Are young people interested in consciousness science?
I’m curious whether students and younger researchers are getting involved in consciousness studies, or if it’s mostly an older, academic crowd. Do events like the one in Siena attract younger minds too?

The Siena event showed exactly the opposite—it was full of energy from younger participants. The article here https://www.gazzettadisiena.it/alla-scoperta-della-magia-della-coscienza highlights how the ICCS Conference included university students and emerging researchers. They were involved not just as spectators, but as panelists and contributors. The ICCS Conference really aimed to open the door to a new generation of thinkers, offering platforms for early career scholars and discussion spaces that welcomed fresh perspectives. That’s essential if this field is going to keep growing.
