[Comp-neuro] Call for participation – Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces (Deadline: April, 1st)

**********************************************************************************************************************************

The 9th International Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces; July 15th - August 9th 2013; Lisbon (Portugal)
**********************************************************************************************************************************

After the previous workshops which had an impressive success record and had proven the viability and usefulness of this hands-on workshop, the 9^th edition will take place in Lisbon, Portugal. eNTERFACE workshops aim at establishing a tradition of collaborative, localized research and development work by gathering, in a single place, a team of senior project leaders in multimodal interfaces, researchers, and (undergraduate) students, to work on a pre-specified list of challenges, for 4 weeks. Participants are organized in teams, attached to specific projects, working on free software. Each week will typically consist of working sessions by the teams on their respective projects plus a tutorial given by an invited senior researcher and a presentation of the results achieved by each project group. The last week will be devoted to writing an article on the results obtained, which are expected to be published by Springer, IFIP AICT series (indexed in Web of Science).

Senior researchers, PhD, MS, or undergraduate students are now invited to submit an application for participation at eNTERFACE'13. All those interested in participating at the workshop should send their application by emailing the organizing committee at yr@uninova.pt. The content of the application can be found on the website of the summer school (http://eventos.fct.unl.pt/enterface13). The deadline is fixed at the 1^st of April. Applicants can choose up to three projects ordered by preference (see the website for the description of the projects and available positions in each of them). Selection of the applicants will be carried out by the project leaders.
