*Theme: The Explaining Mind*

The human mind dedicates significant resources to generating and evaluating
explanations for a vast array of phenomena, concepts and entities —
including the mind itself. The study of explanations is an
interdisciplinary enterprise that brings together research from a broad
range of disciplines and has profound implications for virtually all areas
of human knowledge. Part of this work consists of identifying the methods
and approaches best suited to defining what makes an explanation
meaningful, as well as how natural and artificial systems carry out
explanatory tasks. To properly address such questions, a variety of
viewpoints are needed. In this sense, cognitive science, interdisciplinary
by nature, is uniquely equipped to advance our understanding of the topic.

The 18th AISC Conference will focus on the theme of the explaining mind, by
considering a spectrum of issues. We welcome presentations on the state of
the art and on ongoing research, as well as presentations on perspectives
that encourage dialogue among the various subdisciplines of cognitive
science.

*Grants and Prizes*

*AISC Student Travel Grants* *– *In 2022 three grants (up to 250 Euros
each) were established to support attendance at the Society’s conference
for AISC student members. Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for
travel support to attend the conference. Any student who is the presenter
of a paper accepted at the conference is eligible. Awardees will be
selected on the basis of submission quality as emerged from the reviewers’
scores (in case of equal judgment, the younger candidate will have
precedence).

Student authors can send an email to giulia.andrighetto at gmail.com and
infoaisc2022 at gmail.com and indicate whether they want to be considered for
the grant as part of the submission process. After paper acceptance
decisions have been made, selected authors will be contacted by the AISC
Conference Awards Chairs.



*Maria Miceli Prize *– From the abstracts accepted for the conference, the
best works on topics involving the psychology of emotions, social
interaction, anticipation and values are eligible for the Marica De
Vincenzi Foundation's Maria Miceli Prize. The prize consists of a €1,000
award, as well as the publication of the winning work in the journal
"Sistemi Intelligenti”.

The prize is open to any work presented at AISC (midterm or annual) or AIP
conferences that addresses the themes of Maria Miceli's research, for whom
the prize is named. The AISC executive board and the conference organizing
committee will select the AISC nominees, who must then submit full papers,
following deadlines and formats that will be published on the AISC website.
