Current approaches require a much closer link between physicists, chemists, computational scientists, on the one hand, and biologists/medical scientists, on the other, as well as the acquisition of a shared “language” and background. The aim of the school is to introduce young African researchers to the latest developments in the field of molecular biophysics, and to help forge links between theoretical and experimental communities, acting as a focus for the emerging biophysical sciences in Africa. The rapid development in the fields of biophysics, structural biology and nanotechnology has made available a new range of tools and approaches that have revolutionized biological and medical research, by allowing scientists to understand biology at the molecular level, manipulate nano-particles and macromolecular objects, and to monitor the behavior of single molecules. These developments are strongly connected to advances in computational biology and structural bioinformatics - ranging from structural biology to nanobiophysics, nanomedicine, single-molecule approaches - and with a revolutionary impact on biotechnology, pharmacology, drug delivery and early diagnostics of wide spread diseases.

Agrachev, SISSA, Trieste A. Bufetov, Marseille & Steklov Institute T. Grava, SISSA & Bristol A. Guionnet, ENS Lyon S. Kuksin, Paris & Shandong University Local Organizer: S. Luzzatto, ICTP, Trieste The topics to be discussed at the activity are at the forefront of current research in Random Matrix Theory, Point Processes, Dynamical Systems and Control Theory. One of the main goals of the School and Workshop is to bring this material to both established and young mathematicians from all developing countries. Mini courses will be given as well as more advanced reserach seminars. The activity will be organized as two thematic weeks on interrelated topics. Each week will consist of one or two mini courses and some seminar speakers. Week 1: Mixing and Control Mixing and control central topic is the study, with the help of the mathematical control theory, of ergodic and mixing properties of dynamical systems stochastically perturbed by a very degenerate noise. This concerns the systems governed by nonlinear PDEs and ODEs. We also plan to discuss mathematical aspects of the non-equilibrium statistical physics and some other topics. Week 2: Random Matrix Theory and Point Processes The second week will focus on point processes arising in the study of random matrices such as determinantal point processes. These point processes satisfy the Kolmogorov 0-1 Law and the Central Limit Theorem of Soshnikov, are rigid in the sense of Ghosh and Peres and obey an analogue of the De Finetti Theorem. Palm-Khintchine theory for our point processs will be emphasized, as well as the connection with the theory of integrable systems. Numerous open problems will be discussed, in particular, those related to pfaffian point processes.

Europe/Rome TEQ - Testing the Large scale Limit of Quantum Mechanics, is a EU H2020 FET project, which will explore the macroscopic limit of quantum theory, with the specific goal of answering the question: does quantum coherence survive when the mass/complexity of a system increases, or does it break down as predicted by alternative formulations? Assessing the boundaries of quantum theory is one of the most relevant problems in modern physics, with also a clear technological impact, as the scalability of future quantum technologies depends on the possibly unlimited validity of the quantum paradigm. Within the framework of TEQ, the workshop Redefining the foundations of physics in the quantum technology era will explore the state of the art – both theoretically and experimentally – of our understanding of quantum theory and discuss the new directions of research. Speakers will include leading senior experts in quantum mechanics as well as junior members of the TEQ consortium. Registration is mandatory and is open till 30 June 2019.

Europe/Rome Speaker's Biography Dr Gaia Donati joined Nature as an Associate Editor in 2017, and in this role she handles research papers in fields such as quantum information, plasma physics, particle and nuclear physics. She holds a PhD in experimental quantum optics from the University of Oxford, and completed her undergraduate studies in physics at Sapienza Università di Roma. On a freelance basis, she also worked as a science writer and fact-checker. Abstract of Talk In this talk I will present Nature and the Nature Research portfolio of journals to discuss how the scope, format and publishing model change from one title to another. Based on my experience as a manuscript editor, I will then focus on the peer review process at Nature and – from a more general standpoint – I will share some thoughts on how to publish a paper in a selective peer-reviewed journal in a way that feels like a fruitful experience instead of an obstacle course.

