After visiting Montreal in spring for the RoCoCo and in autumn for the WikiSym, here is the opportunity to come back for the summer!

Although not focused on wikis as such, some of you might be interested by the last 4 days of this Summer Institute on social cognition, which include lectures on knowledge communities, knowledge production and sharing or collective intelligence, to name but a few.

*** REGISTRATION NOW OPEN / EARLY REGISTRATION FEE UNTIL APRIL 15 ***

The Cognitive Sciences? Institute organizes a Summer Institute to which you can register and receive three (3) credits towards your degree.

Entitled Minds and Societies, the 2008 Summer Institute will again address an important current topic in cognitive science: social cognition.

The Institute is gathering leading researchers on the interface and transition between individual ideas and minds and collective, distributed ones (biosocial psychology, cognitive anthropology, social neuroscience, distributed cognition, extended mind philosophy, etc.).

We hope that all will be stimulated by this confluence of perspectives. Confirmed speakers include (alphabetically): Daniel Batson, Paul Bloom, Richard Byrne, Angelo Cangelosi, Rosaria Conte, Daniel Dennett, Terrence Deacon, Merlin Donald, Shimon Edelman, Christian Fellbaum, Rob Goldstone, Philip Jackson, Frank Keil, Andrew Meltzoff, ?lisabeth Pacherie, Jesse Prinz, Deb Roy, Rebbeca Saxe, Barry Wellman, and many more (see our web site: http://www.summer08.isc.uqam.ca/).

Our first Summer Institute in Cognitive Science brought together more than 150 local and international participants who met and exchanged ideas on the topic of categorization. It was a great success according to all involved, and has spawned an authoritative 32-chapter text on the matter, the Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science, Cohen and Lefebvre (eds.) (2005), Elsevier.

The advantages of a Summer Institute:

? Classes given by top researchers in their field; ? Meeting high caliber foreign students who share your interests; ? Networking; ? Several related activities which will help develop your knowledge of related fields (poster session http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/custom/cfp-socialCognition.pdf, thematic dinners, etc.); ? A PhD level course during the summer (which can be rare in some faculties); ? Getting 3 credits in ten days (+ a paper at your leisure during the summer);

The registration process contains one or two steps according to whether you want to obtain credits or not.

1. Anyone wishing to attend the Summer Institute must fill in the form on our web site and pay the course fee: http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/index.php/eteisc/SS2008/schedConf/regis tration 2. If additionally you wish to receive credits for attendance and:

? You are a PhD student from the Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al: See your department?s graduate study advisor (or his/her assistant) and register to one of these classes:

? DIC938H-01. Cognition Sociale ? PHI9026. Sujets sp?ciaux ? LIN9950. S?minaires th?matiques ? PSY9517. Probl?mes contemporains en psychologie sociale

? You are a Master?s level student from the Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al: Please write to us (summer08.isc at uqam.ca) or speak with your graduate program director. The summer Institute welcomes all graduate students and will adjust required coursework to reflect the student?s level. ? You are a student from a Canadian university: Please contact our registrar?s office: franco-canada at regis.uqam.ca. ? You are a student from the US and abroad: You will simply have to complete a form upon arrival to be admitted as an independent student.

Note that, depending of your situation, additional registration costs may be charged by UQAM or your own university in order to get these credits.

*** LES INSCRIPTIONS SONT MAINTENANT OUVERTES / FRAIS R?DUITS JUSQU?AU 15 AVRIL ***

L?Institut des Sciences Cognitives organise un Institut d??t? auquel vous pouvez vous inscrire et recevoir trois (3) cr?dits. L'Institut d??t? de 2008, intitul? Minds and Societies, traitera cette fois encore d?une question importante et d?actualit? en sciences cognitives?: la cognition sociale.

L'institut regroupera les principaux chercheurs ? la fronti?re entre la cognition individuelle et celle de nature collective et distribu?e (psychologie biosociale, anthropologie cognitive, neurosciences sociales, cognition distribu?e, philosophie de l'esprit ?tendu, etc.). Nous esp?rons que tous seront stimul?s par cette convergence de perspectives.

Les conf?renciers confirm?s incluent (en ordre alphab?tique) : Daniel Batson, Paul Bloom, Richard Byrne, Angelo Cangelosi, Daniel Dennett, Terrence Deacon, Merlin Donald, Shimon Edelman, Christian Fellbaum, Rob Goldstone, Philip Jackson, Frank Keil, Andrew Meltzoff, ?lisabeth Pacherie, Jesse Prinz, Deb Roy, Rebbeca Saxe, Barry Wellman, et bien d?autres, (voir notre site?: http://www.ete08.isc.uqam.ca/).

Notre premier Institut d??t? en sciences cognitives a rassembl? plus de 150 participants locaux et internationaux qui se sont rencontr?s et ont ?chang? autour de la question de la cat?gorisation. De l?avis de tous les participants, ce premier Institut d??t? fut un ?norme succ?s, qui a donn? naissance ? un ouvrage important sur le sujet, le Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science (sous la direction d?Henri Cohen et de Claire Lefebvre, publi? chez Elsevier).

Quels sont les avantages de s?inscrire ? l?Institut d??t???

? Des cours donn?s par des sommit?s internationales dans le domaine?; ? La chance de rencontrer des ?tudiants ?trangers de haut calibre partageant vos int?r?ts?; ? La possibilit? d??tablir des liens de r?seautage (pour ?tudes ult?rieures, stages, postdoc)?; ? Plusieurs activit?s connexes qui vous aideront ? d?velopper vos connaissances (s?ances de communication par affiche http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/custom/cfp-socialCognition.pdf, soupers th?matiques, etc.)?; ? Un cours durant l??t? (ce qui est quelques fois rare aux ?tudes sup?rieures)?;? ? La chance d?obtenir 3 cr?dits en dix jours plus un travail ? compl?ter pendant l??t?.

? Si vous ?tes ?tudiants ? la ma?trise ou finissant au baccalaur?at, veuillez nous ?crire ou consulter la direction des ?tudes sup?rieures de votre programme pour discuter de la possibilit? de faire cr?diter un cours de ma?trise.
