CASCB Satellite Symposium 2021
What can research on human and non-human animals learn from each other?
Insights from the study of collective behaviour
The idea for this satellite symposium was to build bridges between the computational social sciences community and the collective behaviour community and to draw connections between fundamental mechanisms of behaviour in human and non-human animals. The satellite symposium was hosted by the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz, Germany (CASCB Overview). We succeeded in bringing together a remarkable group of outstanding early career researchers who presented their exciting research along those lines, and discussed the connections with each other and the audience in a panel discussion at the end of the session.
