The second day will focus on various political\, social and epistemic issues considered through the lens of empirical research. Both days will begin with a workshop\, followed by oral presentations by PhD students. On the third day\, the conference will be centered around future directions of research in cognitive science\, and its broader implications. PhD students will have the opportunity to present their work on the topic and review the work presented throughout the conference during a roundtable discussion at the end of the last day.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Conference Themes and Questions&nbsp\; &nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p>The two workshops will cover the topics of <strong>conceptual change</strong> and <strong>activism in science</strong>\, respectively. We warmly encourage interested parties to volunteer for running the workshops. Volunteers will have <strong>15</strong> to <strong>20 minutes</strong> in total to introduce their ideas\, which will then be discussed in a group setting.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>We also invite contributions on the following topics:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Predictive Processing</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Free energy\, modelling\, active inference</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Anticipation and Perception</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Causal reasoning\, representations of momentum and change\, biased perception\, how goals impact perception</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Uncertainty and Reasoning</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Knowledge and belief\, justification\, practical and moral reasoning\, emotions and cognition (epistemic anxiety and doubt)\, understanding\, evidence\, accuracy\, reliability&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Epistemic Trust&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Testimony\, epistemic authority\, epistemic injustice\, source trust</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Addressing Climate Change</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Climate misinformation\, integration of cognitive science research in policy making\, climate belief formation\, motivating climate action&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>The Erosion of Democracy</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Personal\, social\, and political identity\, motivated reasoning\, mis and disinformation\, perceptions of democracy and ethics</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future Directions</strong></p>\n</li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Understanding reality\, subjectivity and the limits of human knowledge\, unified theory\, political change\, science in action&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<p>Presenters will have <strong>15 minutes</strong> for their talk\, followed by a <strong>5-minute</strong> Q&amp\;A session with other speakers in the block\, and a <strong>15-minute</strong> panel discussion with the audience.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Submission Guidelines</strong></p>\n<p>We welcome submissions from PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers at early stages of their career.
