# The Lyceum Project 2026 and the Young Scholars' Session: Call for talks February 13, 2026 The Lyceum Project is an annual multidisciplinary initiative where Philosophy meets AI. At the historic site of Aristotle's Lyceum in Athens, **The Lyceum Project 2026** returns for its third edition, bringing together philosophy, science, technology, the arts, and spirituality to address an urgent question of our time: *How does AI entangle with Ancestral and Animate Intelligence to shape a life-affirming civilisation?* This year's theme, **Entangled Intelligence**, explores the interconnected and co-evolving relationship between three forms of intelligence: - Ancestral/Cultural Intelligence – the millennia wisdom of philosophy, the humanities, spirituality, and the arts. - Artificial/Machine Intelligence – the advances of science and technology shaping our present and future. - Animate/Nature Intelligence – the intelligence inherent in nature and the living world. The Lyceum Project 2026 will unfold over two days, on **June 19-20, 2026,** **at the Athens Conservatoire,** and over three parts; each part dedicated to one form of intelligence. The Lyceum Project is organized by the National Centre for Scientific Research "Demokritos" and the World Human Forum, in cooperation with the Special Secretariat of Foresight under the Presidency of the Government of the Hellenic Republic and hosted by Athens Conservatoire. CHS is the academic affiliate, organizing and funding sessions such as the Young Scholars' Session and contributing to the planning and organization processes of other academic aspects of the event. ## Call for submissions The call for submissions is for the dedicated **Young Scholars' Session** that will take place in the afternoon of the 20th of June 2026. We invite young scholars (PhD students or those within seven years of their PhD) to submit a 500-word abstract for a 20-minute talk related to this year's theme of "Entangled Intelligence."
