Connectionists: EUCOG2017: Abstract submission deadline approaching (Sept. 17)

[Yulia Sandamirskaya]

Dear colleagues, 

the deadline for submitting Abstracts of contributions to the next EUCOG2017 conference in Zürich is approaching:

Sept. 17, 2017

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eucog2017 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eucog2017>

We will have a strictly limited space at the conference (100 participants) and preference will be given to EUCog members and researchers who have an accepted abstract on the first come first served basis.

The registration for the conference is now also open: 

https://eucog2017.iniforum.ch <https://eucog2017.iniforum.ch/>

Let us know if there is any problem with the registration page or payment procedure.

EUCOG-2017 CONFERENCE: 

Event information: 

EUCOG 2017: “Learning: Beyond Deep Neural Networks”
European Society for Cognitive Systems

November 23th-24th, 2017

University of Zürich, Rämistrasse 59, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland

For over a decade, the EUCognition network (EUCog) has brought together academic researchers and industrial partners with a common interest in the design and construction of artificial cognitive systems in ways that are informed by, or attempt to explain, biological cognition. The emphasis is on systems that are autonomous, robust, flexible and self-improving in pursuing their goals in real environments. EUCog not only includes researchers who use insights from natural cognition in creating artificial cognitive systems for robotic and other technical applications but also those interested in using artificial cognitive systems to understand natural cognition. The field includes computer science, robotics, cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy as its core disciplines.

EUCog will hold its next meeting this coming November  in Zurich. The focus of the event will be community building, as well as presenting cutting-edge research in the field of artificial cognitive systems. The meeting is open to all: one need not be a past or current member of the EUCog network to attend.