Europe/Rome Jean-Pierre Eckmann is professor of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, where he has spent his whole academic life. He works on many aspects of mathematical physics, such as ergodic theory of dynamicla systems, and head conduction. Abstract: Some people in the audience may be aware of Feigenbaum's astonishing discovery of the universality of period doubling, and the constant delta=4.66920 which carries his name. However, Mitchell Feigenbaum worked, in the last 13 years of his life, on other subjects, and wrote the manuscript (in TeX) of a book the title of which is: "Reflections on a Tube". This is closely related to his life-long interest in optics and aspects of vision. It deals with the optics of images reflected in a cylindrical mirror (usually called anamorphic pictures). He shows that the eye does not interpret ray-tracing, but caustics. But there are two caustics, and therefore, the viewer can actually see two different images in two different places. The visual system will often prefer one over the other. The question is the "which" and "why"? Starting from this discovery, Feigenbaum derived other aspects of this observation, dealing with the vision of fish, the "broken" pencil in water, or aspects of the floor of swimming pools. All these examples show two possible images. His study shows how a question in classical optics can lead to the interesting question in perception and the visual system. The colloquium is an open event and all are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Abstract: In this talk we will discuss some mixed Lp estimates obtained by Robert Strichartz in 1977 for a large class of dispersive PDEs, restricting our attention to the special case of the Schroedinger equation. Starting with simple facts about the Fourier transform, we will show how Harmonic Analysis can be applied in order to obtain a complete proof of these estimates. It is worth to mention that such estimates also have strong connections with the theory of restriction estimates for Fourier transform, and we could see the main result of this talk as the base for the companion talk of Mateus Sousa (about sharp restriction estimates for the Fourier transform).

The aim is to better understand and appreciate the wide range and full potential of glass science including technology tools, methods devoted to vitrification and properties of vitreous materials. Participants should return from the School with a richer understanding of vitrification as an immobilisation technology and the range of techniques available to investigate nuclear glasses and glass composite materials. This School will contribute to develop further international collaboration in the field of nuclear waste vitrification. Topics Fundamentals of nuclear waste immobilisation in vitreous materials and modelling of nuclear glass structures; Technological approaches of nuclear waste vitrification; Chemical durability of vitreous wasteforms and long term performance modelling; Interaction of vitreous wastes repository with geological environments and modelling of aging processes; Radiation damage effects in vitreous wasteforms (including modelling). **DEADLINE: 17/06/2019**

Europe/Rome Ergodic theory has its origins in the the work of L. Boltzmann on the kinetic theory of gases. The closely related field of dynamical systems has a much older origin, going back at least to Newtonian mechanics. Both subjects have since flourished into extremely active subjects with connections to many parts of mathematics and the physical sciences. Progress has been especially rapid in the last few years in differentiable dynamics and homogeneous dynamics. Differentiable dynamics studies flows on smooth manifolds and has links with geometry while homogeneous dynamics is the study of subgroup actions on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups and has connections to number theory. It is the aim of this two week workshop to ga ther top experts in these two subjects to deliver expositions on the state of the art in these subjects. The first week will be devoted to differentiable dynamics and the second week to homogeneous dynamics.

Europe/Rome Nanoscale components often exhibit memory, both quantum and classical. Resistors are no exception (already at the classical level) and the use of memristors for a variety of purposes is currently under scrutiny. Applications range from machine learning on chip to compact and passive memory devices using crossbar arrays. In this talk we discuss the nitty-gritty mathematical aspects of memristive circuits in the analog regime (no CMOS), their connection to the Ising model, and plausible future directions beyond crossbars.

Europe/Rome Abstract. Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally bound objects in the Universe. While most of their mass is Dark Matter, the primary component of their visible matter is hot X-ray gas. A significant fraction of clusters are still growing through the infall of groups of galaxies or through the mergers of clusters. These cluster mergers are the most energetic events in the present Universe, after the Big Bang, releasing energies up to 10^64 ergs. Cluster mergers leave distinct signatures on the intracluster medium in the form of shocked gas and diffuse radio sources, relics. Most of the gravitational energy released during the merger is converted into shocks and gas turbulence in the cluster gas. This talk will highlight Chandra X-ray and radio results on the HST Frontier Fields clusters MACSJ017.5+3745, MACSJ1149.6+2223, and A2744, which are undergoing major mergers. Recent results on the merger of the A3411 and A3412 clusters show strong evidence for the electron re-acceleration at the merger site. Finally this talk will highlight results from the HST RELICS (Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey) which has led to the detection of very high redshift (z~10) galaxies which are strongly lensed by foreground clusters.

