Dear colleagues, please share with your peers, students and whoever may be interested.

We would like to invite you to the forthcoming ICAM-I2CAM http://icam-i2cam.org/ Symposium on "*Mathematical and computational approaches to the 'Big Data' challenge in neuron-glia interactions*"

hold in Edinburgh, UK on *July 9, 2017* during the XIII Euroglia meeting http://www.glia2017.eu/?s=welcome.

The aim of the symposium is to bridge between experiments and modeling studies in in quantitative research on glia.

The symposium hosts a panel of four internationally renowned scientists with multidisciplinary expertise in physics, engineering, quantitative biology and statistics, whose shared research interests are in developing computational approaches to study different types of glia: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglia. The four speakers will discuss some of the latest findings of current quantitative research on neuron-glia interactions, providing a concise, mind-provoking overview of the open challenges in the field.
