Brown Bag Lectures 2009

The Cognitive Sciences Brown Bags are public lectures that deal with aspects of cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence. They are organized by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Zurich. The atmosphere is meant to be informal to stimulate discussion and we often serve food and drinks during the talks.

Locations:

AND: Andreasstrasse 15, 8050 Zürich Oerlikon ( map )
BIN: Binzmühlestrasse 14, 8050 Zürich Oerlikon ( map )
