EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Theory and concepts in biology

May 6 to May 9

EMBL

EES24-04_poster_web_qr

This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.

 

Symposium Overview

Recent progress in biology has led to an explosion of factual knowledge about the living world over a huge range of scales in space and time. Yet, many questions about how to make sense of this data remain across the entire diversity of the living world from the smallest bacterium to the ecosystems of the Serengeti.

This meeting is the 2nd edition in a series of symposia aiming to bring together a diverse community of researchers interested in finding ways to transform into conceptual knowledge the ever-increasing amount of factual knowledge produced by biological research. The goal is to provide a platform to discuss perspectives on the role of theory in biology, and importantly also vice versa, the impact that biology can have on theory.
