----------------------------------------

Dendrites 2014 aims to bring together scientists from around the world 
to present their research on dendrites, ranging from the molecular to 
the anatomical and biophysical levels.  The Workshop will take place in 
the beautiful island of Crete, just after the AREADNE meeting 
(areadne.org) which takes place in the nearby island of Santorini. Note 
that Santorini is just a 2 hour boat ride from Crete. One could combine 
two meetings in a single trip to Greece!

FORMAT AND SPEAKERS

The meeting consists of the Main Event (July 1-3) and the Soft Skills 
Day (July 4).  Invited speakers for the Main Event include:

* Susumu Tonegawa (Nobel Laureate),

* Tiago Branco,

* Alcino J. Silva,

* Michael Häusser,

* Julietta U. Frey,

* Kristen Harris.

For the Soft Skills Day, Kerri Smith, Nature podcast editor, is going to 
present on communication and dissemination of scientific results. 
  Alcino J. Silva (UCLA) will present his recent work on developing 
tools for integrating and planning research in Neuroscience. There will 
be a hands on session on tools used to model neural cells/networks and a 
talk about the advantages of publishing under the Creative Commons License.

Submission of abstracts for poster and oral presentations are due by *14 
April 2014*. We welcome both experimental and theoretical contributions
