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, 13:00 - 02:00
Where: Mensa & Campus Westerberg, Barbarastraße 20, 49076 Osnabrück
