Hear from expert women cognitive scientists across Europe about how to start and run your lab
About this event
Are you an early career researcher starting up your lab? Or thinking about it? You may have many questions, such as:
How to manage a team of researchers?
How to recruit staff and students?
How to manage budgets?
How to get grants? Or wind down a grant? Or balance working on one while planning others?
How to foster a healthy lab culture?
How to manage work-life balance as a PI and promote that in others?
How to overcome the challenges that may be faced by women, people of colour, or other underrepresented groups?
To commemorate International Women's Day, we are delighted to host this practical panel discussion to provide support and inspiration for starting and running a lab. Save the date and do not miss the opportunity to share experiences with leading women scientists in cognitive sciences across Europe. Everyone is invited!
The panel
Professor of Psychology of Language, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany
Nivi's work examines the factors underlying word learning and recognition in young children and views word learning as the result of a dynamic mutual interaction between the environment and the learner, with particular focus on the learner and what she knows, what she is interested in and, more recently, her motivation to learn
Reader in Psychology, Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Jessie conducts research on language and literacy in children, young people and adults. She is particularly interested in how reading benefits children’s learning and language. Jessie works closely with teachers, educational charities and policy makers to conduct research and consider its implications for education
Professor in Social Cognition in Human-Robot Interaction, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Genova, Italy; Adjunct Professor in Engineering Psychology, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden
Agnieszka was awarded the ERC Starting grant “InStance: Intentional Stance for Social Attunement” in 2016, and her research combines cognitive neuroscience methods with human-robot interaction in order to understand the human brain mechanisms in interaction with natural and artificial agents.
