“Live call” between Alexander Gerst and guests at Mainau Island on 9 October 2018. The ICARUS antenna was attached to the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) during a spacewalk on 15 August 2018. On 24 July, the foundation stone for the Center for Visual Computing of Collectives (VCC) was laid. The new top-level research centre for the study of collective animal behaviour will open in 2021.

Collective behaviour and early career researcher Dr Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin begins her work as the first Gips-Schüle Junior Research Group Leader at the University of Konstanz with long-term funding from the Gips-Schüle foundation

Biologists from the University of Konstanz produce evidence of parallel evolution in Nicaraguan crater lake

On 24 July 2018, the foundation stone was laid for the “Center for Visual Computing of Collectives” (VCC), a new top-level research centre at the University of Konstanz for the study of swarming and collective behaviour. The joint exploration of collective behaviour by biologists and computer scientists is one example of the interdisciplinary approach adopted by the University of Konstanz.

A team of University of Konstanz biologists led by Professor Axel Meyer shows that evolutionary outcomes can be predicted: In a new publication in the journal “Evolution Letters”, they are able to identify some of the factors that contribute to recurrent patterns of diversity and similarity in cichlids.
