Top-class program offers fascinating insight into the world of the human brain and children's learning mechanisms
Babies and children learn through play and shape their cognitive, social and emotional skills in the process. But what makes learning in childhood so unique? What role do the mechanisms in the brain play? And what are the consequences of a lack of optimal learning conditions?
These and many other questions will be the focus of the upcoming Hector Fellow Academy 2024 symposium entitled "Why do children and adults learn differently?". The top-class program offers a fascinating insight into the world of the human brain. The renowned psychologist and neuroscientist Brigitte Röder (Universität Hamburg) and the invited speakers and experts Sebastian Frank (University of Regensburg), Ileana Hanganu-Opatz (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf), Thomas Elbert (University of Konstanz) and Martin Korte (Technische Universität Braunschweig) will present current research findings on the mechanisms of children's learning and trauma research. The science evening will be moderated by the well-known author and television presenter Andrea Grießmann (WDR).
The event continues the series of Germany-wide symposia of the Hector Fellow Academy (HFA). There, renowned experts present current research topics in a generally and understandable way and discuss future vision. The HFA is a young science academy that promotes cutting-edge interdisciplinary research around STEM fields, psychology and medicine.
The event will take place on July 11, 2024, at 6 pm at the University of Hamburg and will be simultaneously livestreamed. Attendance is free, and English simultaneous translation will be provided.
Interested persons are cordially invited to register for the symposium on site or via livestream via the Hector Fellow Academy website and immerse themselves in the fascinating world of the human brain.
