Since the establishment of the European Research Council, UvA and AMC researchers have received 94 ERC grants. UvA is the top host organisation in the Netherlands. This event will be a celebration of the accomplishment and is meant to inspire for new opportunities to come.

The Grant team organises a support track for all candidates, consisting of a number of meetings with grant advisors, a laureate and a former committee member. Grant advisor Els den Os will chair the meeting and Jan Simons will share his experiences as a former committee member. If you would like to attend, please send an e-mail to subsidie-fgw at uva.nl or use the on-line form on our website.

Most of us believe that two heads are better than one. We also agree that too many cooks spoil the broth. What is it about people making decisions together that is captured by these contradictory yet intuitive ideas? The talk will explore this question from a number of different directions at dyadic (n=2), group (3<n<8) and crowd (1000<n) level decision making hoping to understand the cognitive basis of interactive decision making.

The kick-off workshop for the project Cognitive Semantics and Quantities will take place September 28 and 29 in Amsterdam. Everyone is cordially welcomed to attend.
