Young Researcher Vision Camp 2013

Dear Young Colleagues,
Dear Vision Camp Fans,

Upon frequent request, we decided to organize the next "Young Researcher Vision Camp" from June 21st until June 23rd, 2013.

Again, we will meet at Castle Wildenstein, the unique tweedy location high over the river Danube. Certainly, we feel bound to conserve the major singular features of the forthcoming Vision Camp:

• A broad spectrum of major areas of Ophthalmology and Vision Research will be covered
• Talks will be given exclusively by doctoral students (Early-stage Researchers)
• Sessions will be chaired by post-docs (Experienced Researchers)
• Dedicated time for discussion and networking activities is mandatory
• Registration fee includes full service around the clock (accommodation, all meals, barbeque, coffee-breaks, special events) EXCEPT TRAVEL
• The special topic 2013 will be “Career perspectives in the private sector”
• Free early morning exercises (do not forget your sportswear)
• Poster session with award for the three best posters (kindly supported by Carl Zeiss AG)
