10th IEEE EMBS International Summer School on Biomedical Imaging 22-30 June 2012 Berder Island, France

WEB  http://ieeess.enst-bretagne.fr

Application deadline : Feb. 15, 2012

Chair : Christian ROUX

Co-chair : Jean-Louis COATRIEUX

The spirit of this Summer School is inspired by the most prestigious school ever founded in France, Saint Flour, the influence of which  has spread to generations of researchers in Mathematics. Since its establishment in Brittany in 1994, this school has become a worldwide  reference. It is resolutely international (participants from more than twenty countries have participated to the previous editions) and  accessible to young scientists. It is an open yet privileged place for exchanges and discussions of major on-going work. Informal and warm,  at a location where the sea and the land combine in a time varying relation, this school brings together, every two years for ten days, the  world great teachers and researchers in Biomedical Imaging.

Lectures, seminars, and discussions are organized at the highest level, but with the freedom of spirit that is the tradition of Brittany. The  school objective is to contribute without any exclusion to advances in a rapidly evolving field, and to foster participation in the adventure  of research. It provides up-to-date, state-of-art knowledge on emerging areas and addresses important issues dealing with complex,  multivariate systems, going from basic to applied research.

Audience: The Summer School is open to graduate students (M.S., PhD), post doctoral scientists, radiologists, biologists, researchers and engineers in industry.

Junior Lecturer It is now an established tradition to invite the participants of the previous schools (2004, 2006, 2008and 2010) to serve as Junior Lecturer for the next one (2012). An international Committee will select the junior lecturer. The topics that can be addressed by this Junior Lecture are very open, as far as they concern Biomedical Imaging. The talk to be given is expected to complement the lectures already displayed. Experience and originality of the subject, interest for the audience are the basic criteria to fulfill. Travelling expenses lodging and fees will be paid. http://ieeess.enst-bretagne.fr/index.php?pid=8
