[Ahmed El hady]

*School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition*

*March 10-21, 2025*

*ICTP-SAIFR, São Paulo, Brazil*

*/Application Deadline:/ December 28, 2024*

School on Origins is an interdisciplinary school that tackles the 
foundational questions concerning the origins of biophysical systems 
which include but are not limited to : molecular, cellular, neural and 
behavioral systems. We aim to find principles shared across systems 
using tools from statistical physics, mathematical analysis and 
numerical simulations to explore these questions. We have invited 
researchers that work both on the experimental and theoretical side to 
cover a variety of biophysical systems and theoretical approaches. The 
school is aimed at graduate students either at the master’s or PhD level 
who have a strong quantitative background and a keen interest to pursue 
interdisciplinary research.

We invite students pursuing degrees in physics, computer science, 
engineering, or mathematics. Those pursuing degrees in biology need to 
provide evidence of strong and extensive quantitative background in 
topics such as calculus, dynamical systems and numerical programming.

/There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel 
and local expenses./
