CONFERENCE

Cognitive Adventures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Organizers: Copernicus Science Centre and SWPS University

 

Cognition and cognitive processes are as fascinating as they are complex. The seemingly simple questions related to the key mechanisms of cognitive processes, motivation, and the best conditions for learning are complex and demand the application of a variety of methods, tools and approaches. Finding the answers becomes possible thanks to the cooperation of scholars representing various scientific disciplines. The conference “Cognitive Adventures. Learning” is an attempt at integrating knowledge on learning process that has been collected in various scientific disciplines, and applying it in the development of better educational solutions in areas, such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Conference

October26-27 2017

Warsaw

The Conference will include:

  • Lectures and panel discussions
  • Methodology Workshops conducted by the Key Note Speakers, which will take place in the exhibition space of the Copernicus Science Center (CNK)
  • BADNIGHT! - event where scientists will talk about their inspiring failures. Black tie optional, but a smile and a sense of humor required.

Who should attend?

Psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, culture experts, exhibition curators, educators, teachers, students and everyone interested in the current research on cognitive processes in humans.
