Old events

ARF 2020

The next edition of the Annual Research Forum (ARF) will take place on February 4th and 5th 2020, at the ‘Campus Biotech’ in Geneva (Auditorium - Hall H8.01).

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

To offer the opportunity to as many teams as possible to present their work, and to avoid having too intensive a day, this event will be organized in two days comprising 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.

We look forward to meeting you there!
