The 29th Advanced School in Life Sciences on Neuroscience Unleashed is an elite international neuroscience school, set to take place at Israel Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from July 20-24, 2025. This immersive five-day program will bring together some of the world’s most renowned experts to explore the cutting edge of neuroscience research.

The last chapter of the present trilogy turns out to be a miscellany of modern approaches to relational biology, all of them focused on capturing the temporal nature of living systems. As we shall see, although independent, all these results point to a general theory of biological organization. Rosen's dream.

7 July - 25 July 2025, Fred Kavli Knowledge Center, Eresfjord, Norway.

Collective behaviour is all around us from flocks of birds to schools of fish to human crowds. Collective behaviour happens across multiple spatial and temporal scales making it one of the most ubiquitous, natural phenomena around us. For a long time, organismal collective behaviour has been studied separately across many disciplines from biology to ecology to physics to engineering. The aim of this school is to bring multiple disciplinary approaches to collective behaviour, studying a wide variety of organisms using different methods. The school thus aims to prepare the next generation of scientists that are exposed to a breadth of approaches to study collective behaviour.

We invite authors to submit papers through the Gecco submission system focused on evolving self-organization. This workshop is part of the GECCO conference that will take place in Málaga, Spain from July 14 to July 18.
