The Ist Uruguayan Congress in Cognitive Science, and the IInd Symposium in Education, Cognition and Neuroscience will be held March 2020 in Montevideo.
Both events are organized by the Uruguayan Society of Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences (SUCCC), and the Interdisciplinary Centre in Cognition for Teaching and Learning (CICEA).
To gather academics, practitioners and members of the general public interested in basic and applied fields of cognitive science.
During the last few days of the event we may target applications of cognitive science to education. We aim to create strong collaborative bonds between educators and researchers.
The Ist Symposium in Education, Cognition and Neuroscience was held in 2017 in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Organized by CICEA, we gathered over 400 attendees - most of them teachers, students and academics.
