About

The Emerging Researchers in ALife (ERA) organization is the student chapter of ISAL. They actively engage with the community to support the advancement and dissemination of knowledge about Artificial Life. They especially target emerging researchers, providing opportunities to interact with each other, develop professionally, and contribute to the broader artificial life community. They give an inclusive definition of “emerging researchers”: anybody seeing herself as such fits into the category. These mostly include, but are not limited to, PhD students, Post-Doc researchers, and independent researchers.

ERA was established in 2016. Since then, we host a workshop at the flagship conference on Artificial Life, bringing together as many emerging researchers as possible, offering a venue to network and socialise within the broader conference.
