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).
For a preliminary schedule see the Schedule page.
We recommend focusing primarily on one modeling paradigm with lectures and hands-on-tutorials. You can choose a second modeling paradigm and attend just the lectures. Of course, you are free to budget your time more or less as you wish, but past experience has found this to be the most fruitful for students.
To give students a broader picture of the field, there will be a special session ‘Cognitive Modelling in Action’, which will present practical applications of different modelling paradigms and give a taster of modelling approaches not covered in the four main tracks. There will also be two guest lectures. Participants are encouraged to attend both of these events.
To kick off the program, there will be a poster session, where students present themselves and their research. We will also get some time together outside of lectures with a city tour and our traditional spring school dinner!
