Presentation – Values and cognition
The 19th AISC Conference will focus on the relationship between values and
cognition, a topic that defines a heterogenous set of problems that cuts
across the various souls of cognitive science, in a truly interdisciplinary
perspective. What role do values play within cognitive science research?
What ethical and social repercussions do the most recent discoveries in AI,
neuroscience, cognitive and comparative psychology have? What cognitive
processes are involved in aesthetic and moral judgements? How is evaluative
language processed? To properly address such questions, a variety of
viewpoints, coming from AI, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and
psychology are needed. We welcome presentations on the state of the art and
on ongoing research, as well as presentations on perspectives that
encourage interdisciplinary dialogue among the various subdisciplines of
cognitive science.

Grants and Prizes
AISC Student Travel Grants
In 2023 three AISC Student Travel Grants (up to 250 Euros each) were
established to support attendance at the Society’s conference for AISC
student members. Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for travel
support to attend the conference. Any student who is the presenter of a
paper accepted at the conference is eligible. Awardees will be selected on
the basis of submission quality as emerged from the reviewers’ scores (in
case of equal judgment, the younger candidate will have precedence). After
paper acceptance and decisions have been made, selected authors will be
contacted by the AISC Conference Awards Chairs. Student authors who want to
be considered for the grant as part of the submission process can send an
email to: marco.fasoli@gmail.com and aisc2023@unige.it
Vittorio Girotto Prize, Best Paper AISC
From all abstracts accepted for the conference, the best works are eligible
for the Best Paper AISC prize, established in memory of Vittorio Girotto.
Authors of selected contributions will receive an invitation to submit an
extended version of their works to the journal Sistemi Intelligenti. The
Editorial Board of Sistemi Intelligenti will determine the winning paper,
which will be published with special mention on the journal. Additionally,
the authors will receive a 300 euros book voucher from the publisher of the
journal, Il Mulino. Other finalist papers will be mentioned on the journal,
and it is possible they will be published there as well, if deemed of
adequate scientific value by the Editorial Board.
Maria Miceli Prize
From the abstracts accepted for the conference, the best works on topics
involving the psychology of emotions, social interaction, anticipation, and
values are eligible for the Marica De Vincenzi Foundation's Maria Miceli
Prize. The prize consists of a €1,000 award, as well as the publication of
the winning work in the journal "Sistemi Intelligenti”. The prize is open
to any work presented at AISC or AIP conferences that addresses the themes
of Maria Miceli's research, for whom the prize is named. The AISC executive
board and the conference organizing committee will select the AISC
nominees, who must then submit full papers, following deadlines and formats
that will be published on the AISC website.
