Conference Proposal: International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology: Education and Research

本提案为2013年10月11-14日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的第六届生物数学与生态学：教育与研究国际研讨会（BEER-2013）提供部分资金。研讨会将重点介绍数学生物学、生态学和生物统计学方面的最新重大科学和教育发展。本次会议将汇集来自生物学和数学科学的初级研究人员，以传播他们目前的工作，并与其他初级和高级研究人员和教育工作者建立联系，他们的综合专业知识涵盖了数学生物学的许多领域。会议的一个重要组成部分是扩大教育和鼓励年轻和代表性不足的与会者进行研究。会议的结果将涉及环境和公共卫生问题。此外，本次会议的成果将有助于建立与社会相关的最新生物数学课程。

This proposal is for partial funding for the Sixth International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology: Education and Research (BEER-2013) to be held in Arlington, Virginia on October 11-14, 2013. The symposium will highlight significant recent scientific and educational developments in mathematical biology, ecology, and biostatistics. This conference will bring together junior researchers from both the biological and the mathematical sciences to disseminate their current work and to network with other junior and senior researchers and educators whose combined expertise covers many areas in mathematical biology. An important component of the meeting is to broaden the education and stimulate the research of young and underrepresented participants. Results from the conference will address environmental and public health problems and questions. In addition, results from this conference will help in the establishment of a biomathematical curriculum that is current and relevant to society.
