announcement</title></head><body>
<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) will hold
its first graduate summer institute in cognitive sciences from June
30th to July 11th 2003. The theme will be 'categorization' as seen
from the point of view of the following disciplines: cognitive
anthropology, cognitive computer science, linguistics, cognitive
neuroscience, philosophy and psychology. The program is provided
below. For more information, please consult our website:
http://www.unites.uqam.ca/sccog. Registration at a lower rate is
available prior to March 1st.</div>
<div><br></div>
