Cognitive Neurosciences at PENCO-CONICET

We want to communicate the constitution of the Platform of Cognitive Neurosciences and Behavioral Sciences of Argentina (PENCO-CONICET). More than 40 groups from all over the country come together to study neurosciences and cognitive sciences in health, education, engineering, psychology, medicine, biology, physics, technology, computing, philosophy and neurosciences. The platform was formed with the objective of coordinating capacities, promoting dialogue, and generating proposals for the consolidation of the field in our country. Likewise, the platform aims to establish relationships with stakeholders in the field of public policies and the productive sector such as health, education, technology and development.

We would also like to congratulate Dr. Agustín Ibáñez who will be its general coordinator, Drs. Sedeño, García and Martínez Cuitiño who will work in the health commission, to Dr. Maria Roca who will work in the extension commission and to Dr. Pedro Beckinschtein who will work in the translative and extension commission.
