Venue

EAP CogSci 2015 will be held in the beautiful "Cavallerizza Reale", the former royal stable, newly restructured in the heart of Turin's historical downtown.

Turin, surrounded by rolling green hills with snowy Alpine peaks in the background, is a cultural city, the fascinating centre of northern Italy and it was the location of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. The historic centre is filled with sumptuous baroque palaces and art nouveau mansions, and a labyrinth of shady arcades lined with fashion boutiques, cafés, and romantic restaurants serving delicious Piedmonts’ cuisine.
