PROGRAM PsiPhi 2026 Gathering
PsiPhi 2026 is an interdisciplinary gathering centred on connections across physics and neighbouring areas of science. Rather than focusing primarily on conventional presentations of completed work, the programme combines short scientific perspectives, participant-proposed provocations, mixed-expertise discussions and collaborative exploration of open questions.
Themes may include entropy, information, correlations, complexity, open dynamics, quantum and statistical physics, biophysics, emerging technologies, sustainability and the broader role of science in society.
Part of the programme will be shaped by participants before the meeting. Participants will be invited to propose short discussion abstracts built around an open question, conceptual puzzle, unexpected connection or interdisciplinary challenge. Selected contributions will introduce questions for collective discussion rather than simply presenting completed results.
