<p align="left"><font style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">Episodic
memories are widely regarded as memories of personally
experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were
based on the storage model, according to which experiential
content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However,
overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of
episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed
in the act of remembering. Even though very few contemporary
researchers would oppose this view of episodic memory as a
generative process, it has not become the standard paradigm of
empirical memory research. This is particularly true for studies
of the neural correlates of episodic memory. Further hindering
progress are large conceptual differences regarding episodic
memory across different fields, such as neuroscience,
philosophy, and psychology. This interdisciplinary conference
therefore aims to bring together researchers from all relevant
fields to advance the state of the art in the research on
generative episodic memory.</font></p>
