SUMMARY:Cross-Kingdom Intelligence Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION: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? \nJoin us in exploring these questions at the Cross-Kingdom Intelligence Symposium! \nParticipation in the Symposium is free of charge\, but registration is required. If you are not registered for SAB 2026\, you can register for the symposium by contacting communication@scioi.de \n\nClick here for detailed program. \nThe Cross-Kingdom Intelligence Symposium brings together researchers working across biological and artificial systems to explore a central question: \nWhen we observe information processing\, adaptive behavior\, and flexible responses across radically different systems\, are we seeing manifestations of a common phenomenon or distinct phenomena that share certain components or organizational principles? \nAnimals\, plants\, and fungi differ radically in their physical organization\, sensory capacities\, and ways of interacting with the environment. Yet all must respond to changing conditions and coordinate processes in ways that support survival and adaptation. Artificial systems provide a further\, fundamentally different point of comparison. \nCould similar challenges give rise to mechanisms that share common organizational principles\, despite being realized in entirely different biological or artificial substrates? Which similarities are deep\, and which are only superficial? And do such comparisons justify speaking of intelligence across kingdoms and machines or do they reveal several distinct phenomena that should remain conceptually separate? \nThese questions also turn the comparison back onto artificial intelligence: What can biological systems teach us about the components and principles associated with intelligent behavior\, and where might analogies between biological and artificial systems break down? \nThe symposium brings together expert perspectives from animal behavior\, plant behavior and information processing\, fungal biology\, and artificial intelligence. Rather than presupposing a single definition\, or even a single phenomenon\, of intelligence\, the session uses comparison across systems to ask which capacities and principles they genuinely share\, where important differences lie\, and what these comparisons can tell us about intelligence itself. \nThe presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and an open Q&A with the audience. \n\nInvited Speakers\nThe symposium brings together four invited speakers\, each contributing a distinct perspective on intelligence and adaptive behavior across biological and artificial systems. \nPaco Calvo — Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Murcia and Director of the Minimal Intelligence Lab (MINT Lab)\, with a research focus on plant cognition and intelligence. \nJens Krause — Behavioral biologist whose research explores collective intelligence\, decision-making\, and coordination in animal groups. \nVera Meyer — Professor at Technische Universität Berlin working at the intersection of fungal biotechnology\, art\, design\, and architecture. \nUte Schmid — Professor of Cognitive Systems at the University of Bamberg and Executive Director of the Bamberg Center for Artificial Intelligence\, with a focus on cognitive systems and explainable AI. \n___ \nModerated by Oliver Brock — Roboticist whose research explores embodied intelligence and how intelligent behavior emerges through interactions between body\, environment\, and control. \nMeet the invited speakers → \n  \n

SUMMARY:SCIoI at Zeiss Großplanetarium: Between Glances – The Hidden Dynamics of Vision
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn the immersive setting of the planetarium dome\, SCIoI PI Martin Rolfs and alumna Nina Hanning will bring these hidden dynamics of vision to life on an entirely new scale. We invite the audience to take part in a live experiment in which cutting-edge research is experienced together. \nSpeakers\nMartin Rolfs\nProfessor of General Psychology: Active Perception and Cognition at the Department of Psychology\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin\, and Principal Investigator at the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence. \nNina Hanning\nHead of the FreeView Research Group at the Department of Psychology\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin\, and alumna of the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence. \nModerator\nDr. Jochen Müller \nAbout Berlin Brains\nBerlin Brains is a joint event series organized by Urania Berlin\, Stiftung Planetarium Berlin\, the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin\, the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin\, the NeuroCure and Science of Intelligence Clusters of Excellence\, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute\, the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association\, Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1315\, Collaborative Research Centre Transregio TRR 295 ReTune\, and Collaborative Research Centre TRR 384 IN-CODE. \nAdmission is free. Tickets can be booked online through Urania Berlin. Please collect your complimentary tickets from the evening box office by 7:15 p.m. \nImage: ©Designed by Freepik

SUMMARY:SCIoI at the Berlin Clusters of Excellence Science Slam 2026
DESCRIPTION: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. \nRepresenting SCIoI\, Oussama Zenkri will take the stage with his talk:\n“Artificial Intelligence: Now With Vision\, Language\, and Absolutely No Clue.” \nIn just six fast-paced minutes\, he will explore what today’s AI systems can see and say—and what they still fail to understand. Expect humor\, sharp insights\, and creative science communication as researchers from Berlin’s Clusters of Excellence compete for the audience’s vote. \nAt the end of the evening\, the audience will decide which slammer takes home the title. \nStay tuned for more infos! \n
