In the framework of the Swiss Center for Affective Science at Geneva’s University, we are organizing a conference about Learning, Brain & Emotion.

We have regrouped a panel of inspiring experts in that domain to offer a reflection about how brain and emotions impact learning processes and human development, particularly at school.

Please join us for this event, held at the Auditorium of the Campus Biotech in Geneva, on Friday, November 3rd, 9h45-17h30.

The conference will be followed by a closing Apero from 17h30 to 19h00.
