[DMANET] GreifOlution: 1st Greifswald Summer School on Mathematics of Evolution (directly at the Baltic Sea in Germany)

GreifOlution: Greifswald Summer School for PhD-students, PostDocs and advanced graduate students from 16/09/2018 to 22/09/2018 in Greifswald, Germany

As part of the "Year of Mathematical Biology" we proudly announce GreifOlution, the 1st Greifswald Summer School on Mathematics of Evolution (kindly funded by the DAAD, the German Academic Exchange Service).

The main focus of this summer school will be on mathematical models and methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees and networks, but upon request we might also include some sessions on other related topics, e.g. from population genetics.


So if you are a mathematician or computer scientist with a strong interest in biology or a biologist who aspires to a deeper understanding of mathematical or statistical methods and models, this summer school is what you need!


Greifswald University is one of the hotspots of mathematical phylogenetics and biomathematics in Germany - as the only German university which has been offering a biomathematics study program already for 20 years, the small town located directly at the Baltic Sea has attracted lots of renowned researchers over the years!

So why not benefit from the presence of all these experts? Come and spend a week in summer at the beautiful Baltic Sea and deepen your knowledge on mathematical phylogenetics!


This summer school aims at bridging the gap between mathematics and biology and providing both a broad introduction to various fields of biomathematics (e.g. biostatistics, bioinformatics and mathematical phylogenetics) as well as insights into state-of-the-art research.


We invite applications from PhD students, PostDocs and advanced graduate students of Mathematics, Computer Science or Biology (and related areas of study) who have a great interest in Biomathematics, in particular in Mathematical Phylogenetics.

The school is free of charge. There are also no costs for the social dinner, the excursions and lunch during the summer school, but participants must cover their own accomodation and travel expenses. Foreign participants, however, may be eligible for funding (see the below for the DAAD reglementation concerning foreign participants).

We would be pleased to welcome you in Greifswald in September 2018!

Kind regards,
