Welcome to ESCON TKC 2007 website
We are very much pleased to invite you all to the 9th European Social Cognition Network Transfer of Knowledge Conference that will take place at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic from 5th to 9th September 2007.
This conference, held under the auspices of the European Social Cognition Network is organized by the Czech group of ESCON, and hosted by the Institute for Research on Children, Youth and Family and the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Social Studies. For the kind support of this unique scholarly event, we are to thank to European Science Foundation.
The organizing committee has the pleasure to announce the participation of four prominent invited speakers - prof. Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), prof. Anne Maass (Universitá degli Studi di Padova), prof. Leaf Van Boven (University of Colorado), and prof. Diederik A. Stapel (Tilburg University), who will take part in the conference together with their doctoral students. Our guests will present their keynote lectures in the plenary sessions, to which all colleagues are warmly welcome.
Also this year, the Best Paper Award will be awarded for the best paper submitted by a PhD researcher. Candidates may submit published as well as unpublished work. This year’s awardee is Silvia Tomelleri (University of Padova) for her paper entitled „Gender and race on the brain: Electrophysiological studies about the automaticity of social categorization and stereotyping“. The author will be given a special presentation session.
We believe Brno promises to be an outstanding TKC and hope to create together an atmosphere of cooperation and fruitful exchange of ideas.
