Overview

The 3rd INTP Autumn School “Syntheses in Theoretical Community Ecology” will take place from October 6 to 11, 2025 in Ariège, in the French Pyrenees. Its target is an interdisciplinary audience of researchers (including graduate, post-doctoral and early career) with strong prior experience in theoretical community ecology and modelling.

Every edition draws on the previous ones to progress toward a more unified perspective on theory in community ecology. The program is constructed jointly by the lecturers, revisiting a broad …

A 3- to 5-day retreat where participants (researchers or doctoral students) make progress on their own research, while sharing daily scientific discussion times, both indoors and during mountain walks.

Discussions will especially aim to address challenges and roadblocks in one's current work, brainstorm ways to overcome them, drawing on insights from a group of colleagues with a common background.

We hope that the retreat may also foster new collaborations between researchers of different institutes, who might not otherwise have such …

This is a meditation retreat. It's also a time you can be productive in your work. But most importantly, it's a time to intentionally lean deeper into the joy of doing the work we love, together with like-minded people, surrounded by beautiful mountains.

If you are interested in principle but cannot join this time, please help us by filling this form!

The core of this will be a guided exploration of how to make our work …

Deadline extended to June 4

The residency consists of co-working sessions to progress on your research (writing, analysis, etc.) in the morning and physical activities (climbing, yoga, via ferrata, etc.) in the afternoon.

Co-working
We will suggest a group schedule, based on the Pomodoro technique, which has helped many participants progress and stay motivated in prior work retreats at INTP (e.g. for thesis writing). You are free to opt out if you prefer a different experience.

This workshop brings together researchers interested in applications of AI to understanding stochastic
dynamical systems. It is broadly defined to connect people across disciplines including physics, math, engineering, biology, and medicine. It will include tutorials, lectures, and discussions to stimulate cross-
disciplinary collaborations.

Some topics:
Classifying emergent behaviors with variational autoencoders
Geophysics, asteroids, and DL-based uncertainty propagation
Social, economic, and ethical considerations …

This school is an overview of community ecology for interdisciplinary theoreticians, in particular physicists and applied mathematicians.

This 3-day workshop in Microbial Community Ecology aims to bring together scientists (researchers, engineers...) working on microbial communities in diverse contexts, help create a common language with an overview of key ideas and tools spanning community ecology, and foster new collaborations and ways of approaching data, experiments or teaching this topic at the interconnection of many expertises.

More information on the dedicated page.

This 3-day school in Microbial Community Ecology aimed to give an overview of the key concepts and tools from community ecology (from coexistence to complex networks), that can enrich the way we think about and study microbiomes, plan experiments and analyze data.

We happily hosted 11 students including 10 from several laboratories associated with the CLAPAS Key Initiative (University of Montpellier), see news here.
