The spring's users' meetings

Here are the dates on which we plan to hold users' meetings during the spring (always at 11.00 in the R43 conference room):

8/2, 8/3, 5/4, 3/5 and 7/6.

Season's greetings

The manager wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Cancelled users' meeting

The users' meeting on the 11th of January has been cancelled, so that the next meeting will take place on 8th of February instead.

The next neuGRID meeting

The next neuGRID meeting will take place January 24-26 in Brussels. This will constitute the Final event, where the project is unveiled to scientific community. An agenda will be posted here later on. A training session for key researchers within the community will also be held during these days, with the help of some of the SMILE users. We are currently organizing internal practice events on using the grid to prepare ourselves for this.

Book project "Neuroimaging"

Lena Cavallin was invited to participate in a book project, but had to decline the offer. It is however open for contributors (Open Access), so if you are interested, contact Sandra Bakic (see below).

Here is the detailed information:

My name is Mrs. Sandra Bakic and I am contacting you regarding a new InTech book project under the working title "Neuroimaging", ISBN: 978-953-307-413-9.

This book will be published by InTech - Open Access Publisher covering the fields of Science, Technology and Medicine.

You are invited to participate in this book project based on your paper "Voxel-based correlation between coregistered single-photon emission computed tomography and dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging in subjects with suspected alzheimer disease", your publishing history and the quality of your research. However, we are not asking you to republish your work, but we would like you to prepare a new paper on one of the topics this book project covers.

Publication of the book is scheduled for 25 July, 2011. It will be abstracted and indexed in major online repositories and search engines. The book will also be available online and you will receive a hard copy via express delivery service.

Why should you participate?
- "Neuroimaging" covers your area of research
- Free online availability increases your paper's impact
- Each InTech book chapter is downloaded approximately 1000 times per month
- More citations of your work (research findings indicate that papers published under the Open Access model are likely to enjoy increased citation rates)
- You keep the copyright to your work

Going to Geneva

The manager will together with two users participate in the last neuGRID quarterly meeting, held in Geneva, Switzerland, on 6-8 of December. Hopefully we will see some more of the graphical user interface and have our example pipelines put through a fully functional grid!
