About Us

Founded in 2023, CogNet was established to bring together early-career researchers from diverse disciplines at Aarhus University with a shared passion for the brain, mind, and behavior. Our goal is to foster communication, collaboration, and the exchange of innovative ideas across various research domains. By creating a vibrant, interdisciplinary community, we aim to break down barriers between fields and advance cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science.

At CogNet, we understand that building a strong research network goes beyond academic collaboration. That’s why we also host regular social events where members can relax, connect, and truly build a sense of community. Whether you're diving into deep discussions or simply enjoying a break, CogNet offers a space to grow both professionally and personally as we explore the complexities of the mind together.
