The events programme.
The conferences, seminars and salons of Thinking About Thinking are the principal instruments by which the institution does its work. Some are public; some are by application; some are by invitation. Each is, in our experience, the better for being convened in person.
7th International Conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI
Our peer-reviewed scientific conference. Submission-led, selective, oriented toward open problems and rigorous exchange across neuroscience, machine learning, applied mathematics and the foundations of intelligence.

Fellowship
The standing society of fellows and ambassadors, distributed across more than 200 cities. Members gather in person at seminars, conferences and salons; the institution is held together, between gatherings, by correspondence.
