Cognitive Science Center Amsterdam (CSCA) Symposium
26 October 2011
On October 26, the Cognitive Science Center Amsterdam will hold a Symposium to celebrate its 10th anniversary. In the morning, we will look back at research and education in the field of brain and cognitive science over the past years, but also share our views on the future of the CSCA. The afternoon will be centered around the ‘creatieve geest prijs’ (creative mind prize), an initiative of the Freek and Hella de Jonge foundation.
