Workshop theme and objectives :
Cheating is a perennial theme in our efforts to understand the ecology and
evolution of cooperation. Where are we now, and where do we go from here ?
Talks in this symposium will address cheating in a variety of empirical
systems, incorporating a diversity of theoretical approaches. Time will be
devoted to group discussions in which all attendees will be welcome to
participate. Friendly controversy is expected, and new collaborations are
intended ! Our goal is to create an “idea lab” that will break the ground
for the next few decades of research.
