ECEM 2011
Note that this year's European Conference on Eye 
Movements (ECEM 2011) is also being held in the 
South of France. It will take place in Marseille 
the week before ECVP (21st-25th August). So why 
not take advantage of the opportunity to go to 
both meetings? You even have a few days between 
the two meetings for a bit of sight-seeing!

We really hope to see you in Toulouse. It should be a great meeting.

With best wishes for 2011
