[visionlist] Fourth edition of the Seeing and Acting Workshop (SAW). University of Coimbra, Portugal, 24-26 September 2026

[Jorge Almeida]

Dear colleague,

(Sorry for the cross posting and mass email)

*Registration* and *abstract submission* are now *open* for
the fourth edition of the *Seeing and Acting Workshop (SAW
<https://www.uc.pt/cogbooster/saw/2026/>)* that will take place at the
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of
the University of Coimbra, *September 24-26, 2026 in Coimbra, Portugal*.

For the fourth edition of SAW, we have, once again, an exciting and
stimulating group of Invited Speakers:

·  *Marina Bedny*, Johns Hopkins University, USA

·  *Jeffrey Bowers*, University of Bristol, , UK

·  *Tim Kietzmann*, University of Osnabrück, Germany

·  *Robeta Klatzky*, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

·  *Kami Koldewyn*, Bangor University, UK

·  *Marius Peelen*, Radboud University, Netherlands

·  *Elizabeth Tibbetts*, University of Michigan, USA



The goal of SAW is to provide a forum for cognitive science/neuroscience
researchers from a range of perspectives who are interested in Perception
and Action, broadly construed, to come together to discuss their research
and develop new directions and collaborations. The format of
the workshop is intended to encourage extensive discussion among
participants. To this end, we have scheduled only a small number of invited
speakers, and there are no concurrent talks. In addition to the individual
seminars, there will be a poster session for students, postdocs and other
researchers to present their work.



*Abstract submission for posters closes on July 30, 2026*. The five best
abstracts whose first author is a student or postdoc will receive a 200
euro award sponsored by NeuroVerse.



Registration for the workshop will be open in a couple of weeks. To
register, submit a poster abstract, or for more information, please visit:
https://www.uc.pt/cogbooster/saw/2026/

Please note that there are a limited number of places (~120), which will be
assigned on a first come, first served basis. To secure your place, please
register as soon as possible. Note that you can register now and submit an
abstract later (but before the July 30, 2026 deadline).



SAW is powered by the ERA Chair CogBooster, and by the Faculty of
Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
