The University of Western Sydney is once again proud to support the annual UWS Sensory Neuroscience Symposium. Now in its third year, the meeting is a fixture on the Australian neuroscience calendar. We hope you will join us in a relaxing environment, chatting with colleagues about all things sensory. The Symposium opens with a Keynote Lecture on "Sensory processes: practical applications in neuroscience" by Prof Rob Shepherd of Bionics Institute, Melbourne, followed by 16 invited speakers presenting in four consecutive sessions: Vision, Auditory, Olofactory and Somatosensory. We encourage poster presentations.

Morning and afternoon teas, lunch and evening canapés and drinks are all included in the registration, and there will be plenty of time to interact. We look forward to seeing you at UWS!

Registration

Registration is required for all those attending the symposium. Please register online by Friday 30 November. 

In addition, all those presenting at the conference (speaker and poster presentations) are required to submit their abstract online by 26 November.

Location

The meeting will be held at the UWS School of Medicine, Australia's newest research-intensive Medical School. This is located on the Campbelltown campus, a 45 minute drive or 60 minute train ride from central Sydney.

Building 30, Goldsmith Avenue, Lecture Theatre 213 Campbelltown campus.

The UWS Sensory Neuroscience Symposium includes 16 invited speakers from around Australia, presenting their latest work on tactile sensation and proprioception, visual and auditory neuroscience, the vestibular system and the chemical senses. View the Symposium program (opens in a new window) [PDF, 39.85KB].

Parking

Pay and display one day parking permits are available from the pay and display permit machines located in the parking areas on the UWS campus (refer to the Campbelltown campus map (opens in a new window) for the exact location of the permit machines). Permit machines accept cash and credit cards and entitle the holder to park in yellow car park bays. Please park in a yellow spot as parking in an area designated blue or red will attract a fine.

Public Transport

The Campbelltown campus is located next to Macarthur Station and is only a 3 minute walk to Building 30. Macarthur Station is the final stop on the Airport-East Hills rail line; interstate visitors can hop on the train directly at the Domestic Airport. View train timetables (opens in a new window).
