The European Social Cognition Network (ESCON) is dedicated to providing a collaborative and interactive platform for cutting edge social cognition research.

Three specifically tailored programs will provide various forums for promoting transfer of knowledge, new theoretical developments, and an international research training package.                                                                                                                                        

• Transfer of Knowledge Conferences aimed at promoting and networking young social cognition researchers
• Innovative and Integrative Expert Meetings bringing together researchers at the frontiers of social cognition
• Research Training Program for social cognition that is internet-based                                      

Together, this set of interrelated programs are designed to enhance collaboration and the development of joint research projects, and lead to a network that could be run independently within a period of five years.
