Doctoral Consortium – Call for Participation

The 11th Biannual Meeting of the German Cognitive Science Society, KogWis'12 addresses researchers from all areas of interdisciplinary research in the Mind and Brain Sciences, including Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Human-Computer-Interaction, Linguistics, and Philosophy of Mind.

The main program of the conference, taking place October 1-3, is preceeded by a doctoral consortium on September 30, that invites participation by PhD students at any stage and from any subject area within Cognitive Science. The goals of the doctoral consortium are:

• to provide PhD students with the opportunity to present their ongoing research and receive feedback from established as well as peer researchers;
• to promote networking among young CogSci researchers, both on a national and an international level;
• to support students with information and advice on academic, research, and industrial careers.
