conference.

The deadline for submitting an abstract is March 31st, 2007. No  
further extension will be granted.

Free communications will be either 15 minute oral presentations in  
parallel sessions, or posters. Several symposia with invited speakers  
have also been organized, as well as various satellite events before,  
during and possibly after the core conference.

Travel fellowships will be granted with priority to research groups  
from Africa, South America and some parts of Asia.

The conference will begin in the afternoon of August 27th with the  
Perception lecture, the traditional plenary lecture. This year's  
Perception lecture will be delivered by Christopher Tyler (Smith- 
Kettlewell, San Francisco, USA) in St. Francis's church, home of the  
famous Renaissance frescoes “The Legend of the True Cross” by Piero  
della Francesca. An opening Ceremony and Banquet will follow in the  
wonderful Piazza Grande, the core of the historic old town.

The remainder of the conference will be held at the Centro Affari e  
Convegni of Arezzo. On Wednesday August 29th, a series of scientific  
and social events will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ECVP,  
including the 1st Rank Lecture to be held by Anthony Movshon (New  
York University, New York, USA). On that evening a traditional,  
medieval dinner will be organized in one of the historic squares of  
the city. Reservations for the dinner are available online.



The area features many tourist attractions, from art to nature, from  
fine wines and traditional Tuscan tourism, to fashion and gold  
shopping outlets (Arezzo is one of the world capitals for gold  
jewelry and for fashion brands). Half- and full-day trips, kitchen  
classes and wine tastings will be available from the desk of our  
official tour operator, Colori Toscani.

We hope you will join us in an ECVP edition featuring a great mixture  
of science, art, nature, tradition, wine and Tuscan food!!!
