Applications are invited to an all-expenses paid position at a 5-day
"IdeasLab"* workshop to be held near Prague CZ in June 2022. Thirty
successful applicants will be drawn in equal number from the relevant
sectors biological evolution, A-Life anbd theoretical physics. The week's
activities will lead these thirty to form interdisciplinary teams which
each propose how they can advance frontiers of abiogenesis research. Up to
$5 million total funding will be available for developing these ideas
produced by the week's activities. Further details of the event,
including the online application form, are found at the link posted above

Several sessions and workshops will be held within five focus groups, and one common theme: mountain research.

The summer school will take place in Obergurgl, in the middle of the Austrian Alps, September 5-9.

Abstract submission is now open, until February 16th: https://www.imc2022.info/summerschool/

The summer school takes place in the context of the International Mountain Conference 2022, Innsbruck, Austria: https://www.imc2022.info/

Please feel free to spread the word among potentially interested colleagues and PhD students.
