Promoting Scientific Activities

Scientific events organisation

Member of the organizing committees

The team has co-organized with UMR Eco& Sols a one-week Research School on resources-consumers models, in September 2015 (see https://team.inria.fr/modemic/fr/francais-ecole-chercheur-modeles-ressources-consommateurs/ ). The objectives of the school were

• filling the gap between lectures on dynamical population models given in theoretical ecology and the ones given in bioprocess or biochemical engineering,

• gathering biologists from different application fields (food fermentation, farming, marine ecosystems...) and mathematicians, about models that couple biotic and abiotic compartments.

Another similar school is scheduled in 2016, and we plan to propose later a methodological network on this subject.
