Welcome to SweCog
SweCog is the Swedish national graduate school in Cognitive Science. It is open for graduate students in Cognitive Science and related disciplines, as well as graduate students with an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science, regardless of their area of specialization, and for all graduate students interested in Cognitive Science but taking their degree in closely related areas such as philosophy, computer science, psychology, linguistics and others. SweCog does not issue any degrees and is not a graduate program; all graduate students are admitted to graduate studies at one of the participating universities: Umeå, Stockholm, Linköping, Skövde, Göteborg, Lund. Research at the participating universities cover a wide range of basic and applied areas of Cognitive Science, e.g. cognitive robotics, comparative and evolutionary cognition, multimodal communication, social and cognitive aspects of human computer interaction, joint cognitive systems, studies of consciousness.
The aim of the graduate school is to create a wider and richer research environment for graduate students in Cognitive Science. The graduate school gives graduate courses, has a bi-annual conference, organizes a summer school, and supports interaction between the different universities through sponsoring graduate students visits to other participating universities, as well as supervision by professors from other universities.
The graduate school’s head and administrative center is Linköping University.
