Interdisciplinary Summer School 2026 | Valencia (Spain) 12-19 July

What is the nature of cognition across different systems? What is the origin of life? What makes AI systems work? How should we think about causality? What makes an idea, a method or a model truly rigorous? Come join an intellectual vacation in the Mediterranean city of Valencia on 12-19 July where you will be able to delve into these questions alongside a vibrant group of like-minded participants from a wide range of disciplines.
