An international research team led by the #UniKonstanz Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour and Oxford Brookes University concludes that gentle touch is not only good for mental health, but also for the evolution of cooperation: t1p.de/a8ena MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Looking for a PhD position on an exciting interdisciplinary project on modelling #collectiveBehaviour in natural and artificial systems? Join Andrew King at Swansea University and benefit from supervision by experts in behavioural ecology, #swarmRobotics, math & computational models

Thank you, Andrea Lama, for visiting us at Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour and presenting your cool research on #multiagent #shepherding done at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale with Mario di Bernardo We hope you had a good time in Konstanz! Looking forward to your next studies 🤖🐶🐑🐑🐶

Wonderful start to 2025, welcoming visiting students marco fele from Andrew King and Lluc Bono from IRIDIA, ULB to Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour! They’ll spend the next few months exploring different aspects of #collectiveBehaviour, from group motion to an emergent music orchestra. Stay tuned 🎶😎

We are delighted to welcome Michael Smith Michael Smith back to Konstanz for today’s CASCB talk on: "Nest design, construction, and spatial organization in the superorganism nest"! Join us here: exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… Universität Konstanz Auburn University
