The complexity of biology makes it hard to distinguish correlation from causation. In addition, the explosion of biological data and AI tools has led some to question the need for identifying causal relationships to achieve predictive power and make practical progress in biology. This symposium will focus on causal inference from different kinds of biological data and mathematical approaches, including the extent to which machine learning and AI tools can reveal causal relationships. 

Registration closes the 25th of September.

Dear colleagues,

We would like to announce the third edition of the workshop on "Modelling Diffusive Systems: Theory and Applications" (MoDiS), which will take place at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute (ESI) in Vienna during the week 26-30 January 2026.

The list of speakers and the preliminary schedule are both available on the workshop website (https://sites.google.com/view/modis2026/home-page). 

There is a limited number of spots for additional participants - priority will be given to early-career researchers who are also encouraged to present a poster. 

In order to apply, please fill out the registration form (available at https://sites.google.com/view/modis2026/registration) by September 15.

We look forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Best,

Angelika (Manhart), Annalisa (Iuorio), Cinzia (Soresina), and Valeria (Giunta)

The meeting continues the annual conference series (MPDE/MPDEE) which started in 2007. It will consider applications of mathematical modelling to explore processes and mechanisms in various biological systems ranging from a cell to the human society. A special focus will be on the interplay between ecology and evolution across time and space, in particular under the effect of climate change. 

MPDEE’26 is also expected to explore similarities between modelling techniques traditionally applied in ecology and evolution and those used in other life sciences with the purpose to enhance interdisciplinary approaches and to stimulate further advances in population dynamics, ecology and evolution.
