Georgi Stojanov gave an invited lecture during the Spring School on robotics RoboMAC 2009 which took place in Skopje, Macedonia, February 23-28 (http://www.robomac.org.mk).  He gave an invited lecture on "Interactivist Based Representations for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence" for the members of Intelligent Vision Group at the Technical University of Vienna (http://www.acin.tuwien.ac.at/index.php?id=19&L=1) on March 20. Professor Stojanov will participate in the final meeting of the project "Electrical Neuronal Oscillations and Cognition - ENOC" which will take place in Zurich, May 15 and 16 at the University of Zurich. The project is funded by the EU COST initiative (http://www.manu.edu.mk/costb27).  He is organizing a Symposium within the annual Jean Piaget Society 2009 meeting. The title of the symposium is "From developmental psychology to artificial intelligence and robotics and back" and participants include researchers from Austria, France, the UK and the USA. This year the annual JPS meeting takes place in Park City (Utah) from June 4-9 (http://piaget.org/conference.html).  Professor Stojanov will give a talk at the biannual "Interactivist Summer Institute 2009" to be held this year in Vancouver June 9-12 at Simon Fraser University (http://www.lehigh.edu/~interact/isi2009).

Georgi Stojanov is a member of AAAI (American Association for Artificial Intelligence), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), ISAB (International Society for Adaptive Behavior), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery, and JPS (Jean Piaget Society).

His main interests are in: learning in artificial and natural agents; modeling cognitive phenomena in robotic systems; constructivism; metaphors; languages and translation.

Currently he is leading a team working on EU funded FP6 project: XPERO-Learning by Experimentation (www.xpero.org).
