Workshop on Network Dynamics

July 15, 2009 – Exeter


This one-day workshop will be held in University of Exeter, SECAM. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in Network Dynamics. There will be lectures and short talks about new mathematical results in this field. Participants are invited to present their posters at a poster session which will be run during the buffet lunch. This workshop is partially sponsored by the EPSRC Mathematical Neuroscience Network and London Mathematical Society (Scheme 2 visitor grant for M Field).
