Propose a Convening Activity

Convening activities are critical for bridging gaps between mathematics and biology, and for uniting these disciplines over major questions of common interest. They are organized around broad conceptual themes common to mathematics and biology and highlight opportunities for mathematicians to develop new mathematics that have a direct impact on biology research.

 

These are open to participants from institutions worldwide, and aim to include researchers from both disciplines. Activities are designed to encourage discovery, stimulate collaborations among participants, and build a dialogue concerning the practice of research by mathematicians and biologists. Most convening programs will be held in the NITMB located in the John Hancock Center in downtown Chicago.

Workshops

A Scientific Workshop at the NITMB is a week-long focused program in a specific area of current research at the intersection of biological and mathematical sciences.

​

Now accepting proposals to host a Workshop.

Long Programs

Each fall and spring, NITMB holds a Long Program (LP) that addresses one
or more of the five research themes supported by the NITMB.

​

Now accepting proposals to host Long Programs.
