[Comp-neuro] ECVP 2013 - Announcing Grants & Showtime

The 36th European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) will take place in Bremen, Germany, from August 25th to August 29th 2013.

----------------------------- TRAVEL GRANTS-----------------------------

ECVP is offering a number of Travel Grants. Application is open via http://www.ecvp.uni-bremen.de/node/42. Travel grants will be awarded competitively to a limited number of attendees. Please submit your application via our Web-site, according to the guidelines stated there. For any inquiries please mail to ecvptravel@ecvp.uni-bremen.de.

Check also the call for the TOM TROSCIANKO AWARD, announced this year for the first time, at http://www.ecvp.uni-bremen.de/node/57.

-------------------------------- SHOWTIME--------------------------------

Following on from its success last year, we will be holding a second “ShowTime” at this year’s ECVP in Bremen. This will be an opportunity for anyone attending the meeting to present a demonstration or exhibit that is related to their research. We would like to invite all those coming to the meeting to submit a brief proposal (100 words max) of what they would like to show or demonstrate. This might be a new visual effect (that could be related to a presentation actually scheduled as a paper or poster at the conference); a well-known illusion; an old effect presented in a new way; a novel piece of equipment or apparatus; or something artistic that is visually exciting. We would like to encourage many submissions and we should be able to help you if your “Show” needs a projector, screen, poster-board or similar equipment.

Please email your proposal to showtime2013@ecvp.uni-bremen.de giving approximate details of how much space would be needed and what (if any) facilities you would like the organisers to provide. (There will be a number of small rooms that can be blacked out completely if this is essential to your demonstration.). Please send your proposal not later than June, 15^th to provide us sufficient time for setting up the event.

ECVP2013 “ShowTime” will be held on Tuesday evening (August, 27th). There will be two prizes for the best “Shows” – a Richard Gregory prize for the most amusing demonstration and a Tom Troscianko prize for the most outrageous exhibit.
