ACM Collective Intelligence 2025 brings together a wide range of disciplines to discuss the shared or group intelligence that emerges when individuals work together, often with the help of technology. This year’s theme focuses on Diverse Intelligence. We invite research and perspectives on how we can deeply understand and build systems that incorporate animal, human, machine and hybrid intelligence to achieve a level of problem-solving capability that surpasses the abilities of any single member.
Rarely do researchers have this opportunity to interact with such a broad range of disciplines—cognitive science, philosophy, ecology, biology, computer science, anthropology, organizational science, network science, sociology, economics, business, and many others. Join us to advance our collective understanding of how to harness our collective abilities.

A team of researchers from the IT University of Copenhagen and Google, Zurich are bringing their love for self-organising systems to the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, a leading conference in its field that will place in July 2025 in Málaga, Spain. The workshop will feature posters from participants, invited talks and tutorials by the organisers.

This FREE event brings together a wide range of speakers to discuss the many challenges and opportunities in Embodied Intelligence research! The conference is structured with a morning session and afternoon session each day to accommodate different time zones. Each session includes plenary talks, panel discussions (including flash talks by leading researchers), and breakout sessions as shown in the tentative programme. While plenary and panel speakers are invitation-only, we solicit wider contributions in breakout sessions to facilitate more focused and technical discussions. In addition to traditional conference talks for all prominent and young academics, this year we will be running masterclasses when all participants can come and talk to leading researcher in all fields of Robotic exploration.

Disorder plays a central role in the theoretical description of a rich variety of systems spanning several disciplines — soft and hard condensed matter, biology, information science and engineering. Today, there is a surplus of enthusiastic and capable students with a diverse background who are eager to receive systematic training on powerful theoretical methods and exciting recent developments in the field. One of the goals of our school is to reach a broad audience that includes students interested in complexity or bio-inspired applications, as well as information science and quantum materials. Our school will establish a common forum where theories of general interest can be learned and discussed, catalyze the nucleation of new research lines in São Paulo and Brazil, and expose students to a full breadth of intellectual opportunity in the field of disordered systems.

As a São Paulo School of Advanced Science, funds are available for travel and local expenses of Master’s and PhD students from not only South America but also from other continents.

The National Autonomous University of Mexico, via its Research Group on Philosophy of Computing, is proud to invite you to participate in the International Conference on Anticipatory Systems and Rosennean Complexity.

Inaugurated by Dr. Robert Rosen, Anticipatory Systems Theory deals with how systems with the ability to anticipate model and act on future states. This conference aims to address anticipation in its many forms, including its philosophical, biological, cognitive, and technological dimensions. This year (2025) will also mark the 40th anniversary of the original publication of Rosen’s “Anticipatory Systems: Philosophical, Mathematical, and Methodological Foundations”, an occasion that we shall celebrate in our conference.

This conference is focused on Robert Rosen’s ideary and notions of life, complexity, modeling, and mind.
