We are excited to announce that the next EARLI SIG 22 (Neuroscience & Education) meeting will be held in Leiden, The Netherlands, on Thursday and Friday 3-4 September 2026.

We are also pleased to build on our long-standing partnership with IMBES (International Mind, Brain and Education Society) by hosting two concurrent meetings – IMBES in San Diego and SIG 22 in Leiden, The Netherlands – taking place on the same dates. This collaboration will provide members of both societies with opportunities to share their work

The SIG 22 conference aims to bring together researchers from education, cognitive and developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and related interdisciplinary fields to explore how children learn and develop. Taking interdisciplinarity as a core principle, we aim to build bridges between educational research and neuroscience through empirical, theoretical, and methodological dialogue. The conference will cover behaviorual, neural, and mixed-methods approaches to learning and education across the lifespan, and the promises and challenges of combining neural and educational data. We warmly welcome submissions from across the full spectrum of educational and neuroscience research – not limited to neuroscience. We especially encourage work that promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration and supports early-career researchers.
