12th Symposium on The Biology of Decision Making 2025 - Lyon

The objective of this two-day symposium is to gather people from different research fields with different approaches (economics, ethology, psychiatry, robotics, neural and computational approaches) to decision making.

The event will take place for 3 days from the 16th to 18th of June 2025 in Lyon at the Palais Hirsch Amphitheatre. Note that SBDM dates have been updated to avoid conflict with the RLDM conference.

Each session of the conference will be dedicated to one of the core themes, ensuring a focused exploration of topics and in-depth discussions.

You can find the list of confirmed speakers here. The organizing committee will select one additional speaker for each session based on submitted abstracts.
