[CogSci] Life Improvement Science Conference - June 2021 - Call for submissions!

[Falk Lieder]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce a new conference that brings together 
researchers and practitioners interested in helping people do more good 
in better ways, developing themselves, and living a meaningful life. We 
call this emerging transdisciplinary research area Life Improvement 
Science <http://www.life-improvement.science>or LIS for short. The 
inaugural LIS conference will be held online in June 2021. Our goal is 
to bring together a multi-disciplinary community of researchers and 
practitioners interested in understanding and promoting well-doing.

*Life Improvement Science Call for Abstracts*

We are delighted to announce the *Call for Submissions* 
<https://www.life-improvement.science/call-for-submissions>. We invite 
abstracts for talks, posters, tutorials, symposia, panel discussions, 
and other topics relevant to life improvement science. We especially 
encourage contributions that further the dialogue about the most 
important open questions of life improvement science and how they can be 
addressed. Your talk, symposium, or panel discussion could highlight one 
or more important questions that life improvement science 
<https://sites.google.com/d/1dR_Zs4OtYKZFP2Y-_1acuQAoRUxDlrfe/p/1k3DVdfl4g4uZ5Tg59yEimbdZZeilJyxD/edit>should

open questions about well-doing, optimal personal development, and 
reducing ill-doing, such as these
