Welcome to the NORA Annual Conference 2025, at Byparken in Halden on 2-3 June. Several prominent names within AI have already been confirmed as keynote speakers, and the rest of the program will be announced shortly. Find information below on important dates and deadlines, registration details and more - see you there!
We are pleased to invite you to the Workshop titled "Embracing Complexity - Principled and Practical Approaches to Emergence". The workshop is scheduled for June 23-27 2025 at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC in Spanish) in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
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.
The NERDS (NEtwoRks, Data, and Society) team at the IT University of Copenhagen welcomes applications from aspiring PhD students and postdocs in the areas of Data Science, Mathematical Modeling, and Network Science with applications to inference, forecasting, and mitigation in future epidemics. Starting date 1 September 2025 or soon thereafter.
The second chapter of this trilogy is focused on understanding what many consider to be the canonical model of relational biology, (M,R)-systems. As we will see, this model lacks an adequate biological interpretation, so it is necessary to extend Rosen's ideas to the biochemical realm if we really want to understand what life is.
The Computational School on Modeling Social and collective behavior (COSMOS) will take place in RIKEN, Tokyo, between 29 Sept - 3 Oct. Application deadline is 25th April.
