We invite applicants to attend Adriatica 2026, focusing on "Brain-Body Interactions and Wellbeing."

Adriatica 2026 is structured as a study retreat by the sea, offering students the opportunity to engage in debates with world-leading experts from different fields: neuroscience, psychology, neurophysiology, computational science, and physics.

The central theme of Adriatica 2026 is a comprehensive exploration of the coupling between neural activity and physiological rhythms, and how these interactions contribute to self-awareness, behaviour, emotion, and health.

Participants will engage with research on interoception, bodily self-consciousness, peripersonal space, heart–brain and respiration–brain coupling, social synchrony, predictive processing, and brain–body dynamics across wakefulness, sleep, and altered states of consciousness, with particular attention to their role in cognition, agency, social interaction, and mental health, including in clinical populations.

The programme includes lectures by internationally recognized speakers, student oral presentations, poster sessions, and hands-on methodological workshops on physiological networks and multiscale brain–body dynamics.

Set in a stunning coastal location, Adriatica 2026 also features structured social and networking activities — including excursions along the Trabocchi Coast and a group dinner — designed to foster informal scientific exchange and community building.

Last but not least, there will be social events and beach outings to provide opportunities for relaxation and community building.

Our esteemed lineup of speakers includes:

• Micah Allen, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Yuri Antonacci, University of Palermo, Italy
• Ronny Bartsch, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
• Juliane Britz, University of Fribourg, Switzerland
• Marzia De Lucia, Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland
• Francesca Fardo, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Michael Gaebler, Max Planck Institute, Germany
• Ivana Konvalinka, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark
• HyeongDong Park, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, Republic of Korea
• Andrea Serino, Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland
