TransCoG - Transdisciplinary Training in Cognition in Grenoble

Cognition, psychology, philosophy, linguistics
Within the TransCoG thematic program, master’s programs in cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy pool their resources to offer a high-level interdisciplinary program in cognitive science, supported by a broad research program on the brain and cognition. Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary training in cognition, with an international perspective and a focus on cognition in all its forms.
