The 33rd annual Conference on Comparative Cognition (CO3) will be held in March or April 2026. Stay tuned for details. Join us for four days of science in the sun!
We are a nonprofit scientific society dedicated to gaining a broad scientific understanding of the nature
and evolution of cognition in human and nonhuman animals.
Our journal, Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, publishes review articles on topics in comparative cognition,
animal cognition, and animal behavior. All articles are open access.
CCS gives out a range of student and faculty awards, most tied to our annual conference.
