Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce that the "Cognition" theme will be present at IST 2004 in a double-headed Networking Session, Tuesday 16th November, 2004, IST 2004 Conference, The Hague, Netherlands.

The first part aims to raise awareness and exchange information about recent successes and potential for new applications of Cognitive Vision research. It is organised by our ECVISION thematic network (contact point is Patrick Courtney of ECVISION). The second part will be held by our unit, with Colette Maloney and her colleagues. They will highlight the 30 Meuro package of newly launched Cognitive Systems projects under the sixth Framework Programme and the prospects for the upcoming IST Call 4.

Between the two sessions, we plan to organise a demonstration of a cognitive robot.

How to participate: First, register at the general conference site (http://europa.eu.int/information_society/istevent/2004/cf/registration.cfm). Secondly, go to the Networking Session pages and subscribe to one or both of the Cognitive Systems Networking sessions:

Important: if you are considering to submit a proposal for IST Call 4, which to be published in November this year, you should definitely use this opportunity to help build up your consortium and to gain the latest insights into the call scope, aims and mechanisms. If you wish to meet a member of the Cognitive Systems staff individually or if you would like to present a project idea (on a 5 min/2 slides basis) please let me know in advance.

With best regards (and apologies for cross-posting)
