The FRB in action
Training course oragnised since 2022
Theory-driven Analysis of Ecological Data
The objective of this five-day course is to train young researchers in mathematical modelling (differential equations, Lotka Volterra, Jacobian matrices), and in the statistical links between models and biodiversity data.
Pre-registrations open for 2025
The CESAB – Centre for Biodiversity Synthesis and Analysis – and the GdR TheoMoDive organize the second edition of the training course “Theory-driven Analysis of Ecological Data”. The objective of this five-day course is to train young researchers in mathematical modelling (differential equations, Lotka Volterra, Jacobian matrices), and in the statistical links between models and biodiversity data.
The training course, in English, takes places in the CESAB premises in Montpellier. The price is 250 € for the week, including lunch. Travel, accommodation and evening meals are at the expense of the participants.
