To whom it may concern,
My name is Carlos Zapata, I am the founder and president of the Society for Multidisciplinary and Fundamental Research (recently registered as a non-profit), and currently a postdoc in mathematics and computer science. We have launched our main yearly event, a summer school intended for students and researchers of all backgrounds and education levels to learn about a wide range of topics, exploring many traditionally distant disciplines while socializing with like-minded peers in a dynamic and creative environment. Here is all the information:

We believe that members of the Foundational Questions Institute may be interested in our Interdisciplinary School. In-person places are limited, we encourage prompt registration. There is a general publicity email copied below and a poster attached for your convenience.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or suggestions.
Best regards,
Carlos Zapata on behalf of the SEMF team

Interdisciplinary Summer School 2024 in Valencia (Spain) 22-26 July
This summer… learn about computation, evolutionary biology, physics, philosophy of science, literature and mathematics… enjoy beach parties, art jam sessions, mind-bending debates, local cuisine and nightlife. All of this, and more, in the scenic city of Valencia, situated on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
https://semf.org.es/school2024/
Places are limited, be sure to follow the link above and register to secure your spot early. Participants in the SEMF Interdisciplinary School travelling to Valencia get access to sponsored accommodation at a reduced price and in an excellent location, minutes away from the School venue, and within walking distance of the beach and the city centre.
The aim of this event is to gather a group of young researchers, creators and students that engage in a very unique intellectual environment while attending talks and short courses by leading figures. Here is a handful of speakers and topics covered:
· Stephen Wolfram (Wolfram Institute) - Computational Evolution
· Rossana Mastrandrea (IMT School of Advanced Studies) - Networks and Entropy
· Irida Altman (ETH Zurich) - Literary Aspects of Mathematics
· Tom Froese (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology) - Biology, Cognition, Computation, Complexity
· Mel Andrews (University of Cincinnati, Carnegie Mellon University) - Machine Learning in Science
· Sandra Ranilla-Cortina (Credit Suisse) - Industry & Academia
We encourage participants to attend in person but remote online attendance is also possible, you can choose your modality when registering in the link above.
We look forward to welcoming you in Valencia or online soon!
