The European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WISPOC), at its 18th edition, is organized every year by the University of Padova, Department of Chemical Sciences, with the support of the Società Chimica Italiana (www.soc.chim.it/en), Divisione di Chimica Organica (www.soc.chim.it/it/divisioni/organica/home).The aim of the E-WISPOC is to bring together leading world scientists with young students to provide an overview of the latest advances in the various areas of Organic Chemistry, with a special emphasis on Physical Organic Cheimstry. The main focus of E-WISPOC 2024 will be on “Chemistry of the Confined Spaces”. Topics will be illustrated and debated in a lively and informal atmosphere with free time in the afternoon dedicated to visit local mountains. As in the past editions, EWISPOC 2025 will consist of lessons delivered by scientists, poster sessions, flash presentations workshops and open sessions.

This practical course teaches the basics of multicellular modelling to any researcher wishing to enter the field, particularly experimentalists with no prior experience of computational modelling. It is a “hands-on” course with 60% of the time devoted to students working on laptops performing exercises designed to give a practical familiarity with different types of computational modelling. The course focuses on the dynamics of multicellular systems- from embryos to organoids, covering both the molecular side (how gene regulatory networks perform pattern formation) and also the mechanical side in 2D and 3D (how the movements and activities of many cells together leads to tissue-level morphogenesis and organisation). A carefully-chosen variety of modelling tools will be introduced, which cover the core approaches of vertex models, finite element models (FEM), and agent-based models (ABM). Attendees will also work through the week in small groups on group projects, which will be presented on the last day to the whole class. Each day will end with a keynote lecture by a prominent researcher in the field, putting the topic of the day into context through an example of relevant biological research.
