About the conference
The annual international conference on Mathematical Methods
and Models in Biosciences (Biomath)
will take place from 14 to 19 June 2026 at the Bolyai Institute of
the University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary.
Biomath 2026 is devoted to recent research in life sciences based on
applications of mathematics as well as mathematics applied to or
motivated by biological studies. It is a multidisciplinary meeting
forum for researchers who develop and apply mathematical and
computational tools to the study of phenomena in the broad fields of
biology, ecology, medicine, biophysics, biochemistry,
pharmacokinetics, chemoinformatics, biotechnology, bioengineering,
environmental science, etc.
Contributed talks related to the scope of the conference are invited
for presentation. Participants need to submit a one or two page
abstract indicating clearly the significance of the reported results
for the advancement of knowledge in biosciences. If the abstract is
for a talk intended for the special session, please communicate this
at the time of submission. Manuscripts based on the conference
presentations are welcomed for submission to the journal
Biomath (for Volume 15 (2026), the deadline is 30 September
2026).
Biomath School for Young Scientists
The lectures at the school are of more introductory nature giving foundations and insight into the respective topic rather then focusing on new results and are presented by some of the keynote speakers of the conference. The school is integrated with the conference. The participants in the School are also participants in the conference and are expected to deliver an oral presentation or a poster. There is no additional fee for the School.
