Old events

ARF 2019

The next edition of the Annual Research Forum (ARF) will take place on February 7th and 8th 2019, at the ‘Campus Biotech’ in Geneva (Auditorium - Hall H8.01).

We aim at gathering Swiss researchers working on emotion or affect and fostering communication between them. We hope this event to be the right place for an update on the research carried out in the affective sciences in Switzerland and the Center itself, in a convivial atmosphere.

To offer the opportunity to as many teams as possible to give a talk and avoid having a too intensive day, we have decided to organize this event on two days, with keynotes, talks, success stories and poster sessions.

The members of the Swiss Doctoral School in Affective Sciences will receive credits for their participation, and prizes will be awarded to the best posters based on their scientific excellence and accessibility to all disciplines.
