CogSci Space Day 2026

Let's celebrate!

25 years of the Institute of Cognitive Science – that’s twenty-five years of brilliant minds, cutting-edge research, and a community like no other.

Instead of a formal academic program, we want to celebrate by coming together to experience the unique strengths and the vibrant spirit of our community. It’s a day to:

Celebrate: We’re honoring a quarter-century of curiosity and innovation. Most importantly: we are throwing a big party to celebrate this milestone together!
Connect: Catch up with old friends, meet the new generation of students, and reconnect your orbits in a relaxed atmosphere.
Experience: Feel the energy and the diverse skills that make our CogSci community so special.
Enjoy: Hands-on workshops, science convention, a stellar stage program, live music, food & drinks, and one huge party!

When: Saturday, October 24, 2026 - noon ‘til midnight
Where: Campus Westerberg, Osnabrück

Whether you were part of the very first cohort or just started your first semester: come as you are, bring your energy, and let’s make this anniversary unforgettable.

Stay tuned! The exact times and program will be announced soon.
