Connectionists: Spring School INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLEGE 2023: Invitation to Participate

[Herbert Jaeger]

The Interdisciplinary College (https://interdisciplinary-college.org/) 
is an annual one-week spring school, now in its 24th year. It offers a 
dense 4-track state-of-the-art course program in the wider sciences of 
intelligent/cognitive systems: Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, 
Psychology, Machine Learning, AI and Philosophy. The perspective and 
mission is decidedly interdisciplinary.

The 2023 event will take place in Guenne, Lake Moehne, Germany, on March 
12-17, 2023

Chairs: Elisabeth Zimmermann, Gregor Schöner

Each IK is centered on a *focus theme*. In 2023 the focus is on the role 
that physical interaction of an agent (with the environment, other 
agents, or its own body) plays for cognition. An offering of about 25 
courses (each course 4-6 hours) is grouped under the perspectives of 
Movement & Bodily Experience; Neural Dynamics and Grounded Cognition; 
Experiencing Self and Others; Engaging with Technology & Things.

The IK is also a unique social and networking event. Minds meet, music 
is played, and friends are made in long evening and night sessions in 
the welcoming conference site at Lake Moehne.

While the IK has traditionally been mainly a European event, 
participants from outside Europe are highly welcome!

Please visit https://interdisciplinary-college.org/ for the detailed 
program, venue and registration and everything else, including the IK's 
40-year history, and a totally seductive 6-min video on the startpage.
