*** We are excited to announce the eighth Spring School on Cognitive Modeling in Groningen, from 30 March-2 April 2026! ***

The Spring School will cover four different modeling paradigms: ACT-R, Nengo, PRIMs, and for the first time Neuromorphic Intelligence. Each of these topics consists of a series of lectures, as well as a number of hands-on exercises (tutorials).

Past years have shown that students get most out of the spring school if they really emerge themselves into one modeling paradigm. We therefore recommend you choose one topic for which you will attend both the lectures as well as the tutorials. In addition, you can select a second paradigm, for which you attend the lectures only.

To give students a broader picture, there will be a guest lecture, as well as a lecture series on cognitive modeling. These lectures will give an introduction to other modeling paradigms, as well as practical research examples to show you what can be done with the modeling paradigms presented! Everyone is encouraged to attend those lectures.

To round off the program, there will be a poster session, where students present themselves and their research, as well as our (in)famous spring school dinner.

Registration will open soon!
