This workshop aims to systematize theories of bundled modalities across logic subfields, exploring their general properties, computational advantages, and applications. The workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue to establish bundled modalities as a cohesive paradigm in logic. bit.ly/3NkPi9f
In times of crisis, play often emerges as a vital response for dealing with highly uncertain, precarious and unfathomable conditions. This workshops works on the development of a prototype for playful strategies in crisis. bit.ly/416rKI9
@apolitopoulos.bsky.social
This workshop brings together mathematicians, philosophers, computer scientists, and experimental neuroscientists to identify either missing or ill-directed trends in neuroscience and ask new questions toward a new paradigm.

How do we turn distributed AI infrastructure into a unified scientific instrument?
The winner of the 2026 eScience Center-Lorentz Competition—"Beyond Models"—aims to do just that. The team will host an intensive workshop at @LorentzCenter w/ dedicated support from our #RSEs. Congrats to the team! 🎉
Congratulations to Azza Ahmed, Thomas Abeel, Raymond Oonk and Arnaud Renard for winning the eScience Center-Lorentz Competition 2025 with their proposal 'Beyond Models: Distributed AI Infrastructure as a Scientific Instrument'.
