Advance Notice: ISH2012 – 16th International Symposium on
Hearing,
23-27 July, Cambridge UK Organizing committee: Hedwig Gockel, Bob Carlyon (MRC CBU, Cambridge) Ian Winter, Brian Moore, Roy Patterson
(University of Cambridge)
The 16th
International Symposium on Hearing will be held at St John’s
College of the University of Cambridge from 22-27 July 2012
(Sunday evening to Friday afternoon). The topic of the
symposium, as usual, is basic aspects of hearing: physiology
and perception. ISH is a small collegiate meeting typically
held in a cloistered setting. The program is limited to 60
podium presentations of about 25 minutes in duration so that
there is ample time for discussion. There will not be any
parallel sessions. Participants are expected to attend the
majority of sessions throughout the week. The total number of
participants, including podium speakers, is limited to about
100 people. Accommodation, mostly single rooms, will be
available in St. John’s College. There are a limited number of
double occupancy rooms for those wishing to bring their
partners. They will be allocated on a first-come,
first-reserved basis. ISH is a European meeting
originally conceived as the European version of the P&P
section of ASA meetings in the US. As organizers of a small,
special meeting with a long history, we have the problem of
balancing attendance by the historical community with the
desire to include new people with new ideas. Accordingly, this
message is being sent to previous attendees of the meeting, as
is the tradition, and at the same time, to the auditory list,
so that the larger hearing community is aware of the meeting.
Applicants should be aware that there is a traditional bias in
the selection of participants, with the European community
taking perhaps two-thirds of the places.
The main point of this
message is to provide the dates for the meeting. In early
July, we will send out the Main Announcement of the meeting
with information about costs, registration, St John’s College,
travel, etc. In the meantime, if you think there is a hot
topic on which we should hold a special session, feel free to
let us know what it is and why you think it is hot. Those with tickets to the
Olympics (or those thinking of getting tickets) might want to
note that ISH2012 and the Olympics are close in time and
space.
