| Content | The Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences (CDS) aims to understand human decision-making and contribute to improving decision-making through evidence-based practices and guidelines. The CDS colloquium (brownbag) takes place in the form of weekly one-hour group meetings and is a forum for discussion and training for MSc students and CDS staff members. It consists of Journal club: discussion of published scientific papers or working papers by CDS members Workshops/Hackathons: Workshops can cover any aspect of data collection or analyses, including aspects of ethics (ethical application), technical skills (programming experiments, designing surveys), open science (making data publicly available), or programming and data analytics (R workshops/hackathons). Presentations: CDS members can present ongoing or completed research and each MSc student presents an overview of work conducted throughout the semester (typically, at the end of the semester, ca. 15 min presentation + discussion).
