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. 

All are welcome - Registration is required (there are limited spaces): REGISTER HERE
