The 15th A-Dok Conference, organized by Anton Koger, Matilde Simonetti, and Luigi Falanga, was held in Aachen from May 25th to 27th. As an annual gathering for early-career researchers in Germany, A-Dok has long been a hub for scientific exchange in the fields of experimental and cognitive psychology.
This year’s multidisciplinary program featured exciting talks, posters, and discussions on topics ranging from language and cognitive control to decision-making and perception-action dynamics. In addition to engaging talks, poster sessions, and interactive discussions, a particular highlight were the keynote lectures by Dr. Yuranny Cabral-Calderin and Dr. Fritz Günther, who shared their international research experiences and offered valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of academic life abroad.
Beyond the scientific sessions, the event included various networking and social activities, emphasizing the importance of building peer connections within the academic community.
A-Dok 2025 underscored the crucial role of equality, interdisciplinarity, and international exchange within cognitive psychology. The conference fostered an inclusive atmosphere in which early-career researchers could develop a professional network and explore new ideas and frontiers.
