2025

A Year in Review

2025 closed with the Institute's fifth Applied Active Inference Symposium and a completed governance cycle. This retrospective maps the year month by month: new groups hosted (Theoretical Neurobiology), a new partnership (RxInfer.jl Learning Group), four Quarterly Roundtables, the Project ~ Measurement system, and the selection of 2026 leadership.
