On November 11, 12 and 13, the
Land Lab organized the course
“Living Territory, Science at the Threshold: Emerging Paths at the Edge of Artificial Intelligence”, a training initiative that invited participants to explore new ways of understanding and practicing science in a time marked by technological acceleration.
The course, which took place at the Institute of Agrarian Biodiversity and Rural Development (IBADER), combined theoretical reflection, applied exercises and participatory dynamics, and proposed an exploration of how science might evolve toward more sustainable, relational and life-attuned models at a moment when artificial intelligence is redefining ecological, human and territorial systems.
Led by Elsa Coímbra, PhD in Social Sciences and educator in regenerative science, the three-day training brought together a diverse group of twenty participants to follow an itinerary that began by situating science within its historical trajectory, examining the paradigms that shaped it and the boundaries it established. From this contextual perspective, the course moved into a more intimate exploration: that of the researcher as an instrument, inviting participants to recognize that doing research also involves engaging one’s own perception, attention and lived experience.
Finally, the program opened a space for reflection on the impact of artificial intelligence and on how emerging technological systems are transforming both scientific practice and our relationship with reality, raising questions about possible futures and the role of a more relational, life-oriented science.
