Date: Thu, 23 May 96 11:26:01 BST To: Stevan Harnad (harnad(a)cogsci.soton.ac.uk From: brunon(a)utsax7.univ.trieste.it (nicola bruno) Dear Stevan: The University of Trieste is offering six fellowships in support of research projects to be carried out in Trieste by Eastern European researchers. If you know of a Hungarian post graduate who would be interested in applying to carry out a project here, I would like to help putting in a request. The project would involve coordinating human psychophysical performance (with me) with neural models implemented in a mobile robot (with Dario Floreano, who speaks Hungarian). I thought this may be attractive, given the Julesz tradition in psychophysics, and the relatively short distance Trieste - Hungary. Offered fellowships are 25 million lire. Renting a flat should cost somewhere between 500.000 and 1.000.000 a month, and living expenses should be about 500.000 a month. So the money is reasonable. We are very eager to have collaborators here that can help us develop our projects. Whether we would get one of the fellowship depends on several factors, but we are certainly willing to put in the work to submit a strong application. Please let me know.
