Posted on by

Link to the CIG Symposium website

This event focuses on the striking capacity to self-organise that is intrinsic to all living matter. How does such biological order emerge from chaos? Through the 2023 CIG Symposium “Emergence of Order Across Biological Scales” we will explore and discuss the most recent discoveries about how life is structured across scales, from molecules to cells and all the way to organisms and whole populations.

Link to the online registration form 

4 short talks (15mn + 5mn for questions) are scheduled. Speakers will be selected from the pool of submitted abstracts.
!!! to submit an abstract, sign in after registration and upload it by April 30, 2023 !!!
