September 2-13, 2025 @ University of Coimbra This will be an intensive course targeted to students from the M. Sc. to post-doctoral levels with either biological or exact sciences backgrounds who wish to acquire skills in Computational Biology. It will have four main components: (1) Introductory lectures on mathematics and physics for biologists, and biology for exact sciences students (parallel tracks), (2) courses on specialized Computational Biology topics ranging from the molecular level to integrated physiological systems, (3) seminars on recent developments, (4) mini-research projects where the students will have opportunity to apply the acquired skills to realistic research problems. Illustrative applications will emphasize biomedical problems.

Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications (MOPTA) aims at bringing together a diverse group of people from both discrete and continuous optimization, working on both theoretical and applied aspects. There will be a small number of invited talks from distinguished speakers and contributed talks, spread over three days. Our target is to present a diverse set of exciting new developments from different optimization areas while at the same time providing a setting which will allow increased interaction among the participants. We aim to bring together researchers from both the theoretical and applied communities who do not usually have the chance to interact in the framework of a medium-scale event.

My name is Américo Matusse, from the University Eduardo Mondlane, Maputo, Mozambique. I completed my PhD in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in January 2024, under the supervision of professors Michael Chapwanya and Yves Dumont. I defended a thesis entitled “Modelling and analysis of plant-virus interaction in plant co-infection”. In May 2024, I was awarded the 4th Advanced Internship in Mathematics, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. As part of this programme, I worked in Computational Biology under the supervision of Adérito Araújo, from the University of Coimbra, Portugal.

Large electric energy storage systems, such as batteries, are crucial components for the utilization of intermittent renewable energy sources. For domestic use (solar energy), a battery is comprised of tens or hundreds of elementary cells with a voltage range of 2.5-3.7V and a capacity of 1-10Ah, which are connected in series or parallel to provide the appropriate voltage and provide sufficient power (up to several kW in a few hours). At an industrial scale, batteries with a capacity of several MWh are comprised of numerous hundreds or thousands of small cells, each capable of delivering between 100 and 500kW at a high voltage of 350-500V.

A three-day meeting in Málaga for researchers involved in modeling, numerical analysis, and scientific computation. To celebrate the French scientific relationship with the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the French CNRS has created an International Research Project called PICASSO for "hyPerbolIC models, numerical AnalysiS and Scientific cOmputation" for 5 years. All researchers who work or have worked with French collaborators on modelling, numerical analysis and scientific calculation are de facto part of PICASSO and can benefit from it. PICASSO's main goal is to expand, enhance, re-enforce, and foster the relationship by funding workshops, exchanges, visits, etc. As a kick-off meeting, we propose with our counterparts from Malaga and Coimbra to organize a workshop from March 24 to 26, 2025 in Malaga, Spain.
