Following a very successful 1st LCICD\u00a0in 2016, our 2nd annual international conference on Infant and Early Child Development is now accepting abstract submissions for 2017.<\/p>\n
Abstracts should be no more than 300 words (excluding references) with an additional page for figures and graphs. We invite abstract submissions from all areas\u00a0of infant and early child development (age range: pre-natal – 4 years). Full details for submission can be found on the\u00a0conference website\u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/lcicd\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n This three-day conference in August 2017 will run\u00a0from\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0morning\u00a0until Friday afternoon (23-25 August) and will be preceded by an optional one-day Methods Workshop (22 August).\u00a0The\u00a0conference will focus on research in infant and early child development and\u00a0reflect the breadth of methods used in this field (e.g., eye tracking and pupil dilation, EEG\/ERP, fNIRS,\u00a0computational modelling, physiological measures, fetal imaging). We are\u00a0aiming to bring together scientists engaged in cutting edge research and PhD\u00a0students who are starting their\u00a0scientific career, as well as to provide an opportunity for training of PhD students and junior researchers.
<\/span>This conference is being organised as part of a recently awarded \u00a31 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust to establish a Doctoral Scholarship Programme\u00a0in\u00a0Interdisciplinary Research on Infant Development at Lancaster University. This scheme will\u00a0provide a total of 22 PhD studentships over five years (with the second cohort just having started), together with associated\u00a0activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
