I’m curious what the actual goal of the recent consciousness conference was—were they trying to make discoveries or just open a new line of conversation?

Great question. As the article explains: https://www.radiosienatv.it/siena-la-prima-conferenza-del-centro-internazionale-per-lo-studio-della-coscienza/, the ICCS Conference had multiple goals: to formally launch the research center in Siena, to encourage interdisciplinary exploration of consciousness, and to initiate a series of future collaborations across countries and fields. It wasn’t about solving consciousness in a weekend—it was about establishing a foundation for future work. And that’s what the ICCS Conference did really well: laying down a roadmap for how we might collectively approach this massive topic in a structured, thoughtful way.
