The CBS Superlab: Discussions on the recommendations of the ACBS Task Force on the Strategies and Tactics of Contextual Behavioral Science Research
Ethos:
The CBS Superlab aims to provide attendees with a space to learn about ongoing research internationally while also engaging in discussions around the ACBS Task Force Report. The CBS Superlab aims to provide presenters with a space to showcase their research and engage in effective knowledge transfer and exchange. We intend to create a context that promotes genuine connection and collaboration within the CBS community, enabling researchers to share resources and problem-solve together. The CBS Superlab provides a unique opportunity for all researchers, regardless of their stage of study and career, to come together and share cutting-edge research in a collaborative, not competitive, environment.
Values underlying the CBS Superlab:
The CBS Superlab strives to create a genuine, mutually supportive, motivational, inspirational, connected, and creativity-focused environment. We intend to create a welcoming space for researchers to engage in knowledge transfer and exchange, sharing their passions, ideas, and resources with the wider community.
Mission statement:
The CBS Superlab aims to facilitate high-level discussions around ongoing research in CBS labs internationally that both advances the field and seeks to address some of the recommendations outlined by the ACBS Task Force.
Hosts 2021-2022:
Louise McHugh and Alison Stapleton from University College Dublin, Ireland are the 2021-2022 hosts. Their role will involve reviewing submissions from research labs, selecting labs to present, and inviting labs where there is a specific area of expertise that will benefit the CBS research community.
Who can ‘listen in’? Who will be invited to present?
All ACBS members are invited to attend. An invite will go out via the ACT and RFT list serves. All CBS research labs are invited to submit to present. To be considered a CBS lab, your lab details must be included on the www.contextualscience.org website.
Schedule:
There will be twelve monthly sessions delivered via Zoom beginning from September 8th, 2021 at 8 pm GMT+1. The CBS Superlab will take place on the second Wednesday of every month during this time slot. The first four slots are accounted for.
