Europe/Rome School on Mathematical Models of Evolution January 21 – 26, 2019 Although new experimental technology is partly responsible for the current revolution in biological research, theoretical models developed by physicists are also playing an important role in changing the way biological research is being performed. The number of theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians migrating into biology has dramatically increased throughout the world, but South America still lags behind. The one-week school on mathematical models on evolution, co-organized with the ICTP-SAIFR, UNESP, FAPESP and IFT-UNESP, will feature lectures by physicists and applied biologists who have made important contributions to this area of biological research. The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences. This activity will be preceded by the ‘VIII Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses. Lecturers and courses: Population genetics and evolution – Luca Peliti (SMRI, Italy) Understanding how genetic information is transmitted across generations is at the basis of evolutionary theory. This course will review the mechanisms of reproduction, selection, mutation and drift and will be the backbone for the more specific courses below. Evolution of individuality – Paul Rainey (IAS – Massey University, New Zeland) The origins of multicellularity and cell differentiation are profound problems in biology. Overview of theory and recent experiments. The evolution of immune systems – Curtis Callan (Princeton University, USA) The immune system has the ability to respond to arbitrary pathogens. Using samples from mice it has been possible to track the evolution of the immune system from embryo to adult, revealing surprising differences between species. Ecology and evolution of viruses – Joshua Weitz (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Viruses shape the fate of cells, populations, and ecosystems. These lectures will provide an overview of the nonlinear dynamics of viruses and their microbial hosts, including theory, models, and evidence for the joint influence of population and evolutionary dynamics. The program will be available in December 2018 Click here for online application Application deadline: November 4, 2018 Sao Paulo - Brazil ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The aim of the Winter College is to offer Ph.D. students and other emerging researchers broad training in the innovative applications of optics and photonics in food and agriculture. Deriving impact through research, development and entrepreneurship in this sector will be explored. Improving food, from production to processing, is one of the most important and successful contributions of modern optical and photonic innovations. Optical sensing and spectroscopy discoveries have provided huge advances in all areas, from identifying nutritional components, to uncovering contamination by adulterants and pathogens. Tailored light and light-based technologies also are used to better grow plants, purify water, kill pathogens, hatch eggs, and sort sperm and oocytes for herd control. The keen interest in photonics for food and agriculture is global and rapidly growing – a future with smart optics and photonics will succeed in feeding the world’s people sustainably. In addition to lectures, there will be tutorials and hands-on activities. An ICTP PREPARATORY SCHOOL will be organized the week before the College (from 4 - 8 February 2019) for a limited number of selected participants: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8642/ COLLEGE’S TOPICS: - Optical sensing and spectroscopic analysis, including hyperspectral methods. - Remote sensing and imaging – fundamentals and applications for precision agriculture. - Advanced vibrational spectrocopy including Raman scattering and IR absorption, SERS, low frequency Raman and imaging. - Understanding OCT and laser vibrometery. - Linear and nonlinear optical methods for sensing - Photonics and farming the oceans - Photonic advances driving the future of sustainable farming. - Solutions-focused photonics R&D with real impact beyond the research lab. - Low-cost spectroscopy for consumer use and limited resource settings - Photonics for application to packaging - Low-cost spectroscopy for consumer use and limited resource settings - Photonics for application to packaging DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS SUBMISSION: 21 OCTOBER 2018 ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 25 February to 22 March 2019. Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern (statistical, quantum) physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems gives students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive 4-week program. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each, followed by final written tests. Lecturers and Courses: Deepak DHAR (TIFR, Mumbai, India) Self-Organized Criticality Henri ORLAND (CEA, France) Electrostatic Interactions in Soft and Biological Matter Shahin ROUHANI (Sharif U., Tehran, Iran) Statistical Mechanics of Two Dimensional Critical Curves Mukund THATTAI (NCBS, Bangalore, India) Randomness in Biology Bence TOTH (Capital Fund Management, Paris, France) Elements of Quantitative Finance Students and young researchers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may apply for the College. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by their home institutions. However, limited funds are available to partially support some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is limited and candidates should make every effort to secure support for their travel, at least partial. Attendance of lectures and completion of the final written tests are mandatory for those who are granted ICTP funding. There is no registration fee. RULES FOR PARTICIPATION Participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students are required to attend at least 80% of the courses. Attendance is monitored regularly. Taking the final exam for each course is mandatory for participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students. Grading system: Each course will be graded on a scale from 0 to 20. Marks higher than 10 correspond to pass. A final grade will be given for the overall Spring College with the following scale: E- Excellent - 5 exams passed A- Very Good - 4 exams passed B- Good - 3 exams passed C- Sufficient - 2 exams passed F- Fail - 1 or no exams passed The overall grade of participants will be published on the Spring College webpage. Certificates of attendance will be awarded only to participants who have attended at least 80% of the courses, with no exception. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it
