Five world famous experts on evolutionary dynamics from Harvard University, including Tibor Antal, David G. Rand, Thomas Pfeiffer, Daniel I. Rosenbloom, and Michael Manapat,attended the symposium, and Prof. Chu Tianguang also accepted the invitation to attend this symposium.

 

During the symposium, the five experts gave special lectures on hot topics in this field, such as the application of evolutionary dynamics in cancer, punishment, metabolic systems,evolutionary origins and vaccination. Their excellent lectures attracted nearly fifty teachers and students from PKU, Tsinghua University, and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Combined with their research fields, the teachers and students exchanged ideas and had deep discussions with the experts after their lectures.
