An abundance of systems has been studied as potential models of artificial life: from classical discrete cellular automata, to their randomized versions such as random Boolean networks, continuous systems including neural CAs or Lenia systems, or even simple programming languages. In this workshop, we would like to focus on the fundamental question of how to measure the complexity of such systems and detect emerging patterns within them. The conference will be held at EPFL Bernoulli Center.

\r\nAround 30% of cancers are preceded by chronic inflammation which occurs at the site where tumors will develop. However, whether this oncogenic process, particularly observed in the intestine, can be initiated by a specific immune cell population remains unknown. We recently identified two distinct effector T cell populations capable to initiate the oncogenic transformation of a healthy intestinal epithelium (Fesneau et al., Nat Immunol. 2024; Brewer et al., Nat. Rev. Canc. 2024), as well as the factors controlling their differentiation. By revealing the presence of tumorigenic T cells, this work opens a new field in oncology and immunology that will be key for both our understanding of the early steps of carcinogenesis and the development of prophylactic therapies against cancer.

We are pleased to announce that the second edition of the Summer School on “Numerical methods for random differential models” (NUMRAD26), will take place at the Bernoulli Center at EPFL, Lausanne (CH), from June 2nd to 5th, 2026.
\r\n
\r\nThe summer school will cover both introductory and advanced topics on numerical methods in the following areas: high-dimensional approximation, Gaussian processes, reduced order modeling for scientific machine learning, and mathematical finance. The up-to-date program of the summer school can be found at
\r\nhttps://numrad.epfl.ch/scientific-program/
\r\n
\r\nThe school is addressed to young mathematicians (PhD students, early postdoc researchers, and highly motivated master students), and it will consist in lectures delivered by world-wide renowned experts. Participants will have the chance to share their research during a poster session.
\r\n
\r\nThere are no registration fees, but the number of participants is limited. You can apply to the summer school by submitting the application form by February 13th 2026 at:
\r\nhttps://numrad.epfl.ch/registration/
\r\nApplicants will be informed of the admission decision by email within three weeks after the application deadline.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nThe event is funded by the Bernoulli Center at EPFL, the EDOC EPFL, and by the CSQI Chair.
\r\n
\r\nLooking forward to seeing you in Lausanne next June!
