In conjunction with CogSci 2021, which will be held virtually due to Covid-19, there will be local meetup groups around the world aimed at facilitating in-person interactions and local community building. As part of this initiative, we will hold a meetup in the Boston/Cambridge area on July 28, 2021, 4:00–6:45 PM, at MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. The meetup is for anyone interested in Cognitive Science, including students and researchers at all levels, both in academia and industry. We're planning for the meetup to have both an academic and a social aspect, with the goal of giving participants an opportunity to present their work in-person and socialize informally.
Registration is free but required. You do not need to be registered to CogSci 2021 in order to attend the meetup. Please register by July 22. Late registration will be possible if space permits. However, please try to register early to help us plan accordingly, especially if you would like to present at the meetup.
When: Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 4–6:45pm
