Tuesday 30 Jul, 5:30 p.m. — 6 p.m.

Every year, the International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL) awards one individual with the ISAL Lifetime Achievement Award — thereby honouring profound contributions to the field of Artificial Life that influenced the work of many others and helped to shape the state of the art.

While the award ceremony itself will take place at the conference banquet on Wednesday, the awardee will here share his or her personal take on Artificial Life and guide us through several of his/her many contributions to the field.
