Individualisation Symposium

Every year in spring, the Joint Institute for Individualisation in a Changing Environment (JICE) hosts the interdisciplinary Individualisation Symposium. The event brings together researchers from various disciplines of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities to facilitate exchange of current findings and new perspectives in individualisation research across disciplinary boundaries – thereby advancing our collective understanding of individuality in a changing world.
