JUNE 22-24th, 2005. As agreed at the last conference in Gdansk, we are pleased to announce that there will be another conference in London in June. This will run along similar lines to the previous EPSRC network conferences 1999 - 2001. It will last from lunchtime to lunchtime from a Wednesday to Friday. There will be only one forum - no parallel sessions, with short presentations of 15 minutes each including questions, and lots of time for discussions. It will take place in central London, at University College London, in a brand new and comfortable lecture on the main UCL campus (www.ucl.ac.uk). There will four topic areas : Reconstruction algorithms, instrumentation, clinical applications, and new developments (MR-EIT, MIT). Abstracts will not be accepted on subjects outside biomedical EIT, in order to keep the conference focused. If you would like to apply, please email us at eitlist@mail.com with a brief abstract (max 300 words) of your proposed topic, and the intended subject area. At present, we hope to make all accepted presentations oral, but it may be necessary to create some poster ones if there are many submissions. If you are submitting more than one abstract, please identify which is your preferred topic for oral presentation. Timetable. March 4, 2005: Applications and abstract submission. March 14, 2005: Notification of acceptance. June 6, 2005: Submission of 4 page paper for conference handbook June 22-24, 2005: Conference (starting at 1 pm Wednesday 22/6/05 with lunch, ending 2 pm Friday 24/6/05).
