12. Dezember 1996

2nd European Conference on Cognitive Science (mit verschobenen Einreichungsterminen)

Anmerkung des GK-Schriftführers:

Zu dieser Tagung wurde am 28.11.96 bereits eine Ankündigung über den E-Mail-Verteiler der GK verschickt. Gerade diese Woche wurden aber die wichtigsten Einreichungstermine um einen Monat verschoben. Da in den meisten Kategorien lediglich eine Zusammenfassung eingereicht werden muß, ist der Termin vielleicht jetzt für einige erreichbar.
Diese Tagung wird von der GK offiziell unterstützt. Außerdem ist der Zeitschriftenherausgeber der GK, Gerhard Strube, Mitglied des Programmkomitees.

In April, 1995 the first European Conference on Cognitive Science (ECCS) was
successfully held at Saint-Malo (France), organised on the initiative of the
French Association for Research on Cognition (ARC). Following the spirit and
intention of the ECCS 95, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming Second
European Conference on Cognitive Science - ECCS 97. The aim of the ECCS
conferences is to further the interaction between European researchers who
work in the domain of Cognitive Science.

You are hereby cordially invited to submit an abstract or a short a paper
within the general field of Cognitive Science - theory and practice alike.
As the ECCS 97 is being held in conjunction with the AISB workshops,
submissions that address potentially common themes are especially
encouraged.

organised within this conference. Please see the appropriate pages for theme
