Research on human cognition has a long tradition of being carried out in a multidisciplinary context, within areas such as psychology, philosophy, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience. At the University of Gothenburg, individual researchers and research teams investigating cognition are spread across departments and faculties. At each department, the numbers of researchers and PhD students focusing on cognition are fairly low. Although there are research groups related to cognition in various departments, their seminars draw mostly an internal audience. These circumstances prevent optimal knowledge exchange and collaboration. To ameliorate this situation, a forum for research on cognition at University of Gothenburg gather researchers across the university in informal seminars. The forum hosts presentations of both local researchers and invited speakers from outside the university.
The main target group is researchers, teachers, and PhD students at the University of Gothenburg. Also Master and undergraduate students are welcome to attend.
