Pre-conference tutorials: There is an additional 40 EUR fee to attend pre-conference tutorials. This year, we have three tutorials, all taking place in parallel on the morning of Thursday 15 January (including a catered coffee break).

Tutorial 1: Thinking Like a Baby: Using Concept Mapping to Build an Infant Cognition Framework

Tutorial 2: The format and structure of thought in the developing mind

Tutorial 3: Hands-on Generalised Mixed-Effects Models in R

The tutorials have limited capacity and spots will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Those presenting in a pre-conference workshop or tutorial are not required to pay the additional fee.

Gala dinner: Continuing a popular annual tradition, there will be a gala dinner and dance party after the end of the conference on Saturday 17 January. There is an additional fee for the gala dinner. We hope you will join us for a night of celebration at the end of the conference!
