Summary/Abstract: Gatherings in Biosemiotics has been held annually since 2001. The restrictions related to the corona virus pandemic changed the circumstances and the form of the event in 2020 (Kull 2021a, 2021b; Rodríguez H., Lacková 2021). It was also difficult for universities to organize conferences the following year. Looking for a place for 2021, we found it at the kind Bateson Institute in Sweden. The center is headed by Nora Bateson (Gregory Bateson's daughter), she previously had connections with some biosemioticists (V. Alexander, L. Bruni, K. Kull), and then she became the hostess of this meeting. In preparation for the conference, a semi-salon was organized in Tartu's Baer house on July 13, 2021 (Chávez Barreto et al. 2022). While the program of the annual conference is usually put together by local organizers, this time the main organizational work was done by Donald Favareau, vice president of the Biosemiotics Society, while he was in Singapore.
