The focus is on mathematical and computational modelling, integrating concepts and methods from mathematical psychology, computational psychiatry, computational neuroscience, computational social sciences, machine learning, and cultural evolution. Attendees
will benefit from talks from leading researchers and practical hands-on sessions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to receive career advice during social networking events and reflect critically about research practices in EDI sessions.</span></p>
