Dear CVNET-UK user,

on behalf of the organizers, below and in the attachments please find the
2nd call for submissions to the

17th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
ON EYE MOVEMENTS
11-16 August 2013 Lund, Sweden

We are very pleased to publish this call for abstracts for ECEM 2013,
which promises a number of innovations alongside the continuing high
scientific standards of the world's largest conference on eye movement
research. ECEM 2013 is the 17th European Conference on Eye Movements, with
the original aims of the very first ECEM, ‘to exchange information on
current research, equipment and software’, at the forefront. In 2013, it
is held in Lund, Sweden, organized by the eye-tracking group at Lund
Humanities Laboratory together with COGAIN, the non-profit association for
communication through gaze based interaction. ECEM 2013 is the first
conference organized under the auspices of the Eye Movement Researchers
Association (EMRA), a recently formed not-for-profit organization
facilitating shared tools for conference organization and management,
shared publications such as the Journal of Eye Movement Research (JEMR)
and shared tools for eye movement research and analysis. We look forward
to welcoming you to Lund in 2013.

Location
ECEM 2013 will be held at Lund University, Sweden (for more info, see
here). This medieval town was founded circa 990 and Lund University is the
second oldest University in Sweden. The times higher education world
university rankings for 2011-2012 place Lund University in the top 100
list in the world. It is placed 45th in the world for Life Sciences and
80th in the world overall; “Humour, innovation and a humanist perspective
join critical thinking and a concern for the environment as core values
for some 46,000 students and 6,200 staff at Lund. It was founded in 1666
and is now one of the largest Nordic educational and research
institutions.”
The Times Higher Education Report 2012

Lund is a quaint academic town with around 111 000 inhabitants, and
roughly a third of the population are students or employees at Lund
University. The close proximity to Copenhagen Airport makes this an ideal
venue for international conferences. All conference activities including
the scientific, exhibition and social programme, will take place in the
historic student union castle (shown left), located in Lundagård, at the
heart of campus and the town. For details of accommodation and special
rates for delegates, see here.

New to ECEM in 2013
We aim to have four panel discussions during the conference. When online
registration opens, you will be asked to vote for topics. If you have a
topic relevant for a broad spectrum of eye movement researchers which you
would like to see discussed by a panel of experts, please forward your
ideas to ECEM management here. We will also include student competitions
for best talk, best poster, and best student software applications using
eye movements. Prizes for student contributions include a commercial eye
tracker, awarded for best new application of eye movement data.
 
Information for Symposia
Each symposium will be comprised of four to six talks of 20 min each (15
min + 5 min discussion). We strongly recommend that the final slot be used
as a summary discussion. Symposia should relate to the study of eye
movements and eye tracking from a psychological, neurobiological,
clinical, computational or applied perspective. Each symposium should
provide a large view of one relevant topic and should provoke discussion,
representing alternative theoretical views or alternative approaches
rather than a single school. A Symposium submission consists of a 200-word
proposal stating how the individual talks are related and clarifying the
benefit of a joint presentation. Symposia chairs ensure that each first
author submits her/his proposal through the review system for talks, with
2-page extended abstract (see information on submitting talks below). In
the case that one of the suggested presentations of a symposium fails to
pass the review process or is offered as a poster presentation, the
scientific panel may suggest an alternative presentation from the pool of
accepted talks. Submit your symposium proposal here after November 1st,
2012. We will acknowledge receipt of your submission within 48 hours.
Notification of symposium acceptance will be sent by the end of February.

Information for Talks
Each talk will be 20 min (15 min + 5 min discussion). Talks should present
high quality, original empirical research either completed or work in
progress. Any work related to the study of eye movements and eye tracking
from a psychological, neurobiological, clinical, computational or applied
perspective can be submitted as an oral presentation. Extended abstracts
of 2 pages, including a 200 word abstract, a method, results/preliminary
results and conclusions section and a maximum of one figure and one table
per extended 2-page abstract. You can download templates in MS word,
LaTeX, and open office formats here. All submissions will be peer
reviewed. We cannot guarantee that we will respect the authors'
preferences for oral or poster presentation. Depending on the number of
submissions we receive, some talks may be offered as poster presentations.
Notification of abstract acceptance for talks will be sent April 15.
Submit your extended abstract here after November 1st, 2012. We will
acknowledge receipt of your submission within 48 hours. Notification of
talk acceptance will be sent by April 15th.

Information for Poster Presentations
Posters may present research in progress or in preparation. Submission for
posters will be 200 word abstracts, that will be peer reviewed and a
decision for acceptance or rejection will be sent by April 15. Submit your
poster abstract here after Nov 1st, 2012.

Review Policy
Please note that we will allow each conference participant to be first
author on one talk only, but each participant can submit as co-author on
as many oral presentations as he/she wishes, and as first author on as
many posters as he/she wishes. First authors should be present during the
conference and present their own work. Co-authors are not required to be
present. The review panel is drawn from across a broad range of relevant
expertise. Author- and reviewer-supplied keywords will facilitate the
review-assignment process. The members of the scientific panel will
oversee all review procedures and make the final decision on acceptance.
All symposium papers will go through the same peer review process as other
talks. Accepted talks are given the option to submit full papers in the
Journal of Eye Movement Research, if they wish. For details on all these
issues, see http://ecem2013.eye-movements.org/.
