<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Each year’s DISI has a special thematic focus, which is reflected in additional faculty emphasis and a working group. The 2025 focus is
<b>AI and the Natural World</b>; in other words, how AI can inform our understanding of living systems (e.g., animals, plants, ecosystems) and how living systems can inspire new directions in AI. If your work connects with this focus, please let us know! However,
most participants will not connect with the annual focus, so please don’t let the topic deter you from applying. We welcome applications from scholars working on any and all aspects of mind, cognition, and intelligence; indeed, they will make up the majority
of admitted participants. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">To enrich the conversation, we also recruit several “storytellers” (artists, writers, filmmakers, etc.) who participate in the intellectual life of the institute
while pursuing related creative projects. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We’re looking for open-minded participants who want to take intellectual risks and break down disciplinary barriers in the spirit of dialogue and discovery. We hope
that this creative community will work together to develop new ways of engaging with big questions about mind, cognition, and intelligences. You can read more about DISI—including previous iterations—on our website:
