Theoretical Biology of Adaptation (TBA)

More about the Programme

The main goal of the TBA Programme is to foster a creative collaboration between, on the one hand, theoretically inclined biologists from different fields, and, on the other hand, between such biologists and mathematicians. The programme´s expected achievements are:

  • to permeate all fields of biology with a firm theoretical basis, not only in order to bridge the gap between data and theory but also
  • to bridge the conceptual gap between different levels of biological organization;
  • to train young scientists in the field of biology to freely move between theory and data;
  • to enhance the synthesis of biological thought and
  • to explore and enhance the possible application of theoretical biology outside the discipline, e.g. in other sciences as well as industry and technology.

Activities

The TBA Programme ended in December 2001.

News/Current Status

The TBA Programme ended in December 2001.  There will therefore be no further calls for:

  • applications for travel grants
  • proposals for workshops and schools
