KAZUO MORI STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS - CALL FOR 2023 NOW CLOSED

The Kazuo Mori Student Travel Awards were established in 2015 to support student members’ travel to the SARMAC biennial meeting. The awards are named in honor of Prof Kazuo Mori, Executive Director of SARMAC from 2012 to 2015. Prof Mori is a creative scientist; a fearless leader of psychological science in Japan; an excellent teacher; an artist, author and illustrator of books for children and adults—and most of all, a tireless and generous advocate for students in the field of applied memory and cognition. In 2022, the Association for Psychological Science recognized Prof Mori’s outstanding support for early-career researchers by awarding him a prestigious APS Mentor Award. Prof Mori is also champion of international collaborations—he works hard to bring international scholars together to work on large-scale projects and regularly hosts a productive meeting for applied cognitive researchers in Japan (The International Roundtable on Memory, IROM). Prof Mori currently works at the Faculty of School Education at Matsumoto University in Japan. You can read more about Prof Mori, his research and IROM, here.
