The conference

Cognitio is a series of young researchers academic conferences held every year at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) since 2004. Young researchers from many countries and different fields related to cognitive science (psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, etc.) present their research and exchange with other scholars. Since Cognitio 2006, there is also a poster session. The particularity of the Cognitio conferences is a strong emphasis focus on interdisciplinarity (e.g. participants are always identified by their university, not their disciplines, and talks are regrouped by topic).
