Dear all
We are still accepting proposals from plant and crop scientists for the Sixth Mathematics in the Plant Sciences Study Group (25-28 March 2013, University of Nottingham).
This annual four-day workshop gives a handful of plant and crop scientists the opportunity to present a research question to around forty mathematicians and computer scientists. The modellers spend the rest of the meeting tackling the problems in teams, resulting in a great deal of progress made in a very short time. Problems presented at the previous five study groups have led to publications and successful grant proposals. We welcome problems from any area of plant and crop science, and no prior experience of mathematical modelling is required.
The deadline for problem submissions has been extended until 8 February. The proposal format is a ~2 page document describing the background to the problem, the question(s) to be addressed, and giving an idea of the experimental data available.
To see previous problem descriptions, and to find out more, please visit http://www.cpib.ac.uk/events/mpssg/
Kind regards
Susie Lydon
