A clear connection between current societal challenges and the cognitive and humanistic sciences is important and relevant for showing how individual projects can create value both inside and outside the university. In this seminar, we wish to discuss the ways in which research can benefit and move forward, and often address unique questions, as a result of its applied nature. 

This one-day interdisciplinary seminar will focus on research that is conducted in public spaces or in society, and how research from the cognitive sciences and humanities can be applied in new ways. The seminar will present perspectives from different disciplines and approaches, with examples of research from e.g. museums, schools, and other institutions. The event will be relevant for anyone interested in a wide variety of methodologies for addressing research questions on human cognition or learning outside the walls of the university.
