  • Benjamin Alt (Universität Bremen), “Hybrid AI for Safe Embodied Intelligence”

    Guest Lecture
    Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

    Enabling robots to perform complex manipulation tasks in open-world environments requires approaches to intelligence that bridge the traditional divide between symbolic and subsymbolic systems. Hybrid systems that combine reasoning over symbolic knowledge with probabilistically approximately correct inference over probability distributions promise to make robot manipulation actions generalizable, interpretable, and scalable to address real-world challenges. This

  • Hublet at SCIoI: Winter Conference of the Association For the Study of Animal Behavior (ASAB)

    External Event
    Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

    How does sensory information shape animal behaviour? This year’s Winter Conference of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) takes on one of the most intriguing questions in behavioural biology: how animals perceive, interpret, and act on information from their environment. From camouflage to communication, from primate foraging to the “linguistics” of animals,

  • Vladislav Golyanik (MPI for Informatics), “Egocentric 4D Vision with Conventional and Event Cameras”

    Guest Lecture
    Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

    4D computer vision using egocentric visual sensors on head-mounted devices (such as Aria glasses) is gaining momentum. While substantial progress has been made in recent years, various open challenges remain in the field, including robust 3D human and hand pose estimation from egocentric cameras, optimal egocentric camera placement, real-time processing, and fulfilling ergonomic and power

  • Girls’ Day 2026

    For the Public

    What is intelligence, and how can research help improve current technologies with new insights? At Girls’ Day with the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence, you’ll discover how scientists from many different disciplines explore the topic of intelligence. You’ll paint pictures with your eyes, play with a robot, learn how to teach robots new skills,

  • Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2026, Excellent Pub Quiz

Exciting prizes

  • Martin Korth (Universität Münster), “Five philosophical problems that most likely matter for the science of intelligence”

    Guest Lecture
    Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

    Sub-symbolic deep neural network based artificial intelligence (AI) systems run into all sorts of problems, especially with hallucinations and in general with reliability. One way to conceptualize this is to understand sub-symbolic AI to lack proper world models, i.e. some type of mapping of what’s supposedly real and what’s not -- though it might be

  • The 18th International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2026)

    Conference
    Jazzinstitut, Georg-Neumann Saal, Universität der Künste Berlin (UDK) Einsteinufer 43 -53, Berlin, Germany

    The 18th International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2026) brings together researchers from artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, psychology, behavioral biology, artificial life, control theory, and related disciplines to explore the principles underlying adaptive behavior in natural and artificial systems. The conference is part of the ISAB “From Animals to Animats” conference series

  • Cross-Kingdom Intelligence Symposium 2026

    Symposium
    Jazzinstitut, Georg-Neumann Saal, Universität der Künste Berlin (UDK) Einsteinufer 43 -53, Berlin, Germany

    What, if anything, do animals, plants, fungi, and machines have in common when they sense their environments, process information, adapt, and generate behavior? And when, if ever, should we call these capacities intelligence? Join us in exploring these questions at the Cross-Kingdom Intelligence Symposium! Participation in the Symposium is free of charge, but registration is

  • SCIoI at Zeiss Großplanetarium: Between Glances – The Hidden Dynamics of Vision

    For the Public
    Zeiss-Großplanetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 Berlin

    Vision is a highly dynamic process. With every movement of our eyes, perception shifts: attention moves ahead, visual information is enhanced or suppressed, and our impressions are continuously reconstructed. The fact that we nevertheless experience the world as stable is one of the brain’s most remarkable achievements. In the immersive setting of the planetarium dome,

  • Wissen zwischen Büchern – SCIoI goes to the public library

    The Wissen zwischen Büchern project brings researchers into local communities, creating opportunities to share their work and engage in face-to-face conversations with the public. On 6 November at 1 pm, our researchers Julie Ouerfelli-Ethier and Ole Hall will visit the Stadtbibliothek Reinickendorf – Humboldt-Bibliothek (Karolinenstraße 19, 13507 Berlin) to demonstrate how our eyes and brain

  • SCIoI at the Berlin Clusters of Excellence Science Slam 2026

    For the Public
    Roadrunner's Paradise Saarbrücker Str. 24 10405 Berlin Germany

    As part of Berlin Science Week, Science of Intelligence will once again join the Berlin Clusters of Excellence Science Slam on 6 November 2026. This much-loved tradition, hosted by Berlin’s seven Clusters of Excellence (SCIoI, MATH+, UniSysCat, SCRIPTS, Neurocure, Temporal Communities, Matters of Activity) transforms complex research into lively and entertaining performances. Representing SCIoI, Oussama Zenkri will take the stage
