Last month, #EESCollectivity explored how interactions between biological components give rise to complex behaviours across living systems.

Among the many poster presentations, 2 were recognised with poster prizes. Congrats, Max and Laura! Read about their research: s.embl.org/ees26-01-posterprize

Me sentí un poco fuera de mi zona de confort en esta conferencia, pero fue fascinante conocer las investigaciones que lideran el campo del comportamiento colectivo y su emergencia en sistemas biológicos. También fue muy emocionante ganar el Pub Quiz 😂💚 #EESCollectivity

And just like that, #EESCollectivity is done! These last four days just flew by and we want to thank every participant, speaker, and organiser for making the first edition of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Collectivity in living systems' such a success. We hope to see you at another event soon! 👋

Delighted to be at the #EESCollectivity event this week to exchange with the research community about behaviour of complex living systems. #EVOLVEproject
Thanks @events.embl.org for this opportunity!

We had a blast at yesterday's #EESCollectivity pub quiz! Congrats to the winning team, Liquid Brains! 🏆🧠

We're looking forward to another insightful day at the conference 🙌

Welcome to 'Collectivity in living systems'! During the next few days we'll explore coordination, cooperation, emergence, and decision-making in systems ranging from bacterial biofilms and cell migration to tissue formation, disease models, and animal behaviour. Let's go! 🙌 #EESCollectivity

Join the EMBO | EMBL Symposium "Collectivity in living systems: emergence, function, and evolution" taking place at EMBL in Heidelberg, with the option to participate virtually, from 24-27 Feb 2026.
