Conferences
CES2022 CONFERENCE | Aarhus, Denmark
We look forward to the fourth Cultural Evolution Society Conference, CES2022! The conference will be held from September 21-23 in the city of Aarhus, Denmark.
As last year, Underline will support the online component of the conference. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is causing a great deal of uncertainty for all of us. Therefore, we seek to offer a hybrid format that will hopefully allow some folks to travel to Aarhus, others to meet up locally or regionally in CES hub-lets, and others yet to participate online.
Thanks to funding support from the Department of Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, student registration will be offered free of cost for CES student members, and will be discounted for student non-members.
As a reminder the deadline to apply for themed sessions is March 21st.
Below is the link to the 2022 conference website, which will be updated as planning proceeds, so check back for new information. https://conferences.au.dk/ces2022/.
CES 2021
The 2021 conference (delayed due to the covid-19 pandemic) was held as a full virtual online meeting on June 9-11, 2021, and organised from Sapporo, Japan.
