Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Formal scientific modeling: a case study in global health ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 12 to January 16, 2026 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Pasadena, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/formalmodel ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM, the NSF, the Topos Institute, and the US NSF Center for Analysis and Prediction of Pandemic Expansion will consider how category-theoretic foundations for modeling as decision support for multidisciplinary collaboration might advance insights into pandemic science. The workshop is organized by Nina Fefferman, Tim Hosgood, and Mary Lou Zeeman. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/formalmodel Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than August 12, 2025. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
