Rewiring Peace in the Age of the Metacrisis

​Around the world, societies are growing more polarized and less trusting, even in places long at peace. Why is cooperation getting harder, and what can science do about it?

​In this eye-opening talk, Andrés Casas will introduce Neuropaz, a groundbreaking initiative that blends neuroscience and behavioral science to help societies build the psychological foundations for lasting peace. Exploring how fear and identity shape our thinking, a state he calls “mindfreeze”, Casas will reveal why dialogue often stalls and how we can design systems that truly support trust, collaboration, and coexistence. Join us to discover a fresh, science-based approach to creating peaceful and resilient societies in an uncertain world.
