Computational Neuroscience: [Comp-neuro] 1-day conference celebrating Open Access in Berlin. Nov 18th

As a member of the Organising Committee for this special event I'd like to invite YOU to the Berlin 11 Satellite Conference for Students & Early Stage Researchers on November 18th, 2013 in Berlin, Germany! We've been hard at work behind the scenes, and we are excited to announce today that the conference website is now online at: http://www.righttoresearch.org/act/berlin11. We are also excited to share that the conference will include presentations from Jack Andraka (Winner, 2012 Intel Science Fair),Alek Tarkowski (Former Member of the Board of Strategic Advisors to the Prime Minister of Poland), Cameron Neylon, (Director of Advocacy for the Public Library of Science), and Heather Joseph (Executive Director of SPARC). This exciting, first of its kind meeting reflects the importance of students and early stage researchers as the next generation of scholars and the impact these groups are already having in opening up scholarly communication. The conference will convene a discussion with leaders and innovators in the Open Access movement about the current state of Open Access and what participants can do to be catalysts for change locally, nationally, and beyond. On the conference website, you can now apply to attend the satellite conference. http://www.righttoresearch.org/act/berlin11/apply The short application shouldn't take much time and is necessary to ensure a diverse, representative, and active group of participants for this unique meeting. With generous support from the Max Planck Society, many participants will have the opportunity to have their travel and accommodation expenses covered by travel scholarships, which you can request directly from the application! Applications are due by midnight on October 14th.
