Dear All,

We are pleased to announce the XIII. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, which is devoted to the topic of Cognitive and Functional Perspectives on Emotions. The conference will take place between 19 and 22 May 2022 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. 

Emotions are at the core of the human experience. After long having been marginalized in the study of cognition, affective phenomena are increasingly moving into the focus of researchers from across cognitive science. In spite of this renewed interest, however, there remains much disagreement about the evolutionary origins, functional profiles, and universality of human emotions. This conference aims to bring together researchers from a range of diverse fields to present and discuss state-of-the-art research about the mechanisms and functions of emotions in our species.

Invited speakers will include:

Carlos Crivelli — De Montfort University, UK

Guillaume Dezecache — Université Clermont Auvergne, France

Alan Fiske — University of California, Los Angeles, US

Debra Lieberman — University of Miami, US

Lawrence Ian Reed — New York University, US

Disa Sauter — University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

As of December 2021, we are planning to hold a traditional, in-person conference in Dubrovnik. Please keep in mind that DUCOG 2022 is contingent on global pandemic conditions. In case we are unable to hold the conference in Dubrovnik, we will announce further details before registration starts.

Poster abstract submissions will be open between 1 January and 28 February 2022.

On behalf of the organisers,

Denis Tatone
