<br>
<br>Kind regards,
<br>
<br>Hans-Jörg Kreowski (University of Bremen, Germany)
<br>
<br>======================= Call for Participation ===========================
<br>
<br>              2nd International Workshop on Reaction Systems
<br>                                 and
<br>                    1st School on Reaction Systems
<br>
<br>                     Toruń, Poland, June 3-7, 2019
<br>                       http://wors2019.mat.umk.pl
<br>
<br>==========================================================================
<br>
<br>Participation in both the School and the Workshop (including coffee 
<br>breaks and lunches) is free, however, the registration on the event 
<br>website before May 17 is necessary.
<br>
<br>School and Workshop:
<br>
<br>Since their introduction about 10 years ago, reaction systems 
<br>matured into a fruitful and dynamically evolving research area, which 
<br>attracted a noticeable group of researchers. The original motivation was
<br> the understanding of interactions of biochemical reactions in the 
<br>living cell and since then reaction systems have developed as an 
<br>innovative approach to formal modelling of biological systems. They have
<br> also become a popular novel model of interactive computation.
<br>
<br>Due to growing interest in this research area, the need has arisen 
<br>to organise a periodic workshop providing a forum for exchanging 
<br>research ideas and, hopefully, initiating new or strengthening already 
<br>existing collaborative research efforts. The first workshop took place 
<br>in Milano, Italy, in June 2018. The second meeting will take place in 
<br>Toruń, Poland, in the period 3-7 June 2019.
<br>
<br>The meeting in Toruń will consist of a school and a workshop. The 
<br>school will take place from Monday, June 3, until Wednesday, June 5. The
<br> school program consists of tutorial lectures accessible also to 
<br>participants who are not yet familiar with reaction systems. They will 
<br>cover the biological aspects of reaction systems, the computational 
<br>aspects of reaction systems (reaction systems as a model of interactive 
<br>computation), and the relationship of reaction systems to other models 
<br>of computation. Then the workshop will take place from Wednesday, June 
<br>5, until Friday, June 7. The workshop program will cover the recent as 
<br>well as by now established scientific results. Also, the presentations 
<br>of work in progress are welcome. Moreover, the program of the workshop 
<br>is designed in such a way as to provide enough time (and classroom 
<br>space) to instigate collaboration between participants.
<br>
<br>The lectures of the school are scheduled as follows:
<br>

<br>Student grants:
<br>
<br>Student grants, provided by the City Council of Toruń and Nicolaus 
<br>Copernicus University, are still available. For more details, see the 
<br>attachement.
<br>
<br>Toruń:
<br>
<br>Toruń, one of the oldest cities in Poland, is located on the Vistula
<br> river in the northern part of the country, and is best known as the 
<br>birthplace of the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1997 the medieval 
<br>part of the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 
<br>2007 the Old Town in Toruń was designated as one of the Seven Wonders of
<br> Poland. Toruń is also European City of Sport in 2019. National 
<br>Geographic rated the old town market and the Gothic town hall as one of 
<br>the 30 Most Beautiful Places in the World. Toruń has many monuments of 
<br>architecture beginning from the Middle Ages. Most of them have an almost
<br> intact medieval layout.
<br>
<br>More information about the meeting and the city of Toruń can be found in the attachment and on the meeting website.
<br>
<br>Please distribute this announcement as wide as possible.
<br>
<br>Best regards,
