Cognitive Science at Heidelberg University

Cognitive science is a field of study encompassing a wide range of disciplines, approaches, and methods converging on the study of cognition. As an interdisciplinary endeavor, it relies heavily on transdisciplinary exchange and collaborative work.

Our vision is to establish a cognitive science network at Heidelberg University, spanning over all four Fields of Focus. Our mission is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations both in research and teaching.

Mind, brain, machine – The research conducted by the members of the network covers a broad range of topics. An overview can be found here.

The Cognitive Science Network has launched a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS), which allows students that are enrolled in any Master's or PhD program at Heidelberg University to broaden their perspective by taking courses offered by members of the network. More information can be found here.

If you work on topics in the domain of cognitive science or related fields and want to join the network, or would like to know more about the network and its goals, or if you are looking for expertise from members of the network, don't hesitate to contact us.

The Cognitive Science Network has been receiving financial support from the research councils of Field of Focus I, Field of Focus II,  Field of Focus III, and Field of Focus IV.
