prove to be extremely powerful. This program is aimed at enhancing the understanding of the interaction of these subjects amongst researchers from both sides.
Early career researchers are encouraged to apply for support.
