The spoken programme for the 2015 workshop is split into 4 main themes of social cognition: Evolution, Development, Mechanisms and Disorders. Two poster sessions showcasing work by students, postdoctoral and senior researchers will take place during the lunch and coffee breaks of each day of the workshop. Details of the keynote and invited speakers' talks are listed below. You can download the shortened version of the programme here
If you are presenting a poster, the posterboards we are using are designed to accommodate landscape A0- sized posters
