Meeting Description:

The 7th International Conference on Speech Motor Control will be held 5-8 July
2017, hosted by the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. The aim of this
conference is to advance interdisciplinary and fundamental research in speech
production and pathology by bringing together prominent scientists and
talented young researchers of multiple fundamental disciplines (neurosciences,
engineering, human movement sciences, genetics, psychology, and linguistics)
as well as clinical areas (neurosurgery, medicine, and speech and language
pathology).

The atmosphere of the conference is friendly and supportive. There are no
parallel sessions, poster presentations are valued equal to oral
presentations, excellent catering keeps attendees together during the day,
thereby stimulating both formal and informal exchange of ideas and
experiences. As a sign of positive feedback the organizers of the SMCs have
witnessed many returning participants.
