Summer School MMVW01 — Summer School on Mathematics of Movement

The aim of this summer school is to foster the development of a community of quantitative scientists who, while working on different application areas, share their knowledge and help address fundamental questions in the mathematics of movement. The goal is to identify common challenges and cross-fertilise concepts and techniques for modelling and analysing movement data in animal ecology and cell biology. With basic, as well as advanced, topics on the mathematics of movement the summer school welcomes early career researchers who that are new novice to the area but also those who that are already familiar with it. The first three days will be dedicated, respectively, to (i) Data Acquisition and Technology, (ii) Data Analysis, and (iii) Modelling, while the 4th and 5th days will be spent working in separate groups on specific dataset and modelling challenges. There will be sessions for early career presentations and poster sessions, as well as opportunities to hear about successful interdisciplinary collaborations and various activities to enable networking with the programme organisers and the many academic participants of the programme. There will also be a competition for the best poster.
