CALL FOR SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS
Further information: http://www.theassc.org/assc_17_call_for_symposia
The Program committee invites proposals for symposia on any topic relevant to the scientific study of consciousness. Symposia/talks should be spread over topics in consciousness science, paying close attention to areas that may have been overlooked last year or in previous years. ASSC has a strong preference for symposia proposals to focus on specific questions rather than a set of loosely related talks. Proposals that integrate multiple methodologies around common questions are particularly welcome. Accepted symposium speakers will be provided free accommodation at the conference hotel and their registration fees will be waived.

CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Further information: http://www.theassc.org/assc_17_call_for_tutorials
One of the aims of this meeting is to allow researchers to gain a background in areas that they may know little about. Towards that end a number of tutorials are planned. Tutorial presenters are expected to present not only their own material, but to give a broader tutorial overview and to encourage discussion, debate, and audience participation. Tutorials will be held in parallel sessions on the morning  and afternoon of 11th July 2013. Each tutorial is intended to last approximately three hours with a short break in the middle. The sizes of tutorials will vary between a minimum of  10 to a maximum of around 35 attendees. Tutorial presenters will receive an honorarium of $500 (one honorarium per tutorial, not per presenter).

All symposium and tutorial proposals should be sent to Tobias Schlicht (tobias.schlicht at rub.de)  by October 31st.
