Abstract

RELACCO stands for 'REd LAtinoamericana de Ciencias COgnitivas' (Latin American Network of Cognitive Sciences) and is a new initiative that aims at bringing together researchers, students and institutions from Latin American countries involved in the Cognitive Sciences to promote exchanges and academic collaboration between them. Through the exchange of knowledge, resources and experiences, we seek to strengthen the development of the Cognitive Sciences in the region, foster inter/transdisciplinary research, and consolidate a scientific and humanistic community committed to excellence, inclusion, horizontality, critical and ecological thinking, and individual and social responsibility. At RELACCO, we believe in science as a collective endeavor, open and sensitive to the social and cultural challenges of today's world, with an emphasis on those of our region. Therefore, we want to work to build bridges between disciplines, contexts, and communities, and to make Latin American scientific thought and production visible on a regional and global scale, with no detriment to other international ties and interactions
