It is my great pleasure to announce that a conference dedicated to the Free Energy Principle will take place on the \;17th February 2022\, \;at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain\, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin -- although taking place online -- titled "The Free Energy Principle: Science\, Tech and Philosophy".
An interesting fact is that\, although the Free Energy Principle had been published \;before\, the first time that the Free Energy Principle was presented to the world \;was at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain. Years after this\, we want to continue \;to play our small role. The \;Berlin \;School of Mind and Brain is renowned for its \;emphasis on an encouraging \;interdisciplinarity \;focusing \;on the interface between the humanities and behavioural sciences with the neurosciences. This conference brings philosophers and scientists to think together and share ideas and engage in \;constructive \;discussion about the free energy principle in this \;welcoming\, \;interdisciplinary \;environment. \;
