As in the past, we will try to avoid charging a registration fee. However, this depends on the level of financial support, and attendants may be asked to make a contribution. Please print out and fill in the pre-registration form (linked below) and send it by e-mail ("Marianna Zhukovskaya" mzhukovskaya@yahoo.com). The most of participants will need visas to enter Russia. Please, check you local Embassy/Consulate for the Russian visa requirements well in advance (at least 6 month). DEADLINE: January 31, 2011.
The following topics for the meeting have been suggested by general consensus. These are:
- Molecular biology and physiology of chemosensory reception
- Peripheral and central coding in insect taste and olfaction
- Neuroethology of taste and olfaction
- Evolution and development of chemosensory systems
- Plasticity of chemosensory systems
- Chemical ecology
- Machine olfaction and pest control
Soon we shall outline the preliminary program, which will be designed according to previous successful formats. Sessions with oral presentations will be held in the morning and late afternoon, leaving time for discussions and other activities. Poster sessions will be arranged around topics, and poster presenters will have the opportunity of giving a 5-minute data-blitz PowerPoint-assisted talk summarizing their poster, with 3-5 minutes for a brief question-and-answers session.
As in past meetings, presenters of talks and posters will be asked to provide an abstract. These will be published on-line and a printed version of the proceeding abstracts will be prepared for the meeting.
The ESITO Organizing Committee looks forward to seeing you in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
