[PHILOS-L] 2026 Spatial Cognition conference

[Jurģis Šķilters]

The Turner Kirk Centre for Spatial Reasoning at the University of Glasgow is delighted to host the 2026 Spatial Cognition conference from the 25th to 28th August 2026.

Workshops, symposia, posters and papers on various aspects of spatial cognition are all welcome. The conference will be in-person only.

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from fields such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education.

Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including aspects such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external representations of space, and communication of spatial information. SC 2026 will bring together researchers working on spatial cognition from all of these perspectives. The conference is single-track, and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks,

Jack Parkinson
