Evolution, development and mechanics: evodevmec2026

EvoDevMec Workshop – Integrating mechanics into developmental biology

When: 2-5 Nov 2026

Where: Paris, France

This workshop explores how physical constraints and biophysical modelling shape embryonic development alongside genetic mechanisms, advancing the emerging field of EvoDevMec.

Bringing together biologists, physicists, and mathematicians, the event will foster informal discussions (chalk talks) on experimental systems, theoretical frameworks, and interdisciplinary approaches, encouraging exchange of ideas, including ongoing and unpublished work.

Where: Université Paris Cité, Paris
When: 2–5 November 2026
Limited to 30 participants (PhD to senior level)
No registration fee (lunch and coffee breaks included)
