The International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), are organizing a Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology from 8 to 19 December 2015 (QSB2015), as part of the ICTP- ICTS Programme in Biology. This is the fourth school in the series on Quantitative Systems Biology, held alternately at Trieste and Bangalore. QSB2015 will be hosted in the ICTS campus in Bangalore.The School is targeted towards young researchers, particularly those at the PhD and post -doctoral level with backgrounds in the physical and mathematical sciences and engineering, who are working in biology or hope to do so. It will give participants a broad introduction to open problems in modern biology, and provide pedagogical instruction on new quantitative approaches being used to address those problems. The main school will be preceded by an intensive three-day pre-school (5-7 December, 2015) targeted to non-biologists.QSB2015 is centere...

This is a joint program of ICTS with TIFR, Mumbai and KIAS, Seoul.The theory of surfaces has been the cradle to many powerful ideas in Algebraic Geometry. The problems in this area have been attacked in several different ways. This program seeks to bring together leading experts in this field to give a survey of each point of view and to prepare young mathematicians to take this circle of ideas to the next level by arming themselves with a clear understanding of how all the different techniques unite in principle to solve deep problems in Geometry.The program will be organized in two parts, an advanced school and a discussion meeting:Scope of Advanced SchoolThis part is intended primarily for young mathematicians: advanced PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows at the beginning of their careers. The school will be six days long and will have three lectures each day by leading experts in the fields of Algebraic Surfaces, Topological Aspects of Surface Theory, Fundamental Groups in Alge...

This workshop on gravitational-wave astronomy is jointly organized by the ICTS and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI), Hannover to mark the inauguration of the Max Planck Partner Group in Astrophysical Relativity and Gravitational-Wave Astronomy at ICTS. This workshop focusses on issues related to the search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries and spinning neutron stars. A special session on Thursday, November 5 will focus on  initiating collaborations between gravitational-wave astronomers and the core science team of the Indian multi-wavelength astronomy satellite project Astrosat in problems related to the search for gravitational-waves from accreting neutron stars.
