Cognitive scientists disrupting education at the Centre for Cognitive Science!

We are embarking on a new round of promoting cognitive science and informing prospective students about our MA in Applied Cognitive Science.

Introductory talk by Institute Professor Mark Turner: The Integrated Study of the Mind 🧠🤖 followed by the program overview by professors Renata Geld and Dario Bojanjac.

📚Scientific research, language, translation

Professor Nataša Pavlović and professor Mateusz-Milan Stanojević coauthored an amazing book based on their 10-year experience of co-teaching a related course and more than 20 years of research into the complexities of language(s) and their translation.

📚Disruption of the common and significance of meaning: cognitive linguistics in learning and teaching

Professor Renata Geld just published an entrancing book on a peaceful disruption that involves minor or major educational turns aimed at empowering the student's experience on the one hand and cognitive processes on the other. When it comes to language, that is, its learning and teaching, then we are talking about an unbreakable triad of languages, cognition and experience.

📺🌟Our amazing students and their professors from the MA in Applied Cognitive Science 🧠 were featured on Croatian primetime news (Dnevnik) sharing insights about cognitive science and their motivation to pursue interdisciplinary career(s) connecting STEM with humanities and social sciences.

Sofascore has more than 25 million users. Each user has their own experience of using the app. How to keep making it better for everyone?

A big part of figuring that answer out comes from the UX research team, and a big part of our collaboration with Sofascore will be a secret task that will be revealed to our students on the spot!
