Expert Meeting for Math Researchers 2011
Invitation
We are pleased to invite you to the third expertmeeting for mathematic researchers from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. This meeting will take place on Friday, the 11th of February at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of Ghent University. We are pleased to announce prof. dr. Marie-Pascale Noel (Universite catholique de Louvain) as the keynote speaker of this meeting. She is a leading researcher on dyscalculia and mathematics development. In contrast to the previous editions, the main language of this meeting will be English to give researchers in the French speaking part of Belgium the opportunity to attend this meeting. The main goal of this day is to strengthen the relationships between the different research groups working on mathematics. Therefore, researchers are invited to present their recent research in a talk or a poster. Of course there will also be plenty of time for informal discussions.
Registration
If you want to register for this day, please send an e-mail with the completed Registration Form in attachment to Frauke De Weerdt before November, the 20th. Attendance to this meeting will cost 30 euro (lunch, coffee breaks and reception included) or 60 euro (closing dinner included, starting at 19h). Please mark your preference by putting an X in the respective box of the registration form. Payments will only be accepted cash on the day of the meeting. Because of practical arrangements to be made, cancelling your registration is only possible until January, the 25th. After that day, we are obliged to send you an invoice of 30 euro.
[Registration Closed]
Keynote Speaker
Prof. dr. Marie-Pascale Noel (Universite Catholique de Louvain)The paper corresponding to Prof. dr. Noel's keynote talk is now published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience and can be downloaded here.
Paper presentations
If you want to present your research, you are also kindly invited to fill in your title and abstract (max. 300 words) in the Registration Form and send it to Frauke De Weerdt before November, the 20th.
