HUMAN BRAIN MAPPING, JUNE 10-14, 2007
On behalf of the Organization for Human
Brain Mapping Program Committee, I am pleased to invite all
interested members to submit an application for a scientifc
symposium or workshop to be presented at the next annual
meeting. It will be held in Chicago, Illinois, June 10-14,
2007. The deadline for receiving the proposals is September 8,
2006.
Symposia have attracted a greal deal of interest and tend to
be the best-attended parts of the program. The OHBM Program
Committee will select the number of symposia and workshops at
their discretion. The time allotted for each symposium or
workshop is 75 minutes.
The topics of the proposed symposia may include any of the
traditional topics of the OHBM annual meetings, including
cognition and attention, emotion and motivation, sensation and
perception, language, motor behavior, development and aging,
physiology, metabolism and neurotransmission, imaging
techniques and modeling. There is no need, however, to
structure the symposium with the confines of these topics.
Furthermore, we encourage you to include in the proposal
contributions addressing both health and disease in order to
increase the dialogue between basic and clinical
neuroscientists. A morning workshop proposal should be a
single topic with a teaching goal.
Applicants are encouraged to invite speakers from other
institutions, however, each institution should be represented
only once during the symposium. The number of speakers is
limited to four. By the time of the application, all speakers
should have already agreed to participate. Speakers should
understand that no honorarium or complimentary registration is
given for participation.
Please indicate in your proposal if you are interested in
presenting in a symposia format only, a workshop only or
either one. In Chicago, workshops will be held each day,
Monday-Thursday, in parallel with two other sessions.The
Program Committee will review applications at its October
meeting and will judge them on thematic relevance and
scientific quality. The Committee is most interested in
symposia/workshops that present the most recent advances.
Decisions on acceptance will be sent in early November. The
Program Committee reserves the right to ask an organizer to
modify their symposia or workshop in order to ensure balance
and quality in the HBM2007 program.

Dear
Colleagues,
On behalf of the World Federation of Societies of Biological
Psychiatry it is our pleasure to invite you to the 2nd
International Congress of Biological Psychiatry, 17-27 April
2007, Santiago de Chile.
Recently, the International Scientific Programme Committee met
to consider all symposia proposals for the 2nd International
Congress of the Biological Psychiatry, Santiago de Chile,
17-21 April 2007. There was an overwhelming response to the
Call for Symposia and both the quantity and quality of
submissions was very impressive.
The Committee has been able to compile a wide range of
interesting and specific topics for this meeting with a focus
on sessions that will put the latest clinical and
translational basic research into a clinical context. During
the congress there will be more than 40 top quality symposia
and at least one of these daily sessions would have a
particular disease focus.
At this time we would like to inform you that the Call for
Abstracts is now open on the congress website and we would
encourage you to submit your work for consideration and we
very much look forward to receiving your proposal.
We look forward to welcoming you in Chile in April 2007! Let
us thank you for your contribution to a sweeping Congress.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Siegfried Kasper
