DESCRIPTION:Synchronization and cooperation among elementary agents\, lead
 ing to coordination over length scales much larger than the size of the in
 dividual agents\, is at the root of important biological functions.\n\nMul
 ticellular organisms rely on the coordinated action of individual cells\, 
 but interesting instances of emergent cooperative behaviour are already ob
 served in unicellular organisms.\n\nWe will discuss some recent results on
  emergent cooperative behaviour in unicellular ciliates\, from spatio-temp
 oral coordination of molecular motors in the flagellar beat\, to cooperati
 ve feeding flows in spontaneously assembled groups of organisms counting m
 any individuals.
