[Westermann, Gert]

3rd Lancaster Conference on Infant and Early Child Development (LCICD 2018)
5-7 September, 2018
Lancaster University, UK
http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/

Call for Abstracts

Abstract submission deadline: 1st March 2018

After highly successful LCICDs in 2016 and 2017 with attendees from over 20 countries, we are now inviting abstract submissions for the 3rd LCICD in Lancaster, UK. The conference is single track, with high visibility poster sessions in their own designated time slots, and enabling lively interactions between all attendees, from early-career PhD students to senior researchers.

Keynote speakers:
Laura Bosch,  Universitat de Barcelona, Spain
Sabina Pauen, University of Heidelberg, Germany
John Spencer, University of East Anglia, UK


Abstracts should be no more than 300 words (excluding references) with a possible additional page for figures and graphs. We invite abstract submissions from all areas of infant and early child development (age range: pre-natal - 4 years). Full details for submission can be found on the conference website http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lcicd/ .

This three-day conference in September 2018 will run from Wednesday morning until Friday 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, fNIRS, 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 conference is being organized as part of a £1 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust supporting 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 third cohort just having started), together with associated activities.
