 Introduction:  
  Emergence is a phenomenon of self-organization in systems governed by local interactions between agents. It appears relevant in many different contexts including swarming behavior of animals, technological applications such as control, as well as social networking. This session will highlight new research developments in the subject and aims to gather specialists working on a broad range of models of collective dynamics on agent-based, kinetic, and hydrodynamic levels of description.
