Ilya Kolmanovsky in Vienna with the lecture "The Wise Crowd" 5 June 2024

On June 5 in Vienna, we will talk about how collective intelligence is born and whether we can become not only stupider but also smarter when we get together.

At a lecture by science journalist Ilya Kolmanovsky in Vienna, we will explore what happens when people gather in a group: how their brains work - all together in a crowd and individually for each person.

"It's very important to understand: why do people perform worse in a group? Is it possible, using the achievements of science, studying experiments on volunteers, to make us not a mad, but on the contrary, a wise crowd? Will magic happen and it will turn out that together people produce much better results than if they acted each for himself?" says Ilya Kolmanovsky. - says Ilya Kolmanovsky.

We recommend this lecture for adults, but you can also bring teenagers if you wish. Come and let's talk!

Ilya Kolmanovsky is a PhD candidate in biology, science reporter, and author of the podcasts "Naked Digger" and "One and a Half Digger". His job is to read scientific research every day, talk to scientists, and visit their labs (sometimes as a research volunteer). And then to put together offline meetings, discussions, and workshops to talk together about what the scientists have asked us to pass on and what we want to pass on to them in return.
