Venue: Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Sala Pere i Joan Coromines

A fundamental problem in a wide range of disciplines is understanding how functional complexity at a macroscopic scale results from the actions and interactions among the individual components. Animal groups such as insect swarms, fish schools and bird flocks frequently display coordinated behaviours that result from individual interactions. The resulting collective movement is observed across different scales, from cells forming biological tissues to fish schools moving in synchrony. This also constitutes a challenge for the mathematical modelling and analysis of these systems.

The Workshop will provide the opportunity for established specialists in collective behaviour from a mathematical, biological, and physical perspective to present their most recent work. Ample scope will be provided for interactive discussions to identify possible collaborative or independent projects that further develop the techniques and extend the applications.
