Technological University Dublin, Ireland

https://eleceng.tudublin.ie/sc2024/

Submission deadline: January 15, 2024

The 2024 Spatial Cognition Conference will take place in TU Dublin, June 25-28, and is organised in partnership with SellSTEM – Spatially Enhanced Learning Linked to STEM – a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network investigating the role of spatial ability in and for STEM learning.

Workshops, symposia, posters, abstracts and papers on various aspects of spatial cognition are all welcome. The conference will be in-person only.

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from fields such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education.

SC2024 is supported by SellSTEM whose research theme is spatial ability in STEM learning. Therefore, submissions are also welcome that explore issues such as the role of spatial ability in STEM learning across all age groups, spatial ability development separate to or integrated with STEM, professional development for teachers to enhance spatial ability development in formal and informal learning environments and curriculum design and policy to promote spatial ability development.

The conference is single-track, and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, symposia and keynote talks.

Full papers will be published by Springer Link in the LNCS series (https://www.springer.com/series/558).
