Synopsis
The 6th EOS Topical Meeting on Visual and Physiological Optics (EMVPO 2012) will take place at the University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, 20– 22 August 2012. This is the sixth of a series of meetings that has previously taken place in Wroclaw, Poland (1999), Granada, Spain (2004), London, UK (2006), Heraklion, Greece (2008), and Stockholm, Sweden (2010). The EMVPO meetings, attended by students and world-leading researchers in visual and physiological optics, are much appreciated due to their scientific quality and informal atmosphere encouraging discussions. Areas to be covered include basic and applied elements of vision research such as adaptive optics and eye dynamics, ocular aberrations and corrections, intraocular scattering, retinal image quality, cornea, lens, retina and photoreceptor optics.
EMVPO 2012 is organized by the Advanced Optical Imaging Group in UCD and the European Optical Society (EOS).
Final Programme
The Final Programme is now online: Final Programme (pdf, 6.87 MB).

Join our guided Dublin Bay & Castle Tour followed by a conference dinner in the fishing village Howth just north of Dublin. The participation is included in your conference fee.
The Dublin Bay & Castle Tour will start with a scenic drive along Dublin’s coastal drive with some spectacular view of the seaside and shores and end at the small fishing village Howth facing “Ireland’s eye”. You will have time to see the seals or wander through the picturesque village admiring its charming marina before stopping in one of the small restaurants for the conference dinner.
Paper Publication in Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics (Wiley)
Following the conference, a special issue of Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics will be published including papers from EMVPO 2012.
Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous reviewing process to ensure a high quality of all published works.
Submission Deadline: 1 November 2012
The official Call for Papers is available for download here.
Venue
Dublin
The capital city of Ireland, Dublin, has transformed immensely during the Celtic Tiger Years welcoming the visitor to its sights, its welcoming people and culture, and its attractive modern waterfront area. Dublin has always been strongly linked to the sea where also the Vikings made their mark sailing up the river Liffey more than a thousand years ago.
For a night out Temple Bar near the old Viking settlement is where a pint of Dublin's famous dark Guinness (or a whiskey with an 'e') can be enjoyed to the sound of Irish music, a lively chat, and possibly the story of fishmonger Molly Malone.
Literature is key to the Irish and to Dublin, in particular, where a string of eminent writers including Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw, John Millington Synge, Bram Stoker, and of course James Joyce the author of the "Dubliners" have all left lasting impressions in the Writers Museum and in locations and statues across the city. Also not to be missed is the 1200 years-old Book of Kells.
Science has equally made its mark in Dublin where prominent scientists include George Stokes, William Rowan Hamilton, John Tyndall, Francis Fitz Gerald, Thomas Preston, John L. Synge, and Edward H. Synge, while also Erwin Schrödinger worked in Dublin for a number of years. Their work and that of many others has given rise to a modern Ireland soundly based on science and innovation that is reflected in Dublin City of Science 2012.
Just north of Dublin, Howth, is a lovely fishing village with stunning views and flowering vegetation that is worth an excursion. The Irish cuisine although traditionally based on meat and potatoes has embraced new opportunities and now offers excellent seafood, cheese, and chocolates for the gourmet’s palate.
University College Dublin
University College Dublin (UCD) is the largest university in the Republic of Ireland with close to 20,000 students set on green fields in the Southern part of the City. The university was founded in 1854 and established as UCD in 1880 while based near St Stephen's Green in the city centre.
In the early-to-mid 1960'ies, UCD moved to its present location on the Belfield Campus. EMVPO 2012 will take place in the William Jefferson Clinton auditorium on the UCD Belfield Campus.
