14 Dec '17

The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and the OpenSim team will be hosting an exhibit booth at the World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB) meeting in Dublin, Ireland from July 8-12, 2018. We will be organizing activities to promote all OpenSim-related studies being showcased at WCB, so we encourage you to submit abstracts about your OpenSim projects. Submissions are due next Tuesday, December 19th. More details provided below. We will send out more information about our promotion and dissemination activities at WCB 2018 in the new year, so stay tuned. Best, Joy ------------------- Submission Deadline: December 19, 2017 Submission Details: http://wcb2018.com/call-for-abstracts/ Some Relevant Subtracks: There are many relevant subtracks, particularly under the "Locomotion and Human Movement," "Multiscale Biomechanics," "Musculoskeletal," and "Sport Biomechanics, Injury and Rehabilitation" tracks. Of note: * - ISB Session 1 is on "Computer Simulation of Human Movement" (under the "Locomotion and Human Movement" track) * - ISB Session 2 is on "Footwear Biomechanics" (under the "Sport Biomechanics, Injury and Rehabilitation" track) * - NCSRR PI Scott Delp is co-organizer with Manish Sreenivasa (Heidelberg University, Germany) for the session on "Predictive Human Movement Simulation" (under the "Locomotion and Human Movement" track) --- Joy P.

Apply for the NCSRR/OpenSim Visiting Scholars Program Summer 2018 at the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research, Stanford University The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) based at Stanford University is now accepting applications for the 2018 Visiting Scholars Program. The program is a unique experience that fosters expertise and collaborations in biomechanical simulations for rehabilitation research. Up to four individuals will be chosen to visit the NCSRR at Stanford University for a 5-week period during the summer of 2018, from mid-July to mid-August. Each visiting scholar will be reimbursed for their travel and living expenses up to $8,000. During their visits, awardees will receive training and mentoring to help them reach their research goals. They will have the opportunity to participate in formal meetings, discussions with OpenSim experts, and brainstorming sessions with their fellow visiting scholars to advance their research and the OpenSim project. The Visiting Scholars Program is intended for faculty members and postdoctoral fellows with exceptional skills in biomechanics, simulation, and computer science, who will advance the field of movement science through the development of new software, biomechanical models, and outstanding research. Applications are due on February 2, 2018 at 5:00pm local time of the applicant organization. Read more and learn how to apply<http://web.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/scholars.html>. --- Joy P.
