The 2026 IAEA Congress invites researchers, scholars, and artists from different domains and countries to present and share empirical research on aesthetics, creativity, and the psychology and neurobiology of the arts and aesthetics.

It's been a weekend filled with art for the EvaLabs:

Helmut Leder attended an exhibition opening at Toolip Art Gallery featuring one of our Master students Elisabeth Noller.

Meanwhile some of our PhD students checked out the Modern Githic exhibition at the Albertina.
