Social Motivation Symposium
12-13th November, 2019
University of Haifa, Israel
We are delighted to announce the social motivation symposium, taking place at the University of Haifa, Israel, 12th-13th of November 2019.
What motivates people during social interactions? What are the brain mechanisms that motivate social behaviours? How does social motivation across health and disease?
In this two days symposium a diverse group of researchers from the UK and Israel will present their work and perspectives on the topic of motivation and social behaviour. Among the themes to be covered in this symposium are social learning, mood and psychiatric disorders, social influence, theory of mind, apathy and emotion, in the context of goals and motivations underlying social behaviour.
More details about the location and detailed programme will be added to this website soon.
We hope to see you in November!
