DESCRIPTION:Understanding how multicomponent systems self-organise to cont
 rol their emergent dynamics across spatial and temporal scales is a fundam
 ental problem with important applications in many areas\; from the design 
 of soft materials to the study of developmental biology. In this talk\, I 
 will discuss how we can use mathematical modelling to understand the role 
 of microscale physical interactions in the self-organisation of complex fl
 uids. I will illustrate this by presenting two examples. Firstly\, I will 
 discuss self-organization in stimuli-responsive polyelectrolyte gels surro
 unded by an ionic solution\; secondly\, I will discuss self-organization d
 uring collective migration of multicellular communities. Our results revea
 l hidden connections between these two initially disconnected applications
  hinting at the existence of general principles controlling self-organisat
 ion of both inanimate and living matter.
