Collective cell migration and pattern formation are entwined phenomena of immense fascination. Development, tissue repair and disease progression all involve coordination between cell movements, growth, and intercellular signalling processes. A better understanding of their interplay across different spatial and temporal scales will help improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The aim of this workshop is to draw together state of the art techniques within (i) the biological mechanisms that underpin processes of collective cell migration and pattern formation, (ii) the mathematical and computational models used to study these phenomena, and (iii) the analytical tools that can be used to unlock core properties contained within these models.

The workshop will focus on mathematical modelling for behaviour, with three main themes: (i) Abstraction of real-world systems into mathematical models: (ii) Societal response to policy; (iii) Data needs. Much of the workshop will consist of invited and contributed research talks, and we will hold dynamic panel-based discussion sessions around key topics including engagement with government and public communication of modelling. Another key topic for discussion during the workshop will be the international vision for the research area. This workshop will take a global perspective, seeking to develop a roadmap for how the discipline can develop in the medium- and long-term. The strong interdisciplinary focus will aptly position workshop attendees to help steer the future development of the maths of human behaviour as a research area (with interdisciplinarity, internationalism and impact at the forefront).
