This event is for participants in the MSCA Doctoral Network CAFE-BIO which aims to develop a Coherent Analysis Framework for Emergence in Biological Systems. It is open to the Doctoral Candidates, their supervisors and co-supervisors and the network's Non-Academic Partners.
During this meeting we will provide a brief overview of the general structure and operation of the network, devoting the majority of the time to building collaborations within the network's three main thematic areas:
- Novel physical interactions in biological systems
- From microscopic interactions to macroscopic collective effects
- Data-driven modelling and experimental applications
Major research challenges will be presented in each of these areas, and participants working within them will identify an open research question that cuts across the individual projects that the Doctoral Candidates will individually work on.
Doctoral Candidates should each come prepared to speak for no more than five minutes with no more than two slides on the understanding they have of their individual research project - please discuss with your supervisor to the extent necessary to achieve this.
During the meeting there will be additional workshops on practical implementation of a research project, including model building and analysis, as well as responsible practices in data handling and presentation of results.
The meeting will culminate with a half-day at Dynamic Earth, a science centre located in central Edinburgh, to introduce the Public Engagement strand of the network to participants.
Ahead of the formal meeting, Participants are invited to gather and get to know each other at 7pm on Sunday 27th September at the Cambridge Bar, 20 Young St, Edinburgh EH2 4JB, where a buffet and drinks will be served.
