European Social Cognition Network: International Travel to Warsaw, 2009

这笔旅行补助金用于支付国际和平协会和两名研究生参加在波兰华沙举行的欧洲社会认知网络(ESCON)第十一届知识转移年会的旅费。会议将于2009年8月26日至30日举行。大约120名与会者将参加会议，他们将来自15个欧洲国家和美国。会议将包括四个平行会议的90个专题介绍，以及四个有主旨发言人的全体会议。本次会议提供了一个论坛，初级研究人员可以在这里展示他们与社会认知相关的最新研究成果，并接收反馈，最终目的是实现会议对新一代社会认知研究人员的培训和联网功能。作为全体演讲者之一，国际和平协会将向国际观众介绍她的研究成果，并在会议期间和更非正式的会议互动环境中讨论她的工作。陪同PI的两名研究生还将介绍他们的研究，并有机会从反馈和与初级和高级社会认知研究人员的互动中受益。总体而言，这次会议将提供充分的机会，在能够实现跨国知识共享的背景下，建立联系、学习和刺激与社会认知相关的研究。
