Information Theory in Modern Science Workshop
The workshop explores how information-theoretic ideas are shaping modern science and data-driven research, bringing together researchers across theory, statistics, machine learning, and the quantitative sciences.
Join us in Okinawa, Japan, after ISIT 2026.
The Information Theory in Modern Science (ITMS) Workshop will take place at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan, from July 6–10, 2026, immediately following ISIT 2026.
The workshop aims to highlight the growing role of information-theoretic thinking in contemporary science and data-driven research. It will bring together researchers working across information theory, probability, statistics, machine learning, and related areas of the quantitative and natural sciences, with an emphasis on conceptual connections and emerging interdisciplinary applications.
The programme will feature invited talks, poster presentations, and discussion-focused sessions designed to foster interaction across disciplines and career stages.
