Program Description
The "Winter Workshop on Competition Dynamics in Biology" will be held at
The Ohio State University December 15-17, 2021. This workshop aims to bring together mathematicians and biologists who are interested in questions in spatial ecology to present some current topics in this area, and to propose new mathematical and biological problems for future research.

Registration will be open through December 1, 2021. Please fill out the following Registration Link Accommodation There are many hotels near campus at which you can make a reservation, including:
Because there is no OSU football game the weekend of December 15-17, it seems there are many events planned in the area. It is probably a good idea to book your hotel earlier rather than later. Organization For more information, please contact: Adrian Lam (lam (dot) 184 (at) osu (dot) edu) Yuan Lou (lou (dot) 8 (at) osu (dot) edu) Travel information There is some funding available for travel reimbursement. Please contact Adrian Lam about such funding. If arriving by car, you can park in either:
