Welcome to ECEM12

The series of European Conferences on Eye Movements was started in 1981 by Rudolf Groner in Bern. The first meeting was quite small, but demonstrated two things. First, eye movement research was in an extremely productive phase. Second, there was arguably a 'European' dimension to this which could benefit greatly from communication and collaboration. The intervening years have seen the conferences grow in size and scientific significance but they have never lost their interdisciplinary emphasis. The biennial ECEM is now the place where new work and new ideas in eye movement research are to be found.

ECEM12 will take place for the first time in Scotland and Dundee University Psychology Department is proud to host the event. The University was founded in 1968 as part of the large-scale expansion of University provision in the UK. Its rapid expansion since, including the incorporation of Dundee's famous College of Art, is testimony to its success. Dundee has both a Medical School and a Law School. Its reputation in Life Sciences research is world class. There are now approximately 12,000 students.

Dundee is a city of about 150,000 inhabitants, located on the estuary of the river Tay on the East Coast of Scotland (where it rains less and where the sun shines more). Edinburgh is about 50 miles to the South. Our 19-century reputation as the City of 'jam, jute and journalism' (it was famous for all of these) has long since been overtaken by developments in the Information Sciences, Electronics and Bioscience, all of which are now major employers. Dundee is located only a stone's throw from the matchless scenery of the Angus glens.

We welcome you most warmly to this twelfth meeting of ECEM and will do our best to make it enjoyable and scientifically stimulating.
