Attending Students
The scientific committee, faculty, staff and organizers of the first Latin American School for Education, Cognitive and Neural Sciences, would like to express their most sincere thanks to the hundreds applicants from fifty two different countries who expressed interest in attending the School.
The list of selected students is accessible on the Students' web page. We would like to stress that the selection process has been particularly difficult because we could only accept fifty two candidates for this first year of the School. All applicants were very well qualified and manifested a remarkable interest in exploring the link between education, cognition and neural sciences.
If you applied but were not selected this year, we hope you will submit an application to future sessions of the Latin American School for Education, Cognitive and Neural Sciences.
We appreciate your interest in the School and hope that you will contact us if you have any queries.
Sincerely,
The LA School for Education, Cognitive and Neural Science Organizing Committee
