*** Call for Abstracts (apologies for cross-posting) ***

1st Lancaster Conference on Infant and Child Development (LCICD)
25th – 27th August 2016
Lancaster University, UK
http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/

Keynote speakers:
Luca Bonatti, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Larissa Samuelson, University of East Anglia
Jochen Triesch, Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies

Abstract submission deadline: 1st April 2016

Abstracts should be no more than 300 words (excluding references) with an additional page for figures and graphs. We invite abstract submissions from all areas of infant and early child development. Full details for submission can be found on the conference website<http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/>.

This three-day conference in August 2016 will run from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon and will be preceded by an optional one day Methods Workshop. The conference will focus on research in infant and early child development and reflect the breadth of methods used in this field (e.g., eye tracking and pupil dilation, EEG/ERP, NIRS, computational modeling, physiological measures, fetal imaging). We are aiming to bring together scientists engaged in cutting edge research and PhD students who are starting their scientific career, as well as to provide an opportunity for training of PhD students and junior researchers.

This new conference is being organised as part of a recently awarded £1 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust to establish a Doctoral Scholarship Programme in Interdisciplinary Research on Infant Development at Lancaster University. This scheme will provide a total of 22 PhD studentships over five years (with the first cohort just having started), together with associated activities.
