Workshop random spatial models from physics and biology

16 March - 19 March 2005 at Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin

The Dutch-German bilateral research group on mathematics of random spatial models from physics and biology (co-funded by DFG and NWO), consisting of the groups of A. Bovier, F. Götze, A. Greven, F. den Hollander and A. Wakolbinger, will be holding its spring workshop 2005 at WIAS, Berlin, with financial and logistic support from WIAS.

Thematic emphasis will be on stochastic models related to and inspired by biology. Topics include

The workshop aims to bring together specialists with expertise and interest in probability theory and theoretical biology, and to enhance discussion and interchange of ideas.
