Highlights of the Year

Benoît Perthame was invited as plenary speaker for the International Congress of Mathematicians ICM 2014 (Seoul, http://www.icm2014.org ), that attracted more than 5000 participants. This is the first time that a mathematician working in mathematics applied to biology was invited at ICM, which is the most prestigious conference for mathematicians of all fields. This represents a consecration both for Benoît Perthame's work and for the MAMBA team, and more generally for the whole domain of mathematics applied to biology.

Marie Doumic was a plenary speaker at the ECMTB 2014 (Göteborg, http://ecmtb2014.org/ 600 participants).

Dirk Drasdo was invited speaker at the Systems Biology of Human Diseases conference (Harvard University, http://www.csb2.org/events/sbhd-2014 ).
