CogSci 2021 Hong Kong Meetup & Symposium

Highlights of Hong Kong Cognitive Science Research

The Cognitive Science Society will be delivering the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci 2021: https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-2021/ ). In light of the ongoing global pandemic, CogSci 2021 will be held virtually between Monday 26 July 2021 and Thursday 29 July 2021. To facilitate and engage scientists in Hong Kong, we are delighted to host the CogSci 2021 Hong Kong Meetup and Symposium: Highlights of Hong Kong Cognitive Science Research at University of Hong Kong in conjunction with CogSci 2021. We aim to facilitate face-to-face interactions and build community among local researchers and students with an interest in cognitive science.
