Explore the fundamental principles of collective motion in this lecture from the ICTP-SAIFR School and Workshop on the Physics of Life. Professor Tomás S. Grigera from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, delivers the first class in a series on the statistical physics of collective motion, examining how physical principles govern coordinated movement in biological systems. This 92-minute session serves as an introduction to the interdisciplinary field that bridges physics and biology. Part of the March 24-30, 2025 workshop, this lecture establishes the theoretical framework needed to understand emergent behaviors in groups of organisms and cells.
