Programme: MiLS meeting on Time-Delay Systems in Life Sciences, 16-17/12/24

We are pleased to confirm the programme for the Mathematics in Life Sciences (MiLS) meeting on "Time-Delay Systems in Life Sciences", which will take place on 16 -17 December 2024 at the University of Nottingham (University Park Campus) in the School of Mathematical Sciences (number 20 on the campus map). Directions to the University Park Campus (including cycling facilities, bicycle routes, bus and tram lines) can be found here.

Attendance to the meeting is free of charge, but we kindly ask you to register your intention to attend by completing the registration form. Registrations and contributions of posters will be accepted up until 12th December and can be made through the registration form.

We look forward to welcoming you in Nottingham.
