Graduate School in Affective Sciences

The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) for the Affective Sciences is a research network financed by the Swiss government and administered through the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Members of the network are the project leaders of the ten individual research projects. In addition, a number of outstanding researchers in the area of affective sciences are Associates of the Centre. The Leading house is the University of Geneva, which accommodates the management team and a large number of the staff in its “Centre Interfacultaire en Sciences Affectives” (CISA).

The graduate school promote an interdisciplinary approach towards affective phenomena, ranging from the neural architecture of emotions to the historical underpinnings of their manifestations, without losing the disciplinary specialization required for a professional career.
