A follow-up project EUCogII was proposed in Call 3 in April 2008, evaluated positively (15/15) and after a long negotiation process, we now have a contract and started the project. This means that we will invite you to become a member in our new network and participate in the work on the vision of the discipline. We expect that in early March we shall have a website and an online system for you to become a member (probably at the known address http://www.eucognition.org).

The euCognition wiki is being decommissioned. With the conclusion of the euCognition contract at the end of 2008, and the launch of the follow-on network in 2009 with its own website, the material from the euCognition wiki is being migrated to the euCognition website for archival. The Cognitive Systems Outreach Project, funded by euCognition Network Actions NA 044-3 and NA 044-4, has produced a considerable amount of useful introductory material on cognitive systems. An associated wiki also has some useful teaching material. A white paper Dynamic Field Theory (DFT): Applications in Cognitive Science and Robotics by Wolfram Erlhagen and Estela Bicho, University of Minho, Portugal, is now available. This workshop was supported by euCognition through Network Action NA 057-1. A Summary and the Proceedings of the 2008 Workshop on Interactive Robot Learning are now available. This workshop was supported by euCognition through Network Action NA 297-1.
