From 2006 to 2008, I coordinated the European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems: euCognition.

The network was funded by the European Commission and funding for this project was renewed in 2009, with a new name - EUCogII - but with the same web address: www.euCognition.eu.

The original website contains many research and teaching resources. It can still be accessed here.

The network has over 600 members drawn from a great variety of backgrounds, including neuroscience, psychology, artifical life, robotics, and philosophy.

Although euCognition is a European-funded project, membership is open to anyone, as long as they are actively involved in cognitive systems research and provided they are willing to contribute to the goals of the network.

The theme of the Second EUCogII members conference, 29 January 2009, was "Development of Cognition in Artificial Agents". I presented one of the keynote talks on the topic "Cognitive Development and the iCub Humanoid Robot". An abstract, the slides (3Mb), and a video of the talk are available on-line.
