KLI Colloquium: Andrew S. YANG (Chicago Art Institute), 21 October 2019, 5.00 pm

The year 2025 marks the centenary of Rupert Riedl, the founding president of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI), which itself was established 35 years ago in 1990. Since its inception, the KLI has played a pivotal role in supporting research in theoretical biology. To commemorate this milestone, the KLI hosted a day-long symposium on 16 June 2025, under the theme "What is Theoretical Biology?" The event commenced with a welcome address by KLI President Philipp Mitteroecker, followed by a keynote lecture from Honorary President Gerd Müller, titled, "Rupert Riedl and the Austrian School of Theoretical Biology." Prof. Müller’s talk provided historical context for the academic environment in which Riedl developed his interest in theoretical biology and introduced key concepts of his theoretical approach to evolution. The symposium featured several distinguished speakers who explored different dimensions of theoretical biology. (Click on title to read more.)
