 Introduction:  
  The analysis of reaction-diffusion systems has been playing an essential role in the understanding of population dynamics at macroscopic levels. Accordingly, various classes of parabolic problems have been at the core of a meanwhile considerable number of models for spatio-temporal evolution processes at virtually all length- and timescales, where especially also certain cross-diffusive mechanisms have turned out to be essential ingredients for adequate descriptions in numerous cases. In this special session it is planned to inspire a discourse on recent developments in this persistently growing area, and to stimulate an exchange of ideas and especially of different analytical approaches. A special focus will be on the discussion of methodological aspects and on an appropriate balance between presentations of experienced experts on the one hand, and the inclusion of young researchers on the other.
