CNS*2011 will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 23-28th, 2011. The
meeting will kick off with a day of tutorials and an evening welcome
reception on Saturday, July 23rd.  The main meeting of CNS*2011 will 
follow on July 24-26th, after which will come two days of workshops on 
July 27-28th.

The main meeting will be held at the Royal Institute of Technology in
Stockholm, Sweden.  A welcome event will be held in the beautiful 
Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel Prizes are awarded, on Monday, July 
25th.

Submissions can include experimental, model-based, as well as more
abstract theoretical approaches to understanding neurobiological
computation.  We especially encourage research that mixes experimental
and theoretical studies.  We also accept papers that describe new
technical approaches to theoretical and experimental issues in
computational neuroscience or relevant software packages.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
Ivan Soltesz, USA
Peter Tass, Germany
Anders Lansner, Sweden

TUTORIALS:
To Be Announced

WORKSHOPS:
A Call for workshops appeared in a separate announcement.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION:

Submissions to the meeting should take the form of a formatted abstract.
Submission instructions, submission website, and a full description
of the review process are at
http://www.cnsorg.org/2011/submission.shtml.  Authors wishing to give
an oral presentation are required also to submit a 1-3-page summary (for
the OCNS reviewers only) describing the nature, scope and main results
of the work in more detail.  The summaries will be reviewed to
construct the oral program.  All submissions will be acknowledged by
e-mail.


OPEN ACCESS, CITABLE  ABSTRACT PUBLICATION:
The formatted abstracts will again be published as a Supplement to the
online journal BMC Neuroscience. The supplement is citable, indexed by
PubMed, and open access.
At least one author must register for CNS*2011 by the early
registration deadline of May 15, 2011 for the abstract to be published
and included in the program book.  Last year's abstracts are available
at the URLs:

AWARDS:
A limited number of merit based travel grants, awarded based on review
of abstracts by the program committee, will be available to students
and postdocs.  Women and underrepresented minorities in STEM are
particularly encouraged to apply.  Applications will be due Feb. 28,
2011.  See instructions for requesting  travel  awards at
www.cnsorg.org.  Recipients of travel grants will be notified by May
5, 2011.

Student posters presented at CNS*2011 will also be judged for cash
prizes awarded at the meeting.
Please check www.cnsorg.org periodically for announcement of
additional categories of awards for postdoctoral fellows.
