The meeting will focus on various aspects of population dynamics and ecosystem functioning and is expected to explore the processes and mechanisms ranging from the micro-scale of individual movement to the macro-scale of populations and communities, with applications to metapopulations, regional dynamics and geographical invasions. It is also expected to explore similarities between the modelling techniques traditionally applied in ecology and those used in other life sciences with the purpose to enhance interdisciplinary approaches and to stimulate further advances in mathematical ecology and population dynamics.


The scope of the conference is outlined by (although not necessarily restricted to) the following topics:

* population dynamics and ecological complexity                       
* biological invasions and spread of epidemics                               
* behavioral ecology                                                                 
* collective dynamics                                                                
* individual animal movement
* ecological pattern formation
* evolutionary dynamics
* epidemiology and ecoepidemiology
