This is a collection of data published by members of the Cluster of Excellence "Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour (CASCB)" at the University of Konstanz. The cluster and its projects are funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany's Excellence Strategy – EXC 2117 – 422037984. The collection aims to serve as a data publication list without claiming to be complete. 

Our research is interdisciplinary in scope – combining biology, social psychology, behavioural economics, sociology, physics, mathematics and computer science – but united in a quantitative approach that involves extensive collection and sophisticated analysis of empirical data.

At the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour, we aim to create a global hotspot for the integrated study of collective behaviour across a wide range of species and across scales of organization. We are a Cluster of Excellence within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments.

As a collaboration between the University of Konstanz and the co-located Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, we harness substantial expertise in the local region to create a synergistic, interdisciplinary environment for the study of collective behaviour that will be unmatched by any institution around the world. Combining transdisciplinary research with emerging technologies, we are creating a crucible in which the ideas and methods of tomorrow will be forged.
