Dear colleagues,

We would like to announce the EMBO workshop "Evolution
and origins of multicellularity across the tree of life"
(https://meetings.embo.org/event/25-multicellularity) that we are
organizing this October (9-11 Oct) in Barcelona, Spain.

Multicellular life forms—such as animals, plants, and fungi—have
independently and uniquely evolved across various branches of the tree
of life. Are there any common principles that underlie the organization
of these multicellular organisms? What factors—environmental, genetic,
ecological—shape the trajectories of multicellular evolution?

To explore these questions, we are hosting a three-day workshop that
brings together researchers studying diverse multicellular systems, from
bacteria to organoids. In addition to invited talks, the program will
include oral and poster presentations selected from general submissions.

For more details on the program and invited speakers, please visit:
https://meetings.embo.org/event/25-multicellularity

You can also register for the event through this website.

If you have any interest in the evolution of multicellularity, we warmly
encourage you to join us. We would also greatly appreciate it if you
could share this information with anyone else who might be interested.

Travel support is available for students, and we especially welcome
active participation from student attendees.

We will be happy to see you in our beautiful venue of the PRBB or online.
The deadline for abstract application is June 1st. If you need more time,
email us at multicellverse-org@ibe.upf-csic.es and we will try to adjust
our timelines.

Feel free to spread the news among your contacts.

If you have any questions regarding the organization or scientific agenda,
let us know.

Best,

Multicellverse Team
(multicellverse-org@ibe.upf-csic.es)
