Researchers on Plant Physiology, Entomology, Engineering, Physics and Medicine are commonly considered to belong to different worlds. But the dynamics of processes that are shared by the living organisms (originated from the same event that brought the life on Earth) are much more similar than one would have been willing to believe.

Can plants discriminate between self and non-self?
Does it exist a leitmotiv linking insects, animals, men, plants, and robots?

This meeting has the aim to bring toghether Researchers from different fields, in order to compare different knowledge and achieve significant results.
