Keynote Speakers:

Ayfer Bartu Candan (Boğaziçi University)
Charles Stewart (University College London)

We are organizing a conference on the interrelated themes of memory, materiality and cultural heritage that will appeal to scholars from the fields of archaeology, anthropology and history. We invite papers that particularly address the uses and management of ancient sites, monuments and objects at the local and global scales from different social spaces and sectors of societies such as houses, ritual-architectural spaces, netscape, museums, touristic scapes, media industry, ethnoscapes and nation-states. Many different processes play a role in the particular contemporary uses of ancient objects and monuments such as the making of public/official or alternative histories and education, nationalism, cultural preservation efforts, place-making, object and profit oriented capitalist material practices, violence, archaeological practices, and the politics of the production and/or erasure of memory about the past, present and future.… read more. “Call: International Conference on Materiality, Memory and Cultural Heritage”

Dear Colleague,

The EuroMov center at Montpellier-1 University in the south of France organizes a special conference in December 2011:

SKILLS is the international conference of the SKILLS European Project (IST, Multimodal Interfaces, 2007-2011). It addresses fundamental and translational issues related to the acquisition, storage, maintenance and transfer of human skills using multimodal technologies such as virtual and augmented realities, human-machine interfaces, interaction design, and robotic systems. SKILLS aims at introducing a novel approach to technology-assisted skill acquisition or rehabilitation based on enactive and direct interaction between learner and technology. Perception-action and cognitive accelerators embedded in specific training protocols are used at various stages of learning in several (real) trainee – (virtual) trainer situations.

In addition to keynote lectures, regular papers and posters, a large portion of the conference will be devoted to the presentation of hands-on demos illustrating the enactive approach to skill acquisition and transfer, not limited to but including the three following domains: Sport & Entertainement, Surgery & Rehabilitation, Industry & Manufacturing.… read more. “Call: SKILLS European Project (IST, Multimodal Interfaces) conference”
