Our Basler Chair in 2006 will be Dr. G. Kampis a world famous professor from Hungary. He established a very challenging and interesting program "one-semester certificate program in Cognitive Science" The program will be in English, most students is coming from the USA and the faculty is consist of world famous lecturers. The details about the program can be found here http://hps.elte.hu/BSCS .
I found that this program would be very interesting for students who is involved with IQB, so I asked Dr. Kampis to write a short excerpt about the program (see below). I would like to encourage everyone to think about this possibility. I contacted with ETSU international Office and we are working on possibilities how to make this cooperation easy for our students. f you need any further assistance please contact with Prof. Kampis or me.