Europe/Rome Abstract. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) play key roles in galaxy and cluster evolution. This is most clearly seen in the “fossil record” that is imprinted in the gas rich atmospheres of early type galaxies, groups, and clusters by powerful SMBH outbursts. I will discuss the outburst history of M87 as chronicled in its radio and X-ray images and the implications of these outbursts for heating gas rich environments. Based on a simple shock model of M87’s 12 Myr old outburst, I will present the properties of the outburst including its age, total energy, and duration. In addition to discussing the outburst around M87, I will review the results of a galaxy survey that shows the effects of SMBH feedback on early type galaxies and has interesting implications for the growth of SMBHs over cosmic time. I conclude by describing a future X-ray mission, Lynx, whose sub-arcsecond angular resolution would allow us to study the evolution of SMBHs and hot, X-ray emitting atmospheres from high redshifts to the present.

Seminar Start Time: 16:00

Europe/Rome Prof. Bo Persson obtained his PhD in theoretical physics from Chalmers Technical University 1980. His thesis advisor was Prof. Stig Lundqvist, one of the founders of condensed matter at ICTP. He is currently working at the Peter Gruenberg Institute of the Research Center Juelich, part of Germany’s Helmholtz Association. Besides several years as a visiting scientist at IBM research laboratories, in Yorktown Heights and in Zurich, he spent numerous periods as a visiting scientist in research laboratories in Israel, Japan, China, Italy, and elsewhere. After his initial research work in dynamical processes at surfaces, he turned around 1995 to theoretical tribology (friction, adhesion, contact mechanics). He has published more that 400 articles in international journals, and is the author of "Sliding Friction: Physical Principles and Applications" (Springer, first edition 1997) and co-author (with Prof. A. Volokitin) on "Electromagnetic Fluctuations at the Nanoscale: Theory and Applications" (Springer, 2017), besides the early book (with E. Tosatti) “Physics of Sliding Friction (Kluwer 1996) collecting papers of the very first ICTP Research Workshop on the subject in 1995. Besides his primary research activity at PGI, Bo Persson is the founder and CEO of MultiscaleConsulting, a company involved in consulting (theory and experiment) on topics related to contact mechanics and friction (see www.MultiscaleConsulting.com). Most clients are from the tire industry, two F1-racing teams (rubber friction and tire dynamics), and medical companies (the contact between the rubber stopper and the barrel in syringes). Please note the Colloquium start time is 17.00 hrs. Abstract: One of the weakest forces in Nature is the van der Waals interaction which acts between all atoms and solids. Still on a macroscopic level this force field is very strong: one can theoretically hang an object with the weight of a car using a solid bar with 1 square cm cross section attached by the van der Waals interaction to a flat surface. This is never observed in reality, and in my presentation, I will explain the origin of this "adhesion paradox". I will also show how some animals, like the gecko or tree frog, have "learned" (via natural selection) to make use of these weak force fields to adhere to rough and contaminated surfaces, where traditional adhesives would fail. I will describe the origin of adhesion hysteresis, and present some experimental results illustrating it. All solid objects have surface roughness which often is fractal-like, sometimes extending from the size of the solid object to atomic distances. I will describe a theory which can be used to study the contact between two elastic solids with surface roughness and adhesion. The theory predicts the contact area and the stress probability distribution, as well as the probability distribution of interfacial separations, and is the basis for a huge number of practical applications like rubber friction, adhesion, the heat and electric contact resistance, leakage of rubber seals, conveyor belts, tire dynamics etc. It describes how the contact between two solid objects changes as the interface is studied with increasing magnification, say from the naked-eye level to atomic resolution. The theory will be illustrated with applications to the human skin, to electroadhesion for haptic touchscreens (involving the finger-glass screen contact), and adhesive pads for robotics. All are invited to attend. The talk will be livestreamed from the ICTP website. Light refreshments will be served after the event. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Abstract. In recent years we explored the understanding of the soft factorization property of the S-matrix for a theory containing massless particles(photon/graviton) when the energy of external massless particles are small (soft particles). Though the leading factorization is discovered long ago (1965) by Weinberg, it's understanding in the subleading order (for all loop order in S-matrix) was not much explored prior to our (with Sen) work due to the infrared divergence of S-matrix in D=4. For loop corrected S-matrix, we found that the subleading soft factorization contains terms logarithmic in soft energy. The classical limit of this logarithmic terms in soft graviton theorem provides a new classical tail memory with the known permanent shift between the mirrors of gravitational wave detector. Currently, we are trying to understand whether this soft expansion can be understood as the Ward identity of any asymptotic symmetry. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The main focus is on recent developments in gauge theories, both in theoretical physics and in mathematics. This area is very fruitful for active interplays between Mathematics and Physics. In theoretical physics exact results in supersymmetric quantum field theories and superstrings on curved backgrounds prompted the interest in explicit calculations of (equivariant) Donaldson invariants also in higher rank and the possible definition of new invariants for four manifolds using non-Lagrangian theories. On the mathematical side, new results have been obtained for higher rank Donaldson invariants and Vafa-Witten invariants. A key role is played by the interplay of with representation theory and quantum integrable systems. These developments are also expected to have impact on enumerative geometry, knot theory and representation theory of infinite dimensional algebras. A key technical tool in these developments is equivariant localization which allows the extraction of exact results. Topics : higher rank Donaldson invariants Vafa-Witten invariants Donaldson-Thomas invariants study of the BPS spectra of (non Lagrangean) N=2 Gauge Theories and new four-dimensional invariants relation to matrix models and topological strings quantum Hitchin systems and character varieties gauge theories on complex toric surfaces and their instanton moduli spaces surface operators in gauge theory and moduli spaces of principal bundles with parabolic structure quantum cohomology of the instanton moduli space K-theory of quiver varietes quantum integrability, quantum Yang-Baxter equations relations to knot theory and Khovanov Homology higher dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and M-theory Lecturers: L.

