Presence Research Conference in Eindhoven/Netherlands October 9/10, 2001

[Armin Kohlrausch <armin.kohlrausch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list members

  On 9/10 October 2001 the European Presence Research Conference (Virtually
  there: Understanding presence and the Engineering of experience) takes
  place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

  This multidisciplinary, international conference provides a unique opportunity to obtain an overview of
  the state-of-the-art of presence research, find out about European initiatives in the area of presence
  research, and about opportunities for collaboration in European projects. Leading researchers and
  industry representatives will share their views on the conference's central theme "Virtually There:
  Understanding Presence and the Engineering of Experience". The conference goal is to provide a
  pan-European platform to encourage debate and collaboration between delegates to enable fruitful
  interchange leading to the identification of basic research questions and applied technology solutions,
  based on the concept of presence through media.

  The conference is being organised with the support of the European Commission Future and
  Emerging Technologies <http://www.cordis.lu/ist/fethome.htm> initiative, as they foresee a Proactive
  Initiative <http://www.cordis.lu/ist/fetpr.htm> for presence-related research in the near future. This
  event is your opportunity to contribute ideas on the research scope of the presence initiative.
