Revision as of 21:27, 3 January 2013

The 2012 Context and Episodic Memory Symposium (CEMS), now in its ninth year, will be held on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, on May 9th and 10th, 2013.

The symposium is designed to be a forum for the exchange of ideas among colleagues working on theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of context and episodic memory, broadly construed.

Abstracts for consideration for talks and posters are now being accepted. Please click here for submission instructions.

Location & Hotel

The symposium will be held at the Inn at Penn, which also serves as the host hotel for the conference.

Registration

More information about the registration process will be posted soon.

Registration fees will be on par with previous years:

  • $250 for faculty
  • $195 for postdocs
  • $165 for students

The fees will cover meeting room rental, A/V costs, breakfast both days, snacks, and a reception on the evening of May 9th.

Abstract Submission

The format of CEMS is to have a relatively small number of spoken presentations each followed by a commentary given by a scientist working on related problems. The program committee aims to identify submissions that highlight major new theoretical and/or empirical advances. Papers not selected for these spoken presentations can be given as poster presentations. In previous years, posters have been a major highlight of the meeting and have been very well attended. The Bennet B. Murdock award will be given for the best poster or spoken presentation by a young investigator, as determined by the committee.

Please email abstract/paper submissions to Patrick Crutchley (research coordinator of the Computational Memory Lab at the University of Pennsylvania) at context.symposium@gmail.com by January 15th, 2013. We would encourage submission of a written description of work in addition to an abstract if such a description is available.

Schedule

The symposium will be held May 9-10, 2013. More details will be available soon.
