A short history of Gatherings in Biosemiotics

Summary/Abstract: One gloomy day in 2000 Claus Emmeche called me to tell that Kalevi Kull would stop over in Copenhagen later that day on his way back to Tartu. We immediately arranged to meet with him in my office at the Molecular Biology Institute. Neither I, nor Claus I suppose, had any idea of what was on Kalevi’s mind, but knowing Kalevi as I do now I should of course have anticipated that this visit would lead to lots of unpredicted work. After the usual talk of this and that Kalevi – en passant – suggested that perhaps the time had come to organize some meetings that would focus on biosemiotics from the biology angle rather than from the semiotics angle. And this suggestion then became the birth of Gatherings in Biosemiotics.
