NCCR Colloquium

The NCCR co-hosts a series of talks between the Universities of Geneva (“Brain & Cognition Seminars”), Zurich (“ISLE Colloquium”) and Neuchâtel (“CogSci”). These talks take place during the Fall and Spring semesters, once per semester in every institution . You can find the next scheduled talks here.

Workshops

Having the opportunity to attend workshops tailored to the ECRs needs is what the NCCR is trying to achieve. Whether it be through writing retreats, grant writing workshops, etc. the education office is always open to suggestion, and organises regular recurrent workshops.

Annual Schools and Retreats

Every year, the NCCR Evolving Language organises a school/retreat. This week long event is an opportunity to gather all the NCCR members in one place, where new ideas and group cohesion is of utmost importance.

A week in Champéry with the members of the NCCR

The members of the NCCR Evolving Language gathered last week for the Winter School and Annual Retreat of the consortium in sunny Champéry. Over a few days, around 110 of our researchers presented their work, and connected with colleagues, from PhD students to senior professors. Between introductions to the core disciplines of evolutionary language science and workshops on statistics and ethics, members were encouraged to interact and get to know each other!

This event is crucial to us as it fosters innovative transdisciplinary collaboration between research groups. As our researchers work from all over Switzerland, it provides a rare and valuable opportunity for them to interact in person, bridging the distance that usually separates them.
