International Society for Biosemiotic Studies

The International Society for Biosemiotic Studies is an organization dedicated to exploring how meaning and communication occur in living systems. Biosemiotics is the study of signs, signals, and information exchange in biology, from cells to complex organisms. The society brings together researchers from various fields to investigate how life processes involve semiotic activities—patterns of information transfer that underpin growth, behavior, and evolution. Its goal is to deepen understanding of the informational aspects of life, emphasizing that biological phenomena are not just physical but also imbued with meaning and interpretative processes.
