The conference "Understanding and Misunderstanding" has four main themes: concepts, communication, coordination and normativity. Five keynote speakers join members and associate partners of the EuroUnderstanding collaborative research projects to offer their contribution to questions on the four themes: - How do communicative processes give rise to shared understandings, and how do these processes vary between cultures? - How do intercultural misunderstandings arise, and what are their consequences? - How do cultural and historical processes, and cultural-cognitive models, impinge on individual cognition, cognitive development and the development of personal identity? - How can intercultural communication be made more effective in diverse cultural contexts? The conference will take place in Auditorium 3 of the Gulbenkian Foundation, on 8, 9 and 10 May 2014.
