The 2013 AARMS Mathematical Biology Workshop will bring researchers interested in mathematical biology to Atlantic Canada. The meeting will consist of 3-days of short research talks. Some partial funding is available to support the participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Participants from the USA seeking funding should see the relevant section below.

Registration

Registration is $50 (graduate students and postdocs exempt). Registration is now closed. If you wish to attend the workshop, you will need to please contact Amy Hurford.

Funding for US Participants

Since the 2013 AARMS Workshop on Mathematical Biology is one of the events in the pan-Canadian thematic year "Models and Methods in Ecology, Epidemiology and Public Health", junior workshop participants at US institutions can apply for travel support from a grant from the US National Science Foundation. To apply, please send a brief CV (2 pages maximum) and a statement of interest including estimated cost for travel and accommodation (1 page maximum) in a single file (pdf format) to Frithjof Lutscher (flutsche@uottawa.ca). Students and postdoctoral fellows should also arrange for one letter of support to be sent to the same address. All emails should have the subject line "NSF support for M2E2 - AARMS Math Bio Workshop". Review of applications begins two months prior to the event and continues as long as funds are available.

Maps

Campus Map - The conference is at 14. Arts and Administration. There aren't a lot of maps on campus, and few people will be around to ask for directions at 8am on a Saturday morning. If you find the Science and the Mathematics Buildings, then Arts and Admin is the other building in this quad.

Where to eat?

Here's a map. This map also shows the scenic walk from the workshop location to the banquet at the Fluvarium.
