Summer School on Surgical Robotics

To continue the great tradition of having a CIS summer school every other year in the US, anti-parallel to the one in Montpellier, Dr. Hannaford has released the call for participation. If you missed the first edition January 2009 at Hopkins, you can still catch up via the MRCIIS website.
2010 North American Summer School in Surgical Robotics and Simulation

INITIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
"This event will invite about 50 early-career researchers, primarily doctoral students, to a 5 day intensive series of 90 minute tutorial lectures, hands-on labs, and informal interactions designed to rapidly bring them up to the state of the art in this rapidly expanding field. Students accepted at the school will attend all five days and learn from an international faculty specially recruited for the event.
Pending full sponsorship, it is expected that all students will receive scholarships for tuition, lodging, and meals.

Dates: 23-27 August, 2010 Location: Seattle Washington.
Elligibility: There will be an application process designed to select the students most likely to benefit from the school and to ensure a diverse and stimulating mix of backgrounds and expertise.
