<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px">Systems as different as the cellular cytoskeleton, microbial communities in soil, and savanna landscapes have in common the emergence of patterns: random yet organized spatial structures that form in
an otherwise translationally invariant space. These structures emerge due to the local, individual-level interactions of agents – proteins, cells, trees – that, on a larger scale, result in nonlinear dynamics for the density field. Crucial phenomena hinge
on the formation of these patterns: mitosis, embryo development, bacterial population survival, ecosystem’s robustness to aridification.</span></p>
<p class="x_text-build-content" style="line-height:24px; margin:10px 0"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px">While broadly different in scale, these systems can be theoretically described by similar statistical physics frameworks, an approach
pioneered by Alan Turing in 1952 and still the focus of very active development. The goal of this school is to bring together experts on these different systems using mathematical modeling, experimental approaches and modern data-driven techniques to engage
in an interdisciplinary dialogue about pattern formation in living systems.</span></p>
