##QUANTUM INFORMATION AND DECISION MAKING IN LIFE SCIENCES

The DYNALIFE interdisciplinary meeting will explore the role of quantum phenomena in the information processing, transfer of complex living systems, decision making and cognition as well as on methods and techniques for simulating biological informational phenomena.

The conference will feature a broad spectrum of topics at the intersection of quantum physics, biology, and information science. We invite submissions of new and original research on a variety of subjects, including but not limited to the following:

- quantum transport and sensing
- quantum effects in the brain, perception and cognition
- role of quantum effects in the origins of life and complexity
- quantum-to-classical transition in living organisms
- quantum computing for molecular biology
- quantum-like modelling and quantum bio inspired technologies
- quantum decision making and cognition.

The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among working groups and stimulate cross-field interactions to deepen our fundamental understanding of biological information and its role in the origin of life. Additionally, it will leverage cutting-edge biological insights to describe phenomena in cognition and decision-making and help to explore potential applications (e.g. medicine, technology).

The conference programme includes 4-5 keynote talks, 9 contributed talks, a range of poster presentations and 3 panel discussions.

The conference has special focus on early-career researchers (PhD students and postdoctoral fellows).
