[Neuro-2008-committee] Week of 15th to 19th

[David Willshaw]

Dear Pontus et al:

I am happy with our agreed list of keynote speakers. Re Rob's
suggestions: I agree that the idea of a policy & opportunities keynote
speaker is very attractive. Is there any way for this to be added? Re
Rob's idea about neuroinformatics and bioinformatics, I would feel that
this would give a good alternative to  systems biology  but since we
agreed on the SB keynote, I would prefer to retain this  as our number
one.

I am happy with Erik's and Anders' proposed workshop description.

Best wishes,

David
