Dear Colleagues,
Due to a scheduling conflict, we have to shift the 16th annual BCCCD meeting in Budapest, Hungary to one week later,
January 15–17, 2026. All the deadlines regarding the conference remain the same (see below). We are sorry for this inconvenience.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Alongside our invited program, we welcome symposium, talk, and poster submissions reporting studies from all fields of cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings featured a wide range of topics, such as communication, pragmatics, social cognition, conceptual
development, language acquisition, numeracy, object cognition, perceptual learning, inductive learning, memory, executive function, metacognition, cognitive bases of culture, and comparative cognition.
We will have a single deadline for all symposium, talk, and poster submissions. Authors can elect to have talk submissions considered for posters as well. You can find the timeline of the submission and review process below or at this link:

We also welcome proposals for half-day pre-conference workshops or tutorials relevant to the BCCCD audience.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission opens: June 20, 2025
Submission deadline: September 5, 2025
Pre-conference workshop submission deadline: October 3, 2025
Notification of decision*: November 3, 2025
Registration opens: November 4, 2025
*For authors who require a visa to attend, we can provide a letter to support your visa application shortly after the submission deadline.
We expect to hold BCCCD26 entirely in-person in Budapest. While CEU has relocated much of its operations to Vienna, we would like to reassure all prospective participants that we are committed to maintaining the tradition of the Budapest campus of CEU as the
site of BCCCD meetings in 2026 and for the foreseeable future. We hope to see you there!
