Venue

The workshop will be held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. This is a leading international research centre that specializes in programs that bring mathematicians and scientists together to work on interdisciplinary projects. During September 3- December 21, 2007, the Institute is running a 4-month program titled Phylogenetics, organised by Profs. Huson, Moulton and Steel, and the proposed meeting will be a high-profile launching event that will set the stage for the subsequent 4 months of research and collaboration between biologists, mathematicians and computer scientists.
