margin-top: 10px;\">The aim of crowd modelling is to propose mathematical representations and numerical methods for calculating the movement of simulated crowds in order to understand, reproduce or predict the behaviour of real crowds. This subject is at the interface of many disciplines, including mathematics, physics, biology, cognitive sciences and, of course, computer sciences. Because crowds generate visually fascinating patterns, computer graphics has proposed important contributions to the field from the outset, especially through the seminal work of Craig Reynolds who proposed the well-known Boids model in the late 80s to enable the visual effects of films such as Burton&#8217;s Batman Returns. Almost 40 years have passed.<br \/>\nIn this talk, I will put into perspective some recent results and advances in the field from a computer graphics perspective. I will present a variety of specific and recent contributions from our discipline to the field of crowd modelling, and why I think our community has major assets to shape the future of this research, well beyond the limits of the field of visual effects for cinema, touching on the safety of mass events, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 15px 15px 5px 15px; border-radius: 6px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex !important; flex-wrap: wrap !important; gap: 20px !important;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 0 0 30% !important; min-width: 250px !important; box-sizing: border-box !important;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\" src=\"https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Julien-Pettre-Inria-Center-of-Rennes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0;\"><strong>Julien Pettr\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0;\"><em>Senior Researcher<\/em>, Inria Centre at Rennes University<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 0 0 65% !important; min-width: 300px !important; box-sizing: border-box !important;\">\n<p><b>Biography<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 10px 0 5px 0;\">Julien Pettr\u00e9 is a computer scientist.
