(sorry for cross-posting)

We are delighted to welcome applications for the second edition of the
*Birmingham-Leiden
Summer School in Computational Social Cognition (CSC)
<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.compsoccog.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cfieldtrip%40science.ru.nl%7C393a0dc716ef45f9457908dd86441a4b%7C084578d9400d4a5aa7c7e76ca47af400%7C1%7C0%7C638814349237741073%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=0ma8sgYC2eqgUUg3g0OM3%2Bdb%2FWbXgKS22d7L7Bgdym0%3D&reserved=0>*. The summer school is hosted at the
University of Birmingham (UK), in collaboration with Leiden University
(NL), and will take place from 2nd-5th September 2025. Apply by 28th April
2025 (see information below)!

Attending the Birmingham-Leiden CSC Summer School will equip a diverse
cohort of early career researchers (trainees through to junior faculty
members) with the ability to understand, program, and interpret the output
of a range of computational models of social cognition (e.g., reinforcement
learning models, evidence accumulation models, Bayesian inference models)
and their potential interaction with other modalities of measurements
(e.g., fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking). Attendees will receive various types of
training (keynote lectures, workshops, tutorials, etc) and work on a group
project, both aimed at understanding modelling as well as the theoretical
and practical inferences that can be drawn from computational models under
social contexts.

Keynote speakers:
 - Matthew Rushworth, University of Oxford (UK)
 - Diana Tamir, Princeton University, (USA)
 - David Amodio, University of Amsterdam, (NL)
