Models of Consciousness conference 2026

Topic

Models of Consciousness 2026

Description

The Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science announces the 7th Models of Consciousness conference (MoC7) 2026.

Organised for the first time in Copenhagen, Denmark, the world’s most liveable city, the conference offers an exciting opportunity to make new research connections and enjoy the Hygge (cosy) Danish culture during October.

This year, the conference is dedicated to bringing together researchers on the following core themes:
▸ Philosophical foundations
▸ Methodologies and measurements
▸ AI, LLMs, and consciousness science
▸ Phenomenology and applied phenomenology

Models of Consciousness 2026

By the kind invitation of the Centre for the Philosophy of AI, Centre for Subjectivity Research, Department of Computer Science and the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, we, the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science, and all of our organising and supporting institutions, are delighted to announce the seventh Models of Consciousness conference (MoC7) 2026.

As in previous years, we will gather dedicated discussion sessions on open questions. Inspired by the historical achievements, the Copenhagen interpretation in physics, we will organise collaborative work to achieve a common understanding “towards a methodological and conceptual consensus”.

If successful, our project may result in the first collective paper of this magnitude in the field.

Join us to make history as a community!

Additionally, the conference features a diverse programme of activities designed to maximise opportunities to advance the field, including invited talks, contributed talks and posters by application, together with the Mind-Matter Society Award 2026. We also have a colourful social programme including a welcome reception, excursions to the acclaimed Louisiana Museum and a conference dinner, among others.

Participation is by registration only.

We are delighted that MoC7 is hosted at the University of Copenhagen, North Campus, from October 12 to October 16, 2026, following six previous successful editions at the University of Oxford in 2019, online in 2021, at Stanford University in 2022, University of Oxford in 2023, University of Bamberg in 2024, and Hokkaido University in 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2026!
