[Kate Nave]

Dear All,

We would like to announce the following workshop on formal approaches to consciousness studies organised by the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science’:

Modelling Consciousness Workshop<https://2023.modelling-consciousness.org/>
Models of consciousness are hypotheses about how consciousness relates to the physical domain. Various different and competing models exist, for example Integrated Information Theory, Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, Predictive Processing Theory, Higher Order Thought Theory or Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory.

This workshop brings together researchers with a deep interest in the scientific study of consciousness to discuss topics regarding the use of mathematical formalisation in addressing questions about consciousness and of the mind-matter relation.

The workshop takes place in a mountain cabin in the Austrian alps in Dorfgastein from March 18th to 25th, 2023. Unlike usual workshops and conferences, the focus is not placed upon presentation of recent results, but on creating an atmosphere that stimulates discussion of open questions and new ideas concerning models of consciousness.

The workshop is aimed at researchers of any age who are interested in the problems discussed in contemporary consciousness studies.

The deadline for applications is January 15th, 2023. Application details can be found on our website given above.

It would be wonderful to see you there!

Best wishes on behalf of the workshop organising committee,


Ian Durham (Saint Anselm College)
Johannes Kleiner (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)
Robin Lorenz (Quantinuum)
Tim Ludwig (Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University)
Kathryn (Kate) Nave (The University of Edinburgh)
Sean Tull (Quantinuum)
