About
The 2025 CISE-SBE Workshop entitled "Deconstructing the Universal Mind" will be held in person over two days, Thursday, June 12th, 2025 and Friday, June 13th, 2025. The Workshop will be fully in-person to invited attendees at the National Science Foundation located on 2415 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia, 22314.
The goal of the workshop is to discuss cross-disciplinary approaches to universality and variability in the behavioral, neural, and cognitive sciences. Of particular interest is how to balance theory-building with situated models of development and behavior, and in the practical and methodological obstacles to making progress on these questions. Workshop outcomes could generate future funding possibilities at NSF on this topic.
The workshop will be organized around symposia featuring ~20 minute talks, but we will also schedule in substantial amounts of non-webcast discussion time.
