The main goal of the First Summer School on Advances in 6G is to deepen your knowledge on 6G technologies through prestigious speakers, poster sessions where students can present their ongoing work and MDPI Scientific Publishing Exchange. The summer school will allow you to look into a variety of topics within the field of 6G, identify new research trends, meet forerunners in this research field, and network with other students, all in an unparalleled natural. If you are a PhD student or a master's student interested in research, the summer school will enable you to deepen your understanding of these topics alongside top-tier international researchers.

This summer school is organized by the INCIBE-UCM Cybersec Chair of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) in collaboration with the Information Security Programs of the ESIME Culhuacán (MISTI and ESITI) of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (Mexico).

The First Summer School on Advances in 6G will take place from March 23th to 27th, at the Universidad del Magdalena, Santa Marta, Colombia.

The growing interest in Korean cultural industries in Europe, particularly in the audiovisual sector, makes this phenomenon a topic of great relevance for communication students. Television series, films, and K-pop productions have crossed borders, attracting global audiences and demonstrating South Korea’s ability to generate content of high creative and strategic value. This event will provide students with first-hand insight into the elements that have positioned Korean audiovisual production as an international benchmark, analysing both its creative processes and its distribution strategies.

A key feature of the event is the direct participation of audiovisual industry professionals. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in lectures and roundtables not only with academics, but also with producers, distributors, and other industry experts. This interaction with active professionals will enable students to gain first-hand knowledge of the challenges, opportunities, and production and distribution processes within the Korean industry, offering a practical perspective that complements their academic training.

In parallel, workshops and complementary activities will be offered, allowing participants to explore Korean culture in greater depth.

“From Canon to Clicks: Literary Evaluation in the Digital Culture”

24/4/26 a las 13:00 en el PARANINFO del Edificio A de la Facultad de Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The internet has changed, among others, our concept of literary value. The rise of artificial intelligence has significantly impacted the art world, raising questions about authorship and creativity—especially as AI-generated novels, TV series, and music become more common. Our experiment explored how the mere framing of authorship of AI-generated literature modulates judgments of value, from the point of view of AI itself. We asked a state-of-the-art language model to craft three short stories in the style of Roald Dahl. A second large language model then evaluated those same texts by filling out a detailed Likert-based questionnaire under three different framings of authorship: human-only, AI-only, and human–AI collaboration. Although the linguistic artefacts were identical, attribution reshaped appraisal. Stories labeled as human-authored received the highest ratings for creativity, narrative quality, and inclusivity, whereas those attributed to AI—especially when presented as solely AI-authored—consistently scored lower across all dimensions. This pattern reveals a persistent bias against AI authorship, regardless of the actual quality or inclusiveness of the content: one that even algorithms themselves reproduce when invited to judge their own work.

The Sixteenth Conference on Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World - Embodiment will take place in Madrid, at the Universidad Complutense and Fundación Pastor de Estudios Clásicos, from May 20 to May 23, 2026. Scholars of classics, history, religious studies, biblical studies, and other fields with an interest in oral cultures are cordially invited. This conference centers on embodiment in all its diverse manifestations. Topics of interest include the representation and conceptualization of the body in oral traditions and literatures rooted in orality, the embodied experience of oral poetry in performance—including the dynamics between poet and audience—the role of the body in emotion, cognition, and memory, as well as intersections between the body and other concerns such as gender, social status, and identity. Conference participants are cordially invited to register by 31 January through this website (click “enroll”). The registration fee for presenters is 120 euros, which includes lunch on the first three days of the event.

This is 5th International Conference on Dynamics of Differential Equations – in Memory of Jack K. Hale. The series was established through the joint effort of research groups in the dynamics of differential equations across the Americas, Asia, and Europe, with a scientific focus on the advancement and application of dynamical systems generated by differential equations and their discrete analogs. Previous meetings took place at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA (2013), CIRM, Luminy, France (2016), Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan (2018), and Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada (2023).

Tackling Emerging Vector-Borne Diseases in Europe: Building Research Networks

The VISAVET centre of Complutense University of Madrid organises a European One Health Association workshop focused on Vector borne Diseases (see programme), connecting professionals from different expertise areas from different European countries.

The purpose of this workshop focused in VBD is to bring together experts and stakeholders from various fields, including epidemiology, public health, and vector control, to address the growing threat of emerging vector-borne diseases in Europe. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and building strong research networks, the workshop aims to promote the exchange of cutting-edge scientific knowledge, identify gaps in current research, and develop innovative strategies for monitoring, preventing, and controlling vector-borne diseases. The ultimate goal is to strengthen regional and global efforts to combat these diseases through a unified approach and coordinated future research initiatives.

The Ninth Biennial Conference of the International Association for Presocratic Studies (IAPS, founded in 2008) will take place at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), 22-26 June 2026. IAPS understands “Presocratics” to be the figures for whom either fragments of their work or relevant testimonia are collected in Hermann Diels’ Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker (6th ed. 1951, edited by Walther Kranz). IAPS welcomes presentations on philosophical, philological, textual, doxographical, scientific, historical, literary and religious topics having to do with the Presocratics, on connections between Presocratic thought and other figures (e.g., Socrates, Plato, Aristotle…) and other areas of intellectual activity (e.g., mathematics, medicine or music), and on the reception of Presocratic thought in antiquity and later times.

IAPS welcomes participation from scholars at all stages of their careers, from graduate students to senior figures in the field. Information about the venue can be found in English at https://www.presocraticstudies.org/ Chair of Organizing Committee: Marco Antonio Santamaría (marcoa22@ucm.es).

Welcome to the 7th International Trilobite Meeting, which will take place in San Emiliano in July 2026.

The 7ITM will be a family-friendly congress on trilobites and their relatives, aimed at discussing new advances in our knowledge of their diversity and disparity, while fostering personal collaboration after years without meetings. It will be a specialized meeting in a rural and relaxed setting, with accommodation and sessions held in the same country hotel to facilitate continuous interaction.

The growing interest among younger generations in discussing challenges related to heritage has driven the development of research in the field of cultural heritage conservation and restoration. The ICP aims to establish itself as a space for broad, current, multidisciplinary and cross-cutting reflection on research into heritage conservation, both in the academic sphere, at master's, doctoral and postdoctoral level, and in professional contexts. The sixth edition of the ICP will take place in October 2026 at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid, under the theme ‘Heritage at Risk - Challenges and Solutions’.
