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!

The colors of the humanities at this year's ZUP are defended by Renata Geld, associate professor of linguistics at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, founder and head of Center for Cognitive Science and the initiator and co-head of the graduate program in Applied Cognitive Science – affectionately called "the study of the future".
In her presentation, she will tackle the challenges brought to us by new technologies, but also certain specifically human qualities, abilities, knowledge and skills that we need to activate in order to build coexistence with technology instead of going to war with it.

DeSCarTes (Determining students' characteristics using educational robot technologies).
Croatian Science Foundation
Period: 15 January 2024. - 14 January 2028
Head of the project: Ana Sović Kržić (FER)
Members: Ivana Storjak (FER), Ljiljana Puškar (FER), Tomislav Jagušt (FER), Renata Geld (FF), Katarina Faraguna (FF)
About the project:
The aim of the DESCARTES project is to find an answer to the question of whether educational robots can help determine students' cognitive abilities (e.g., attention, perception, memory, spatial orientation, etc.).

We are rooting for our professors, co-heads of our MA in Applied Cognitive Science, Renata Geld and Dario Bojanjac, nominated for the Visionary of the Year for Technology.

Professor Dickey, a noted linguist and Professor at the University of Kansas, will give a lecture as part of the course Language structures and conceptualization with Professor Dickey Zooming in.
Place: FFZG - Lecture room A105
Time: Wednesday, 22 November, 6 pm
Although the lecture is primarily geared towards students attending the class, there should be enough room in A 105 for any other interested students or teachers, so if you find the topic interesting, come and join us!
Stephen M. Dickey received his PhD in Slavic Linguistics from Indiana University in 1997. He has published widely on Slavic verbal aspect and related verbal categories from a cognitive linguistic perspective.
Most recently he has published an open-access online textbook of Russian aspect for intermediate and advanced students, Russian Aspect in Conversation, with two native-speaker co-authors. He has also translated Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian fiction and poetry, including Meša Selimović’s Death and the Dervish, Borislav Pekić’s How to Quiet a Vampire, and Miljenko Jergović’s Ruta Tannenbaum.
