Welcome!
The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce the 16. annual BCCCD Conference, January 15-17 2026 - BCCCD26.
Alongside our exciting invited program, we welcome symposium, talk, and poster submissions from all fields of cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings have featured a wide range of topics, such as communication, pragmatics, social cognition, conceptual development, language acquisition, numeracy, object cognition, perceptual learning, inductive learning, memory, executive function, metacognition, cognitive bases of culture, and comparative cognition.
We expect to hold BCCCD26 entirely in-person in Budapest. While we will provide recordings of the talks after the conference, we are not planning any online discussion space or interaction next year.
While CEU has relocated much of its operations to Vienna, we would like to reassure all prospective participants that we are committed to maintaining the tradition of the Budapest campus of CEU as the site of BCCCD meetings in 2026 and for the foreseeable future. We hope to see you there!