Europe/Rome Abstract. One of the main challenges in cosmology is to characterise the physics of inflation. While a single weakly-coupled scalar field rolling down a very flat potential satisfies the basic requirements that observations impose on an inflationary scenario, a great number of phenomena that could take place during inflation are still unconstrained by data. Primordial features are one example of this phenomena and a well-motivated proof of the early universe in their own right. In this talk, we demonstrate that features in primordial spectra, much like the standard BAO themselves, are immune to the most basic nonlinear processes of the late universe and can be tested with the full statistical power of LSS surveys. We perform a full fledged analysis of the BOSS survey data and put constraints on linearly and logarithmically spaced primordial oscillations which are competitive with the ones obtained from CMB observations. Furthermore, we provide an extensive forecast of future surveys, such as EUCLID, DESI and SPHEREx, showing that the future of constraining primordial features is indeed in LSS observations.

Europe/Rome Abstract. The conventional wisdom in cosmology is that that cold-dark-matter haloes form out of initial density peaks and continuously accrete matter from the surroundings becoming more and more massive with time. These concepts form the basis of several semi-analytical tools that are regularly used to interpret data from galaxy and cluster surveys and develop galaxy-formation models (e.g. for the halo mass function, merger trees, and galaxy biasing). Using a suite of numerical simulations, we present thorough tests of the established scenario and show that it is mandatory to introduce new elements in the theory of the gravitational collapse of cold matter. In particular, we demonstrate that filamentary structures in the cosmic web inhibit accretion of new matter onto collapsed haloes. We also illustrate how this phenomenon explains the origin of the so-called 'assembly bias' for galaxy-sized haloes and also influences the dynamics of satellite galaxies. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Most of what we know so far about the origin and evolution of the Universe is based on the information carried by electromagnetic radiation received from distant objects or composing the CMB. The recent direct detections of Gravitational Waves (GWs) have opened a new window of observation for phenomena in which gravity, instead of light, is the messenger. A few black hole and neutron star mergers have been reported and a plethora of new events are expected to be detected in the near-to-mid future. Many possible sources, especially related to the physics of the early Universe, produce (stochastic backgrounds of) GWs with a characteristic frequency much larger than the LIGO frequency range. The detection of high frequency GWs (HFGWs) is however very challenging, and only a few proposals have been made so far. The goal of this workshop is an open-minded discussion on the experimental and theoretical prospects of HFGWs. What are the possible sources and how well are they theoretically understood? What are the challenges faced in experimental setups and what are possible ideas to go beyond current technology? What can we learn about our Universe within the expected sensitivity of these proposals in the next decade? Our goal is to tackle these open questions by gathering a selected sample of people who are interested in these questions both from the theoretical and the experimental points of view. A few dedicated talks aim at introducing the key aspects and questions and bridging the gap between the different communities, while leaving ample time for discussions.

Europe/Rome Worldwide, women constitute a decided minority in the physics community. One of the goals of this Workshop is to bring together women physicists from all over the world, so that they can share their thoughts and learn from each other's experiences. Another goal is to offer mini-workshops that deal with the various non-academic skills that are needed to succeed in a career in science, that male physicists often acquire through the old boys' network, but that women, being more isolated and thus lacking mentors, may find harder to pick up. In addition to hearing from successful female scientists who will share their thoughts and experiences, there will be sessions on topics such as how to write a CV, how to give oral presentations, how to write scientific articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals, the art of negotiation in an academic environment, and how to try to achieve a balance between the demands of career and family. There will also be a scientific poster session, and several opportunities for informal discussion. The Workshop is primarily aimed at women early in their scientific career (e.g. postdocs and junior faculty members), but we will consider applications from all women in physics. This is part of a continuing series of such workshops at ICTP, typically we will not consider applications from participants who have already attended a previous workshop in this series.

