The Qbio initiative at Institut Pasteur is organising a two-day symposium in Paris on December 12th and 13th 2022 which will cover the interplay between mechanics, evolution, morphogenesis and development. This symposium is meant to be an open platform for discussion between physicists, mathematicians and biologists on relevant biological questions, and to foster interactions between topics/systems which normally have few occasions to interact.

The meeting will be in a fully hybrid format, with an in-person audience and speakers, as well as a virtual audience and virtual talks.

Despite the format, we will maintain the possibility for interactions during breaks with the possibility to discuss with virtual or on site attendees – we’ll see whether this works !

LogIn please  🗝
Go to the main page and log in with GitHub. This will add you into the network graph of mechanics, morphogenesis and devo evo enthusiasts 💛 and allow you to discover your like-minded neighbours.
If you do not have a GitHub account yet, you can easily create one at https://github.com, providing your email address, user name and real name (full name is not obligatory but we recommend it.)

The online video room  🎥
will most likely be using Microsoft Teams. It will be monitored throughout the talk sessions so that online participants can post questions in the chat or raise their hand and join the discussion on camera. Our conference room has a great setup for hybrid conferencing, and we will be using several services to maintain great audio quality during the Q&A and discussion sessions.

Please register for the event by November 14 using this Google form, indicating if you will participate in person or online, and if you would like to join our morning sessions or only the afternoons. Morning sessions are informal discussions around coffee and a big white board (in person), and afternoon sessions will feature a series of talks (in person or online).
In person participation of morning sessions will be limited to around 30 people; and in person participation for the afternoon sessions will be limited to 100 people.

We will keep waiting lists – so please in case your plans change, edit your response in the Google form in case you can't attend anymore (in person). Thanks.

Please also add yourself to the MeMoDEvo graph to join our community as a part of the larger BrainWeb community. Once you logged in, your name should be an isolated dot flying around. Find it, click on it, and add your skills. That will start to create links with others, and you'll become part of the cluster of people sharing similar skills. Please keep the "memodevo" term in your skills panel to be part of the MeMoDEvo graph. You can learn more about others by clicking on their dots.
