The European Mathematical Society (EMS), jointly with the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB), has declared 2018 to be the Year of Mathematical Biology. The kick-off event of this year is organized by the Biomathematics Group of the University of Helsinki, as part of the Finnish Mathematical Days conference in Joensuu, Finland, 4-5 January 2018.

The conference will feature two plenary speakers of mathematical biology,

  • Odo Diekmann (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands)
  • Benoit Perthame (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France)

There will be a mathematical biology session throughout the conference, with speakers

  • Barbara Boldin (University of Primorska, Slovenia)
  • Jose A Carrillo (Imperial College London, UK)
  • Fabio Chalub (University of Lisbon, Portugal)
  • Stefan Geritz (University of Helsinki, Finland)
