The 2024 edition of the LSC Meeting, “A Multitude of Times,” will focus on time and its declinations within social, biological, and physical systems. The scope of this in-person 4 day-long meeting is to bring together scientists from the LSC Committee with invited experts and the IHES scientists to present the latest progress in understanding time as a multifaceted concept and its many implications on different aspects of life. The idea is to fuel discussions, brainstorm, and explore alternative paths toward understanding how the multitude of ways we can conceive time contribute together to the richness of Biology and Cognitive processes.
