Abstract
Two symposia on theoretical biology were held in 1966 and 1967 at the instigation of the International Union of Biological Sciences. The meetings were organized by Professor Waddington, and in this article he outlines some of the points discussed at the meetings. The essays arising from the first symposium have recently been published under the title Towards a Theoretical Biology.
