events hosting scholars outside of the KLI to give talks and engage with informal discussions with KLI fellows. Altenberg Workshops in Theoretical Biology The Altenberg Workshops in Theoretical Biology are meetings focused on a key issue of biology, cognition, behavior, or sustainability. All workshops are organized by leading experts in their field, who invite an international group of experts on the topic as participants. The meetings are fully sponsored by the KLI and have only one requirement: The organizers are requested to generate a book on the workshop topic. These are not conference proceedings but edited books which further develop in their chapters the novel ideas and concepts that were produced at the meeting. The organizers of each workshop act as the editors of the book, but contributors to the book are not necessarily limited to the original participants and may include additional experts on those topics that emerged as especially important for the workshop topic. By this procedure, the KLI intends to generate new conceptual advances and research initiatives in the bio-sciences, which, due to their interdisciplinary nature, are attractive to a wide variety of scientists from almost all fields of biology and related disciplines. The expertise of the selected editors and authors guarantees high-quality books. Books are fully reviewed and, if accepted, published by MIT Press as part of their "Vienna Series in Theoretical Biology". Summer Schools The KLI hosts regular summer schools as part of the European Advanced School in the Philosophy of Life Sciences. Other Konrad Lorenz institutions Two other institutions in Austria are named after Konrad Lorenz. Both the Konrad Lorenz Research Station in Grünau and the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology in Vienna, an institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, pursue research in behavioral ecology, including animal cognition in the tradition of Konrad Lorenz.
