CANCELLATION
Given the many uncertainties surrounding the spread of Covid-19 the Organising Committee, together with the President of the University of Osnabrück, have decided to cancel the conference.
We are very sorry that we cannot have our meetings as planned. I am sure many of you were already making plans and we were so much looking forward to welcoming you to Osnabrück in May. But we hope you understand that public safety must be our top priority and that the only chance to slow down the spread is to avoid personal contact.
We are currently exploring the possibilities of hosting some online meeting in May. We will be in touch as soon as we have looked into this more carefully. All fees that have already been wired will be reimbursed.
Cognitive Futures in the Arts and the Humanities
15-17 May 2020 Osnabrück University, Osnabrück, Germany
The Cognitive Futures in the Humanities conference series goes back to its inaugural conference 2013 in Bangor, Wales. After highly successful events at Durham, Oxford, Helsinki, Stony Brook, Canterbury and Mainz, the 2020 conference in this series will take place at Osnabrück University, Germany (15-17 May, 2020).
Like the first conference in Bangor, CFAH 8 provides a forum and interface for scholars from various humanities, the arts, and cognitive science. In resonance with research expertise at Osnabrück the particular focus of CFAH 8 will be situated cognition and multimodal communication. In particular, we would like to invite papers and posters that concentrate on tractable problems (and how these can be solved) or that present current and innovative methodologies. Nevertheless, this conference is in no way restricted to these aspects or fields of research and submissions from the whole range of approaches represented in the Cognitive Futures in the Arts and Humanities network are welcome, including empirical as well as theoretical approaches.
For the first time, this conference will be held in conjunction with a spring school on “Cognitive Science meets the humanities and arts: building the next generation” (11-13 May, 2020) and the International Conference on Multimodal Communication (ICMC, 8-10 May, 2020).
The conference runs from Friday, 15 May 9am to Sunday, 17 May ca. 2pm.
