ALTENBERG WORKSHOPS IN THEORETICAL BIOLOGY
The Altenberg Workshops are meetings focused on a key issue of biological theory. All workshops are organized by leading experts in their field, who invite a group of international top level scientists as participants.
The meetings are fully sponsored by the KLI and have only one requirement: The organizers are requested to generate a book on the workshop topic. These are not conference proceedings but edited books which further develop in their chapters the novel ideas and concepts that were produced at the meeting. The organizers of each workshop will act as the editors of the book, but the contributors are not necessarily limited to the original participants and may be complemented by experts on those topics that emerged to be important for the respective issue.
By this procedure the KLI intends to generate new conceptual advances and research initiatives in the bio-sciences, which, due to their explicit interdisciplinary nature, are attractive to a wide variety of scientists from practically all fields of biology and the neighboring disciplines. The expertise of the selected editors and authors guarantees a high quality of the books. They are fully reviewed and, if accepted, published by MIT Press as part of their "Vienna Series in Theoretical Biology".
