IUBS Participants
The International Union of Biological Societies
asked C.H. Waddington to organise a series of
conferences entitled, Towards a Theoretical Biology.
Four consecutive annual summer conferences took place at
the Villa Serbelloni on Lake Como. These have been very
stimulating to the creation of complexity theory. Here
is a compilation of the participants in the four meetings.
