Abstract
This spring school of situated cognition brings together a diverse range of
researchers working on mind, cognition, and how they relate to the body and
environment. We strive to provide an extensive overview of state-of-the-art
theorizing, experimenting, observing and surveying of all kinds of situated
phenomena arising from human and non-human cognition. The relevance and
impact of these advancements is then also reflected upon for the scientific
domain and beyond. We are therefore delighted to have a lineup of excellent
keynotes coming from diverse backgrounds and with different interests
ranging from, but are not limited to, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience,
animal research, sociology, and artificial systems. Doctoral students and
early postdocs from Europe or abroad are cordially invited to apply for a
talk or poster presentation. We aim to provide an open and collaborative
environment to foster intensive discussion, networking and exchange with
leading experts as well as fellow students of this continuously growing area
of research.
Call for Talks and Posters
We invite applications for talks and posters from PhD students and early
career postdocs. Any empirical or philosophical research on situated
