GOettingen EMergent Minds: Winter School on Learning and Computation in Brains and Machines

Winter School Feb 15 – Mar 6, 2027
Registration open until Sep 1, 2026

This winter school brings together researchers from neuroscience, machine learning, information theory, and applied mathematics to study learning, computation, and representation in complex systems. Topics range from neural dynamics and synaptic plasticity to data-driven discovery of dynamical models, biologically inspired machine learning, information-theoretic approaches to causality, and experimental and data-analytic perspectives. The goal is to foster a shared understanding of how brains and machines learn, represent structure in the world, and give rise to coherent computation across scales.

The program will contain lectures from invited speakers and researchers from Göttingen, hands-on tutorials, a hackathon, lab tours, a poster session, and networking activities.
A Special session with a dedicated lecture on the Philosophy and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence.
No registration fees and applications are open until Sep 1 2026.
The Venue is the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization Am Faßberg 17, 37077 Göttingen
