The BIOMAT 2017 International Symposium will be held at the Institute of Numerical Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. The participation in the BIOMAT 2017 International Symposium is another great opportunity for research students and young Post Docs to exchange scientific feedback with their colleagues from several countries, in the best tradition of the BIOMAT Symposium Series.

The present conference will be the 17th edition of an annual series of international symposia organized by the BIOMAT Consortium, a non-profit organization of scientists from universities and research centres from many countries on five continents. Its fundamental mission is to promote the scientific exchange of knowledge in the interdisciplinary areas of Mathematical and Biological Sciences as well as the enhancement of multidisciplinary scientific work on developing countries worldwide.

The BIOMAT 2017 will be organized as a joint event with the annual conference Mathematical Models and Numerical Methods in Biomathematics (dodo.inm.ras.ru/biomath/en). The sponsors of the BIOMAT 2017 are the BIOMAT Consortium,the Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS, the Interdiscplinary Scientific Center J.-V. Poncelet, the International Union of Biological Sciences, the Parseco Foundation, the Russian Foudation for Basic Research and the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations.

The works selected by the BIOMAT Editorial Board and senior AdHoc international referees, on a full paper form have an acceptance level of 20%. The BIOMAT series of books is indexed by ISI - Web of Science, MathSciNet; Zentralblatt für Mathematik, etc.
