Spain hosts International Symposium On Sense Of Humour

Spain hosts this week, for the first time in history, the international symposium on humour and laughter, where scientists and experts from four continents will discuss the latest advances and research of this field of study.
The ninth edition of the \’International Summer School and Symposium on Humour and Laughter: Theory, Research and Applications\’ is being hosted by the University of Granada, and they will analyse the relationship between sense of humour and different fields such as anthropology, sociology, medicine or philosophy.

According to the Professor of the University of Granada Hugo Carretero de Dios, «This is a dimension consubstantial to human beings which has traditionally attracted the attention of researchers of different research fields», says the UGR Professor.

The «International Summer School and Symposium on Humour and Laughter» is held every year in a different place of the world. This event also intends to assure that «those people who are doing research into the field of humour work on up-to-date information and tools with scientific support».

The event is taking place at the University of Granada and has been supported by the Mediterranean Centre of the UGR and the Health Department of the Andalusian Council.
