Mathematical and Computational Evolutionary Biology
17 juin 2024 - 21 juin 2025
Hameau de l'Etoile - Montpellier (France)
We are happy to announce that MCEB is returning to the Hameau de l'Etoile near Montpellier (in the south of France) for its 2024 edition. The meeting will put the emphasis on simulation-based inference techniques. These approaches are getting traction in population genetics and areas in evolutionary biology whereby the complexity of the probabilistic models at play forbid the application of classical, likelihood-driven, estimation tools. The conference will provide a good opportunity to provide an overview of the techniques themselves with a focus on their applications to shed light on interesting biological processes. Beyond this year's themes, general concepts, models, methods and algorithms will be presented and discussed, just as in the previous editions of MCEB. As usual, the meeting will bring together researchers originating from various disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, phylogenetics, population genetics, epidemiology, ecological modeling... Keynote speakers will introduce a field of research and discuss their own work in this field. Afternoon will be for short presentations and posters, with plenty of time for discussions. We will stop early every day, thus leaving time for other activities, such as hiking, rock climbing or river kayaking...
