Understanding learning processes requires close collaboration among scientists representing a range of disciplines. Seemingly simple questions on the key mechanisms, effectiveness, motivation and conditions that underpin learning are in fact highly complex and require the application of a range of methods, tools and approaches. Answers can only be found by crossing and transcending the traditional boundaries between scientific disciplines. The conference “Cognitive Adventures: Learning” is an attempt to integrate current knowledge on the subject of learning with the aim to improve education in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
