MIND Network

Multinational Initiative for the Development of Thinking

Building international research partnerships

MIND connects researchers across countries to study how children think, learn, reason, and understand others.

What we’re looking for

If you work in a university International Office, you’re in a unique position to make an introduction that matters. We’re looking to connect with researchers at your institution who work in:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Educational psychology
  • Education
  • Child development
  • Learning and cognition
  • Social cognition
  • Theory of mind
  • Language acquisition
  • Related fields

A short introduction from you could spark a lasting international research partnership.
