Mathematical Models in Ecology and Evolution (MMEE) is one of the largest regular conferences that brings together researchers working at the interface between evolutionary biology and the mathematical, physical, and computational sciences.

The conference aims to showcase the latest developments of mathematical modelling in evolution and ecology by presenting a programme including keynote talks and thematic sessions.  We aim to create an inclusive and diverse programme of contributed talks and posters. Research students and early-career scientists are especially encouraged to participate.

The Conference will take place in the Western Gateway Building University College Cork (UCC), Cork, Ireland, between 21-24 July 2026.
