13th Biannual Conference of the German Society for Cognitive Science on 26 – 30 September 2016, Bremen, Germany.

ProSocrates’16: Problem Solving, Creativity and Spatial Reasoning in Cognitive Systems

The ProSocrates Symposium will take place on Friday the prosocrates30th of September, between 11.30 and 16.00, with a lunch break.

This will be preceded by Professor Bipin’s Indurkhya’s tutorial – Workshop on Creativity –which will take place in the same day between 9.00-11.00. This tutorial will offer the unique opportunity to participate in a creativity-stimulating exercise.
