I Uruguayan Congress in Cognitive Science
&
II Symposium on Education, Cognition and Neuroscience
When and who?
The I Uruguayan Congress of Cognitive Sciences and II Symposium on Education, Cognition and Neuroscience will be held in November 17th to 21st. This event is co-organized by the Uruguayan Uruguayan Society of Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences (Sociedad Uruguaya de Ciencias Cognitivas y del Comportamiento, SUCCC) and the Interdisciplinary Interdisciplinary Center in Cognition for Teaching and Learning (Centro Interdisciplinario en Cognición para la Enseñanza y Aprendizaje, CICEA).
Aims
This Congress seeks to combine academics, professionals and the public interested in Cognitive Sciences, a scientific area of increasing basic and applied interest in Uruguay and the region. The contributions of Cognitive Sciences to Education will be the subject of special emphasis of the II Symposium, underpinning the strong bonds of common interest between the educational sector (Initial, Primary and Secondary) and the university teams working in this field.
Activities
The congress will offer a series of talks by world-class specialists on issues of cognition, neurosciences, learning and education (see speakers). In addition there will be poster sessions in which original research papers will be presented, which the scientific committee is already evaluating (see application dates). At the same time, brief symposia will work on topics related to the event. Proposals are received for these seminars (see application form).
