The OCCAM (Osnabrück Computational Cognition Alliance Meeting) is organized by Gordon Pipa, Frank Jäkel and myself and brings together well established outstanding researchers  as well as young promising scientists. This year, the 6th workshop of the series, jointly with the socSMCs project that is coordinated by Andreas K. Engel, we focus on social interactions. The topic comprises theoretical, computational, physiological and robotics approaches. The program includes full length talks (see above), student presentations, a poster session, guided poster tours and a public talk to the general audience. We go to great length to actively involve all participants. Furthermore, there will also be time for informal discussions.

Osnabrück is a charming town with a long history many places worth visiting. It is conveniently
located at the intersection of major train routes and has a local airport with good connections to major hubs (Frankfurt, Munich, London-City Airport) as well as a selection of further direct connections. More detailed travel information can be found here.

We'd be happy if this meeting is of interest to you or your students and hope to welcome you in Osnabrück in summer 2017.

Best, Peter, Gordon, Frank & Andreas.
