XXXV International Congress of the Spanish Society for Comparative Psychology (SEPC)
Description
The 35th Annual Meeting of the Spanish Society of Comparative Psychology (SEPC) continues the tradition of being one of the leading European meetings for professionals conducting cutting-edge research on cognition in humans and animals. This event serves as a platform to present, discuss and explore the latest international advances, employing innovative techniques on topics including (but not limited to) classical and instrumental conditioning, memory, attention, motivation, spatial learning and the neuroscience underlying these processes. The meeting fosters the exchange of ideas and facilitates the development and strengthening of national and international collaborative research initiatives.
When it becomes available, submissions may be submitted at the link at the end of this paragraph, currently inactive (Submissions). For oral presentations, priority will be given to submissions reporting completed experimental work and not to studies in progress.
Registration is available on the right (Registration button). The fee is 390 euros, and includes daily lunches for each day of the meeting and the three social events.
San Sebastian is a very touristic city, although the high season should end in September. Nevertheless, you should book your room in advance. We recommend the Barceló Costa Vasca (https://www.barcelo.com/en-es/barcelo-costa-vasca/), located 600 meters from the venue and very close to the center with easy access to bus lines.

Objectives
The first objective of the meeting is to disseminate current leading-edge advances in experimental research on cognition in humans and animals. The dissemination will take place through three invited plenary speakers and a symposium regarding opinions of the most important and upcoming issues related to comparative cognition, along with multiple oral and poster presentations submitted by members of the organization.
The second objective of the meeting is to foster collaborative relationships between different laboratories from across the world. This objective is facilitated by planned social activities through which persons with strong common interests, identified during the meeting presentations, can socialize and refine common research questions.

María del Carmen Sanjuán Artegain
UPV/EHU
I hold a PhD in Psychology from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), where I work as an Associate Professor in the Department of Basic Psychological Processes and their Development. My career combines teaching, research, and educational innovation, with over 20 years of experience in university education and the development of competitive scientific projects. I am a member of the consolidated research group Learning and Cognition. My research focuses on the study of learning, perception, and attention processes, with particular interest in how we learn to differentiate similar stimuli through mere exposure—especially after experiencing only one of them—and how context and prior experience influence the acquisition and extinction of associations. I teach courses on cognitive processes, integrating active methodologies to promote practical and autonomous student learning and the development of their scientific competencies. I also teach in the research master’s program at the Faculty of Psychology and have coordinated several educational innovation projects.
