European Social Cognition Network: International Travel to Prague, 2007

该项目将资助国际和平研究所和两名研究生介绍他们的研究并参加2007年9月在捷克共和国布尔诺举行的欧洲社会认知网会议的旅费。ESCON会议为交流社会认知领域的最新科学发展提供了一个国际论坛。这次会议的创新之处不仅在于它的跨国代表，还在于它为年轻的研究人员提供了一个平台--包括两名学生，他们的旅行将得到这笔赠款的资助--来展示他们的研究想法，并从该领域的各种专家那里获得广泛的反馈。作为受邀的全体演讲者之一，他将向国际观众介绍他对社会判断的研究，并将有机会与与会者更广泛和非正式地讨论他的工作。这次会议的一个更广泛的目标是促进国际研究合作，并为年轻研究人员提供更多融入国际科学界的机会。参加这次会议将促进国际和平研究所和研究生的研究事业，并将建立智力和社会跨国联系，这将对更广泛的社会认知领域产生积极影响。

This project will fund the travel of the PI and two graduate students to present their research and participate in the European Social Cognition Network (ESCON) conference to be held in Brno, Czech Republic in September 2007. The ESCON meeting provides an international forum for the exchange of the most recent scientific developments in the field of social cognition. This conference is innovative not only in its cross-national representation, but also in its provision of a platform for young researchers -- including the two students whose travel will be supported on this grant -- to present their research ideas and to receive extensive feedback from a variety of experts in the field. The PI, as one of the invited plenary speakers, will present his research on social judgment to an international audience and will have the opportunity to discuss his work more broadly and informally with attendees. One of the broader goals of this meeting is to foster international research collaborations and to develop additional opportunities for young researchers to become integrated into the international scientific community. Participation in this conference will both enhance the research careers of the PI and graduate students, and will establish intellectual and social cross-national connections that will have a positive impact on the broader field of social cognition.
