European Summer School: Memory and Mind: Perspectives from Philosophy and Neuroscience

Germany, DE

Attendance type(s): In Person

Event Dates: 07—20 Sep 2014

The demands on young researchers in philosophy and the cognitive and neurosciences have increased dramatically during the last decade. Whereas many philosophers need to understand state-of-the-art empirical research in the cognitive and neurosciences, empirical scientists often face conceptual challenges which require philosophical knowledge and excellent analytic skills. From 7th Sept – 20th Sept 2014, the European Campus of Excellence summer school will be held at the Ruhr University Bochum, taking a truly integrative approach to contemporary problems in the areas of memory and mind. Gifted students from all over Europe meet with world-class scholars from all over the world to learn from each other, talk over and conduct research together. The young academics not only get the opportunity to deepen their knowledge on questions of memory and mind but also to get to know fellow students from other European universities. The summer school in Bochum is divided into four subsequent theoretical as well as four partly parallel experimental sections. Each theoretical section is dedicated to one core issue of research into the structure of memory and mind.

This summer school is supported by Stiftung Mercator and the Hertie Foundation. It is an initiative in the framework of the European Campus of Excellence (ECE), organised by Ruhr University Bochum
