Matheon-Workshop "Computational Biomechanics"


Zuse-Institute Berlin (ZIB) and Freie Universität Berlin (FU) are pleased to announce the workshop on Computational Biomechanics supported by the DFG Research Center Matheon, Berlin. The aim of this workshop is bringing together experts in the field of numerical mathematics in biomechanics.

The Workshop will take place at the Zuse-Institute Berlin (ZIB) on Monday, February 27th and Thuesday, February 28th.

We would be glad to welcome you to our workshop. If you are interested in participating or presenting your research, please contact Dr. Corinna Klapproth. The registration fee is 50 Euro.
