Connectionists: IM-CLeVeR 2011 Spring School Announcement

[msh@aber.ac.uk]

The IM-CLeVeR/Aberystwyth University Spring School 2011
             is being held at the
2011 CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop
         in Sardinia from 1st to 7th May inclusive.


It is aimed at PhD students and young researchers in the fields
of computer science, robotics, autonomous systems, machine vision,
biologically inspired robotics, machine learning and engineering
but is open to interested students in biology, psychology and
neuroscience etc. with a reasonable background and skills in
robotics and programming.

The school is intended as a platform for work exchange, for
meeting other students and learning from each other by working
in small robotic related research projects of a maximum of five
people. It is an unique opportunity to see their own research
from a different angle and to gain the valuable experience of
applying competence and skills in new domains.

This year we are running the school in conjunction with
the 2011 CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop
(http://capocaccia.ethz.ch/capo/wiki/2011 ).
Students of the school will be registered to the workshop,
and will be able to attend workshop events and talks as well as
those of the school.  The main school will run during the first
7 days of the workshop, but we will provide space and supervision
for students wishing to stay until the end on the 14th May so that
they may continue working on their school projects.

Students wishing to attend the school should apply
to James Law (jxl at aber.ac.uk), with the following
information:

* A covering letter indicating how your research relates
to the school topics and how you perceive attendance will
benefit you

* A letter of endorsement from your research supervisor, or
equivalent

* Your order of preference for the school projects
(http://www.im-clever.eu/announcements/events/

Applications must be received by Monday 21st February.
Bursaries are available to assist with some of the costs.
Applications will be processed rapidly upon receipt and
successful applicants will be notified within a week.
Please be aware that the school is limited to 15 places,
and so early application is strongly advised.
