We support this initiative with funding for their research excursions – such as their 2024 trip to Paris.

Cognitive Science Student Journal

Since its inception in 2022, we have supported the Journal with financial contributions to help fund their release parties.

IK Stipends

Each year we offer a limited number of partial stipends to support students who may not have the financial means to participate in the IK – a long-standing CogSci tradition.
With your support, we can extend this opportunity to even more students in the future.

Students’ talks and posters on conferences

We provide financial support to students for presenting their research at conferences—whether through talks or poster presentations—to support their academic and professional development.
