| MCEB - 21-25 June 2015 Porquerolles Island South of France. Pre-registration deadline: February 10th Notification to applicants: February 28th Final list of attendees: April 1st Scope: Mathematical and computational tools and concepts form an essential basis for modern evolutionary studies. The goal of the MCEB conference (at its 7th edition) is to bring together scientists with diverse backgrounds to present recent advances and discuss open problems in the field of mathematical and computational evolutionary biology. The theme of this year’s edition will be new data, new questions, new methods. New generation sequencing techniques have multiplied not just the amount, but also the types of genetic data produced, giving rise to new questions, and new methodologies to answer them. These methodologies are often cross-disciplinary, with applications to diverse research topics. General concepts, models, methods and algorithms will also be presented and discussed, just as during the previous conference editions. Cost: Conference fees including accommodation for four nights, meals, coffee breaks, etc., will be between 300€ and 630€, all inclusive, and will vary depending on the room. PhD students and postdocs will benefit of the cheapest rooms.
