The European Astrobiology Institute (EAI) Summer School, titled "Biosignatures and the Search For Life on Mars (and other planets)", is scheduled for June 18–26, 2026, in Iceland. The program focuses on identifying life in various environments, including early Earth, subsurface Earth, and Mars, through a mix of lectures and field studies.
The Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) Summer School in Complexity and Emergence in Economic and Social Systems offers graduate students and professionals intensive training in complex system tools. The program features lectures and hands-on coding (Python) covering agent-based modeling, network analysis, and AI to study economic dynamics.
This workshop is a specialized event held at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, on June 4-5, 2026. It explores alternatives to the traditional "mind as computer" view in cognitive science, featuring talks on the philosophy of biological brains.
The NERDS (NEtwoRks, Data, and Society) team at the IT University of Copenhagen welcomes applications from aspiring postdocs in the areas of Data Science, Mathematical Modeling, and Network Science with applications to inference, forecasting, and mitigation in future epidemics. Starting in September 2026 or soon thereafter.
The Belgrade School on Complex Systems (BeComplex 2026) is an international workshop organized by the Faculty of Physics at the University of Belgrade. It is scheduled to take place from June 21 to June 27, 2026. The event is designed to bring together global experts across diverse fields—including physics, biology, economics, and neuroscience—to explore the common motifs of complex systems.
Autotelic Creative Artificial Intelligence (ACAI) refers to AI systems that are intrinsically motivated to set, pursue, and achieve their own goals, driven by curiosity and play rather than predefined external rewards.
