Date: 16 - 17 September 2021
Location: Bolzano (Italy) and Virtual
Deadline: Sunday 16 May 2021

"Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application" (CARLA) is an international workshop aimed at fostering interdisciplinary exchange about research on concepts. The workshop is open for research on any aspect of concepts, but there are three overarching topics that are of special interest with the following (not exhaustive) list of exemplary subtopics:

 - Representation: How can we formally describe and model concepts?
 - Learning: Where do concepts come from and how are they acquired?
 - Application: How are concepts used in cognitive tasks?

This workshop provides an excellent opportunity to present and discuss ongoing research on concepts, both from theoretical/formal and applied/experimental viewpoints. CARLA 2021 is currently planned to be conducted as a *hybrid* event allowing for both physical and virtual attendance. Invited Speakers: Monique Flecken and Antonio Lieto.

We invite concept researchers from all fields related to cognitive science to submit abstracts to the workshop. We invite contributions from all fields related to cognitive science, including (but not limited to) linguistics, artificial intelligence, psychology, philosophy, logic, and computer science. The abstracts should use two to three pages (including references) and should be uploaded as pdf based on a template downloadable from the conference website.