Europe/Rome Petra Rudolf was born in Munich, Germany. She studied Physics at the La Sapienza, University of Rome, where she specialized in Solid State Physics. In 1987 she joined the National Surface Science laboratory TASC INFM in Trieste for the following five years, interrupted by two extended periods in 1989 and 1990/1991 at Bell Labs in the USA, where she started to work on the newly discovered fullerenes. In 1993 she moved to the University of Namur, Belgium where she received her PhD in 1995 and then quickly moved from postdoctoral researcher to lecturer and senior lecturer before taking up the Chair in Experimental Solid State Physics at the University in Groningen in 2003. Her principal research interests lie in the areas of condensed matter physics and surface science, particularly molecular motors, 2D solids, organic thin films and inorganic-organic hybrids. Dr. Rudolf is the President of the European Physical Society; she was the President of the Belgian Physical Society in 2000/2001 and was elected member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering,honorary member of the Italian Physical Society, Fellow of the Institute of Physics, "Lid van verdienst" of the Dutch Physical Society and Fellow of the American Physical Society. For her work on molecular motors she received the 2007 Descartes Prize of the European Commission. In 2013 she was appointed Officer of the Order of Orange Nassau by H.M. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Abstract: Nano-engines and molecular motors form the basis of nearly every important biological process. In contrast to this solution chosen by Nature for achieving complex tasks, all of mankind's present day technologies function exclusively through their static or equilibrium properties. One can therefore easily anticipate that the controlled movement of molecules or parts of molecules offers unprecedented technological possibilities for the future. In this presentation I shall illustrate how introducing new concepts like incorporating a ratchet mechanism, allows for the creation of molecular engines that transcend simple switches. I shall discuss how to build molecular engines that allow movements at the molecular level to be coupled to the macroscopic world, e.g., to transport macroscopic objects like drops of liquid over a surface. Another example are molecular systems that can be triggered to form spontaneously functional structures with a well-defined position on surfaces. I shall discuss molecular switches, which can be addressed with light and charge transfer and show that such systems can be employed for “read and write” functions. The talk will be livestreamed from the ICTP website. Light refreshments will follow the event. The event is open to all those interested. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome There is an urgent need to enhance the resilience of developing countries to climate and weather shocks in order to foster sustainable development. Better management of current climate variability can help societies better adapt to future climate change. For example, effective use of sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts of rainfall hold the promise of effective early warning systems for floods and droughts, and actionable information for decision makers in agriculture, water management, and public health. Meanwhile, robust use of climate change scenarios can inform longer term policy decisions on time-scales of decades. For these applications, it is essential to build capacities for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in developing countries to appropriately use climate information for evidence-based planning, and to apply a systems thinking lens towards discerning how climate considerations weave into interconnected sectoral issues. This one-week workshop therefore highlights the need for mainstreaming the integration of climate information into systems across sectors. Researchers and policy-makers need to understand the basics of climate data and their sources and uncertainties, and to become familiar with simple techniques for processing and distilling these into useful information for different scenarios or contexts. To achieve this, a lectures combined with hands-on exercises will be implemented. Participating researchers and practitioners will guided towards the application of concepts and techniques learned towards specific applications in their respective sectors, which will serve as the culminating activity of the workshop. TOPICS: Sources of climate data (e.g. IPCC Climate Atlas, Copernicus C3S, ERA5, CMIP, CORDEX, hydro-met agencies) Basic Linux-based techniques for processing climate data Use of RS-GIS for climate-related applications Systems approach to the climate-land-energy-water nexus Manila - Philippines ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) are organizing a joint winter school on quantitative systems biology. This is the 8th school in the series and will be held at ICTS, Bengaluru, India. https://www.icts.res.in/program/qsb2019 QSB2019 is an advanced school aimed at graduate students and postdocs working in quantitative systems biology. The focus this year is on 'morphogenesis'. The main school will be held between December 9-20, 2019 and will be preceded by a pedagogic and intensive ‘Pre-School’ between December 3-6, 2019. The Pre-School will cover the basic concepts in cell and developmental biology and will have short modules on mathematical modelling and physical approaches to biology. The deadline for applications is 1 September 2019. The development of an organism from a single-celled zygote to an embryo involves a tight integration between gene expression, signaling and mechanochemical processes. In recent years, there has been an explosion in studies that attempt to unravel the physical principles behind how organisms self-organize to generate their three-dimensional shape and functional form. Novel microscopy techniques are giving unprecedented views into the processes of development at very high spatiotemporal resolution. This deluge of data necessitates a larger scale systems-level understanding how organisms build themselves. The eighth edition of the ICTP - ICTS winter school on quantitative systems biology is focussed on Morphogenesis and will allow students from different backgrounds to become familiar with exciting developments at the interface of Physics and Developmental Biology. The participants of the school will be exposed to contemporary research areas, covering a large variety of topics, including mechanochemical pattern formation, regeneration and growth regulation, evolutionary-developmental biology. The school will emphasize how major questions in developmental biology such as stem cell differentiation, morphogenesis, tissue patterning, and tissue mechanics, can be asked with the help of quantification and physical theory.

