<span lang="EN">We can all feel exhausted after a day of work, even if we have spent it sitting at a desk. The intuitive concept of mental effort pervades virtually all domains of human information processing and has become an indispensable ingredient for general
 theories of cognition. However, inconsistent use of the term across cognitive sciences, including cognitive psychology, education, human-factors engineering, and artificial intelligence, makes it one of the least well-defined theoretical constructs across

<span lang="EN">A number of recent approaches lay the foundation for a consensus by offering formal accounts of mental effort. Yet, reaching a multifield-wide consensus on the operationalization of mental effort will require crosstalk between different empirical
 and computational approaches, including symbolic architectures, non-parametric Bayesian statistics, and neural networks. The purpose of this two-day workshop is to review and integrate these emerging perspectives.
