The Annual meeting of the SCSC is an international conference that aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange and advance the scientific study of the interactions between culture and cognition. The meeting brings together researchers from diverse fields and backgrounds and welcomes empirical, theoretical, and methodological contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, education, anthropology, archaeology, and the arts. Since its founding in Lisbon in 2018, the SCSC has sought to broaden the scientific study of cognition beyond WEIRD populations, encouraging research that reflects the diversity of human cultures and experiences.