Europe/Rome The aim of the Winter College is to offer Ph.D. students and early career researchers training in quantum optics and quantum information. The College will also offer insight in the new quantum technologies involving the generation and manipulation of photonic and matter-like states. Quantum Optics, which studies how individual quanta of light interact with atoms and molecules, has been one of the most active research fields in the last years. Such endeavours have led to a deep understanding of the fundamental properties of light-matter interaction and its use to control and engineer quantum systems. Currently, taking advantage from properties like entanglement, nonlocality and coherence, photons and atoms are the key elements for quantum technologies applications. In particular, quantum information science has flourished everywhere in the world, including developing countries. Theoretical and experimental research is thriving, and leading the way to new technological developments. The Winter College will present the basic concepts as well as the most up-to-date research in Quantum Optics. An ICTP PREPARATORY SCHOOL will be organized the week before the College (from 4 - 8 February 2020) for a limited number of selected participants: http://indico.ictp.it/event/9020/ Topics: • Introduction to Quantum Optics • From Quantum Optics to Quantum Information • Open quantum systems • Modern Technologies for Quantum Photonics • Hybrid quantum optics platforms for quantum technologies • Quantum optics platforms for quantum simulation • Continuous-variable quantum information processing • Quantum cyber-security • Quantum optomechanics • Machine learning for quantum technologies • Beyond quantum mechanics Lecturers: M.

Europe/Rome CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) represents a major challenge to public health worldwide. Mobile elements such as plasmids play a crucial role in Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) and AMR spread. Understanding plasmid evolution and mobility is fundamental to unravel the population genetics of plasmid-encoded genes, especially antibiotic genes. The combination of breakthroughs in sequencing and computational approaches has led to a new vision of the eco-evolutionary processes involved in HGT dynamics of pathogens. The School and Workshop will focus on modelling efforts to integrate genomic, experimental and computational results, to build a unified framework to tackle the expansion of plasmid-borne AMR. The workshop will be preceded by the one-week introductory school on bacterial evolution, population genetics and epidemiology. The school introduces general concepts in those disciplines and focuses on their applications to AMR and plasmids. State-of-the-art methods used in genetic research on plasmids will be covered. Invited Speakers include: Stephanie Bedhomme, CEFE/CNRS, Montpellier Sebastian Bonhoeffer, ETH Zurich Alessandra Carattoli, Sapienza University, Rome Trinad Chakraborty, JLU Gießen Teresa Coque, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, IFOM and University of Milan Alejandro Couce, Imperial College London Lars Hansen, University of Copenhagen Michael Lässig, University of Cologne James McInerney, University of Manchester Itzik Mizrahi, Ben-Gurion University Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Chiara Poletto, INSERM - Sorbonne University Adam Roberts, LSTM, Liverpool Alvaro San Millan, IRYCIS, Madrid Kornelia Smalla, Julius Kühn-Institut, Braunschweig Willem Van Schaik, University of Birmingham Rob Willems, UMC Utrecht Arjan de Visser, Wageningen University Lecturers include: Fernando De La Cruz Calahorra, Universidad de Cantabria & Instituto de Biomedicina y Biotecnología de Cantabria Alice Ledda, Imperial College London Richard Neher, Biozentrum - University of Basel Luca Ferretti, Big Data Institute, Oxford Jacopo Grilli, ICTP ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it
