Report of the Workshop on Future Directions in Modelling Physical-Biological Interactions (WKFDPBI)

The ICES Study Group on Modelling Physical-Biological Interactions (SGPBI) at its annual meeting (March 2003) in Chapel Hill, USA, decided to apply for a Working Group (WGPBI) status. As part of the continuing effort in the field of physical-biological interactions a Workshop was decided to be spun off to help identify key areas where existing techniques for modelling physical-biological interactions needed to be improved. F. Peters took the lead in this action and it was decided to convene a Workshop in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) in March 2004, immediately before the annual Working Group Meeting, with the title “Workshop on Future Directions in Modelling Physical-Biological Interactions [WKFDPBI]”. The findings of the Workshop would be reviewed and considered for incorporation into the strategic plan for the WG.
