Situated Cognition in Human Minds, Animal Minds and AI Systems


Please note that the application window has closed and we are now reviewing all submissions. All decisions are planned to be distributed after mid December.


Abstract:
This spring school of situated cognition brings together a diverse range of researchers working on mind and 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 in humans, non-human animals and AI systems. 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.

We use this platform only to handle applications for our call for talks and posters. Our official conference webpage with all other information can be accessed here: https://situated-cognition.com/scss-2025/
