[psychology-visionlist] Visual Neuroscience Organising committee

[Harriet Allen]

Hi All

The AVA committee (although not me directly) has been talking to the 
British Neuroscience Association about strengthening links between the 
two organisations. The BNA wants to have more vision in it and the AVA 
wants to have more neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience in it.

It was decided that there should be a one day focus conference on Visual 
Neuroscience, ideally in Sept 2018. They worked out the finance deal and 
decided that the best place to have the meeting was here, in Nottingham. 
They think Nottingham is particularly strong in Visual Neuroscience (and 
I agree, although I had no involvement in this discussion) and like the 
accessibility of the location.

So, they have asked me to see if there is are a few people keen to be 
part of the organising committee. The team would need to be part 
vision/AVA and part BNA.

Anyone interested? You would get the ability to program a set of 
speakers and posters, including inviting at least one keynote. You also 
get to pick the rooms and the buffet.

If you are interested, drop me an email or pop in.

Harriet
