Transfer-of-knowledge conferences These open conferences, that are expected to last for 3 to 4 days and to host 100 to 120 participants, provide a regular European interdisciplinary forum where both junior and senior researchers can present the latest research developments in comparative social cognition as well as other related fields (genetics, physiology, neurosciences, animal welfare, robotics, philosophy, etc.). Discussion between the participants are expected to stimulate new research initiatives leading to better understanding of how the human and non-human mind works and to enhance unification of terminology, theories and methods of comparative social cognition. Young researchers are specially encouraged to present their work and to enter discussion with experts and peers of various related fields. CompCog finances 3 ToK conferences over the 5 years, providing 40000 Euro for each. THE 3RD ToK CONFERENCE OF COMPCOG WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 3 TO 5 JULY 2013 IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA.
This is the summarizing and closing conference of the CompCog programme that is ending in June 2013. As such, the conference will overview the development of comparative cognition in the last 5 years and discuss the challenges it is likely to face in the coming years. All this in the usual communicative and collaborative spirit of CompCog. Scientific organizers: Zsófia Virányi and Ludwig Huber Session organizers: Thomas Bugnyar, Ádám Miklósi, Ludwig Huber Location: University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Veterinärplatz 1, 1210 Vienna (recommended accomodations below program) Basically, it is not possible to bring your dog to the CompCog closing conference. In exceptional cases, a special permit will be issued. For more information please contact
