Launching Cognitive Science in Vietnam

Our aim is to raise the profile of Cognitive Science in Vietnam, create a network of practitioners, inspire new collaborations, and engage our students. We are supported in this endeavor by a grant from the Cognitive Science Society, which we gratefully acknowledge. The conference is co-sponsored by the VinUniversity Center for Environmental Intelligence, and College of Engineering & Computer Science.

Cognitive Science

In Vietnam, the general public, our students, and even many faculty are not aware of Cognitive Science as an inter-discipline, or what it can contribute to undergraduate education and to advancing science. We propose to convene diverse stakeholders from many Vietnamese Universities for a 1-day seminar, with a limited number of invited participants, and follow-up activities. Our aim is to raise the profile of Cognitive Science in Vietnam, create a network of practitioners, inspire new collaborations, and engage our students.

    About "Launching Cognitive Science in Vietnam"

    ‘Launching Cognitive Science in Vietnam’ is sponsored by VinUniversity, a university with over 900 talented students from dozens of countries worldwide, on its journey to become one of the top 50 young universities globally. The project is led by Professor K. David Harrison, the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at the university, who brings six years of experience leading a specialized program in Cognitive Science at Swarthmore College (USA). We have received a grant from the Cognitive Science Society and is one of only two projects among over 50 proposals submitted to be awarded funding. The project involves the participation of numerous VinUniversity professors from various fields such as Anthropology, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology, along with interested VinUniversity students. We have received generous support from the Cornell University-VinUniversity Project.
