The Dutch Society for Theoretical Biology (NVTB) is a biological society focussing on theoretical, mathematical and philosophical biology. The society comprises 200 members from several universities, institutes and other organisations. The main aim of the society is to stimulate and represent theoretical biology in its broadest sense in the Netherlands.

Its activities consist in the following:

• The NVTB organises meetings dealing with all subjects studied by its members, ranging from mathematical models or computer models of collective behaviour, ecology, biodiversity, population dynamics, evolution, immunology, epidemiology, physiology, etcetera down to philosophical aspects of biology.
  
  
• The main meeting of the NVTB is the yearly meeting in Schoorl which lasts two days. Every year this meeting is booked full with about 50 participants. This meeting keeps members of the NVTB informed about what happens in theoretical biology in the Netherlands and it strengthens the contact among the members of the society.
  
  
• Besides our main meeting we also sponsor symposia related to theoretical biology. If you would like to apply for a symposium sponsorship see this page (under construciton)
  
  
• We also have a special mailing list to spread the word about job opportunities and interesting conferences & symposia. To subscribe to our mailing list see this link If you have a job opportunity or a conference/symposium that you would like to advertise please contact our secretary Timo van Eldijk.
