Science education and neuroscience - a bridge too far?
10:00 – 10:30 Coffee Break
10:30 – 12:00 Panel Discussion
12:00 – 13:00 Lunch
The cognitive neurosciences with the rapidly growing field of brain imaging in particular, bear a strong fascination on educators. Though, fruitful connections between the field of neurosciences and educational research are impeded by considerable differences in methods, approaches, levels of analyses, research goals, data, and philosophy.
The international workshop aims to foster the interest of young researchers in interdisciplinary exchange and cooperation between neuroscience and education. In addition to keynote lectures by internationally acknowledged speakers, the four-day meeting will cover sessions with more specialized talks and discussions as well as those with a broader perspective to allow for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scientific exchange. Doctoral students and postdocs from the fields of neuroscience, education, science education, and cognitive modeling are encouraged to apply and discuss their research in depth and in small groups with international experts from each of these fields. This could offer a unique opportunity for young scientists to find connections between their own research projects and those in related fields. To ensure a fruitful scientific exchange, all participants are expected to stay for the entire meeting. The conference language will be English.
Workshop Application and Abstract Submission
An application form for participation in the workshop and for abstract submission can be downloaded below. Participants are encouraged to present results of their current research projects or project plans that bear a potential to stimulate cooperation. For each talk or poster, an abstract with a maximum of 500 words should be entered into the application form. Please note that the number of participants is limited to 60. Participants will be selected on the basis of their application form and on their abstract submitted (where applicable). Application deadline is December 15, 2010 (new deadline extension). Filled and signed forms should be sent to Marion Daniel at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (Email mdaniel@h-w-k).
Notification of Acceptance and Final Abstract Submission
Notification will be send by December 22, 2010. Once your application is accepted, you will receive a registration form from the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg by email with further instructions regarding transfer of conference fees and hotel reservations. In case of admission, you will be additionally requested to submit an extended abstract (1.000 to 2.500 words) that will be published in the HWK series “Hanse Studies” (with ISBN code). As we set a high value on a fruitful disciplinary and interdisciplinary exchange, each talk is provided with 20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion. The final program will be available in February 2011.
Workshop Fee and Student Grants
The workshop fee for participants amounts to 100,- €, which covers three nights in a hotel, daily shuttle service from the hotel to the conference site, daily lunch and dinner, snacks and drinks during the conference breaks, and workshop material. Note, that travel costs are not included in the workshop fee. PhD students who rely on financial support may apply for a grant by additionally sending a letter of motivation and details on current funding (Application deadline for grants is February 1, 2011). Financial support further requires a high-quality abstract to be submitted.
