Dear All,
 
We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the XIV. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, which is devoted to the Mechanisms of collective decision-making for cooperative actions. The conference will take place between 18 and 21 May 2023 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Collective decision-making is ubiquitous in the lives of primates, especially humans. In human groups, collective decisions give rise to various forms of cooperation including the attainment of goals that individuals could not reach on their own, the creation and refinement of artifacts and behavioural practices that benefit entire groups, as well as the establishment of norms and institutions that structure our everyday activities. Understanding how humans and other animals make and coordinate decisions that enable cooperative action has been a central question in the social and biological sciences. This conference brings together researchers from a range of disciplines including cognitive and developmental psychology, social neuroscience, and evolutionary biology who have substantially expanded our knowledge on this topic. By aggregating some of the latest research on the mechanisms underlying decision-making in cooperative actions the conference aims to provide an overview of the current state of the art as well as to identify key questions to be addressed in the future.

Invited speakers will include:
 

We invite poster submissions from all areas of cognitive science. Both theoretical and empirical posters are welcome.
