What animals think

28.07.2021

Tecumseh Fitch has shaped the term 'cognitive biology' for about 30 years. The Head of the Department of Behavioral and Cognitive Biology is part of the organisation team of this year's Congress of Cognitive Science (CogSci2021).

Due to the ongoing global pandemic, the Cognitive Science Society will be delivering the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, “Comparative Cognition—Animal Minds”, in a virtual environment. Although we would have preferred to allow the opportunity for cognitive scientists from around the world to gather in-person in Vienna, continued COVID restrictions and risk-mitigation policies make this impossible. You therefore should not travel to Vienna with the intention of attending CogSci2021.
