The entire abstracts (including title, list of authors etc.) should have a maximal length of 2500 Characters (including spaces).
Abstracts should be organised as follows:
- title
- authors (an asterisk should indicate the presenting author)
- address of authors
- email address of corresponding author
- body of abstract divided into introduction, methods, results, and conclusions.
- acknowledgements
It is planned to publish the abstracts
in Chemical Senses (although this is still a matter of discussion). Authors
who do not wish do have their abstracts publsihed are asked to incidate
this in a covering letter to Thomas Hummel. Abstracts
can be submitted by email, snail mail, or fax.
von Skramlik award
Researchers in the area of human olfaction up to an age of 40 years are encouraged to apply for the von Skramlik award. The awardee will receive 3000 Euro.
Applicants are asked to send in a CV plus their most significant, peer-reviewed publication related to human olfaction which has been published in 2002 or 2003 or which has been accepted for publication. Applicants should be first author of this publication. Deadline for application is the 1st of October 2003. Please send your applications plus a covering letter to Thomas Hummel.
Applications will be reviewed by the von Skramlik award committe consisting of Gerd Kobal, Gary Beauchamp, Claire Murphy, and Thomas Hummel. The awardee will be informed about the decision by the 15th of October 2003. The awardee is expected to present his or her work at the BIORESPONSE III meeting in a 30 min lecture after which the award will be given out.
The von Skramlik award is given out to
honor the work of Emil von Skramlik, a German physiologist, who did
most of his research in the beginning of the last century. Among his most
important publications is the ìHandbook on the physiology of the lower
sensesî (Handbuch der Physiologie der niederen Sinne. Leipzig: Georg Thieme
press; 1926). The 2003 prize is generously
sponsored by Firmenich,
Geneva, Switzerland .
Travel awards
The European
Chemoreception Organisation (ECRO) generously agreed to give out three
travel awards to students or researchers who
would like to attend the BIORESPONSE
III meeting. Each award amounts to 500 Euro. Applicants are asked to send
a CV, bibliography, accompanying letter and a letter of recommendation
from the head of their institution to Prof. Otto Bulluzzi (Dipt. di Biologia,
Via Borsari 46, 44100 Ferrara, Italy; Fax +390532
207143; ottorino.belluzzi@unife.it)
until the 1st of October. A decision about the success of the application
will be made by the ECRO board (for contact
please turn to Dr.
Otto Belluzzi). Applicants will be informed about the decision until
the 15th of October.
Poster prize
