[visionlist] ECEM 2011, Marseille, France – Call for Symposia and Abstracts

[Françoise Vitu-Thibault]

Dear all,

This is the second announcement of ECEM 2011, the 16th Edition of the 
European Conference on Eye Movements that will be held at the University 
of Provence (Campus St Charles) in Marseille, France from the 21st until 
the 25th of August 2011.

The Conference website is now online: 
**https://sites.google.com/a/univ-provence.fr/ecem2011/. *Registration 
is open and the call for symposium and abstract submission is launched*. 
If you do not want to pay extra (+100€), please register before June 30, 
2011. This will also allow you to benefit from ECEM special rates in 
several hotels. Please make sure you do not miss the deadlines:
- Symposium submission:  February 10, 2011
- Abstract Submission: March 15, 2011.

You can already have a look at the provisional program of the 
conference. There will be 6 invited lectures given respectively by
- Patrick Cavanagh (Université Paris Descartes, France)
- Ralf Engbert (Universität Potsdam, Germany)
- Edward Keller (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
- Eileen Kowler (Rutgers University, USA)
- Rich Krauzlis (The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, USA)
- Gordon Legge (University of Minnesota, Minnesota, USA).

In addition, two Special symposia will be held, one in honor of Alan 
Kennedy (University of Dundee, UK) and the other in honor of George W. 
McConkie (Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 
USA).

The social program is also very promising, and should allow you to enjoy 
the sun and the beautiful, cultural and cosmopolitan city of Marseille 
and the area of Provence.

*Symposium Submission*: Each symposium will comprise six talks of 20mn 
each (15mn + 5mn discussion). Only a very limited number of symposium 
submissions with only four talks of 20mn each, will be accepted. 
Symposia should relate to the study of eye movements from a 
psychological, neurobiological, clinical, computational or applied 
perspective. They should provide a large view of one given topic and 
should provoke discussion, thus preferably representing alternative 
theoretical views and/or alternative approaches rather than just one 
single school. Please send your proposal (the topic of the symposium 
described in 10 lines maximum and a list of proposed speakers) to 
Francoise.Vitu-Thibault at univ-provence.fr no later than February 10, 
2011. Notification of symposium acceptance will be sent by the end of 
February.

*Abstract Submission:* Any work related to the study of eye movements 
from a psychological, neurobiological, clinical, computational or 
applied perspective can be submitted as an oral or poster presentation. 
Oral presentations will last 20mn (including 5 min of questions). 
Abstracts will be peer reviewed. We cannot guarantee that we will 
respect the authors’ preferences; depending on the number of submissions 
we get, some talks may be turned into a poster presentation. 
Notification of acceptance will be sent no later than the end of May. 
Abstracts will be submitted online on the ECEM website no later than 
March 15, 2011.

If you have any question or would like to be added on our mailing list, 
please write to: ecem2011 at gmail.com

We are looking forward to hearing from you and to meeting you in 
Marseille next summer. In the mean time, we wish you a Merry Christmas 
and a wonderful New Year 2011.
