== ICAD 2011 ThinkTank==

There will be a “ThinkTank” at ICAD2011, free to all students registering for the main conference. The ThinkTank will be an informal 'question and answer' style  gathering of promising graduate students (at a range of stages in their program, both masters and doctoral level) and distinguished research faculty. It is an opportunity for students to discuss their research, brain-storm problems and techniques, explore opportunities for collaborative projects, and gain invaluable feedback and advice from some of the most experienced researchers in the field.

Students interested in taking part should contact Dr David Worrall ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) ) with an short summary (no more than one page, including the most salient references) of the their research project and any issues they would like to discuss. The number of places are limited, so if this exceeds 10, applicants may be refused. The think-tank will take place on Monday afternoon, 20 June, the day before the commencement of the main conference int he same hotel.
