 Introduction:  
  Parabolic models for chemotaxis processes have continuously been attracting considerable interest throughout the past decades. Refinements and further developments of approaches have facilitated not only a noticeably deep understanding of simple prototypical systems of Keller-Segel type, but also insightful exploration of models at increasing levels of complexity. The investigation of key issues related to the occurrence or the absence of singularity formation has been providing answers to core questions of application relevance, and has beyond this independently been stimulating the analysis of parabolic systems in more general. The purpose of the proposed special session is to discuss recent results in the analysis of chemotaxis systems, and to showcase methodological advances in this area. By including both application-oriented and theoretical aspects, and by bringing together both young and experienced researchers, it is intended to stimulate and newly initiate expedient future developments in this active field of study at the borderline between mathematics and science.
