Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

We organise a watercolour workshop for beginners; The teacher is an advanced graphic designer and painter Tiana Diakova, whose works you can check on Instagram: @diakova_art. The maximum amount of people is 10 so the teacher will be able to guide every person. The workshop is adapted to a beginner's level (every time people who never painted before are surprised with the result they achieve!) But also the process will be interesting for those who draw or paint already. For architects, designers, and illustrators it's a good way to discover a new technique and material and make new contacts) All materials are included so there is no need to bring anything. The process will take 2-2,5 hours.

She’ll be sharing her work with HeartMula, a project where she trained models on recordings of her own songs. Learn how she uses AI as a collaborative partner to explore new musical ideas while staying true to her unique creative voice. 🎤 **Arnab Dey & Marcel Alcoverro (UNITH) – Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline** What does it actually take to turn an image into a real-time photorealistic human avatar? Arnab (Senior Research Engineer) and Marcel (Head of AI) will walk through the full engineering stack behind a live interactive avatar: from LLM-driven speech synthesis and autoregressive 3D motion generation to Gaussian Splatting rendering streamed at 60 FPS. This talk dives into the research models powering visual avatars, the hard latency trade-offs that shape every design decision, and what production MLOps looks like when your service is a human face. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🖊️⚙️ Track 2** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Xesca Alabart (Gluecharm) – Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI** Why do most AI design tools give you code instead of editable design objects? Current tools like v0 or Bolt often leave designers stuck in a "prompt loop" - where even a minor layout tweak requires a new prompt rather than a simple click-and-drag. Xesca, creator of Penpot Wizard, is pioneering a fundamentally different path. Her talk introduces a Vectorial AI-driven methodology that treats the canvas as a live environment rather than a code-generation target. By designing with AI and Vectorial Design as a structural foundation, Penpot Wizard generates native design objects—shapes, paths, and components—that designers can edit normally. It’s about moving past the prompt-only bottleneck to provide a functional, editable starting point for real-world UX. 🎤 **Gabriel Llauradó Queralt (Allianz Technology) - Investigator: A Multi-Agent System That Digs into Tickets** Every Jira ticket hides a trail across code, databases, logs, and half-forgotten Slack decisions. Gabriel built Investigator using LangGraph, with specialist agents for code, DB, Jira, OpenSearch, Confluence, GitHub and Vision — Orchestrated by a Planner, Router, Critic and Evaluator that argue with each other until the evidence holds up. He'll walk through the architecture, the prompts that actually work, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and lessons learned making LLMs reason about real enterprise codebases. **See you soon!** *(\*) You will greatly help us by providing your DNI/NIE upfront when you RSVP.
