Understanding the mechanisms that govern biological diversity and its interactions with the environment is essential to addressing many of today’s global challenges. We will explore how mathematical approaches can help us better understand phenomena such as antibiotic resistance, the collective behavior of microorganisms, the spread of invasive species, and the preservation and restoration of soil health.

Themes:
1° Antibiotic resistance [Amandine] 2° Collective movement of bacteria [Vincent] 3° Invasive species [Vincent] 4° Soil health [Amandine]
