INTERDISCIPLINARY EUROPEAN AWARENESS ACTION AND EDUCATION MEETING
ON
INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND NEUROSCIENCES
Brussels, Belgium
Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16, 1996
**************************************************************************

Organized by CID (Centre de Hautes Etudes Internationales d'informatique
documentaire)
with the cooperation of AII (Aide Informatique a l'Information)
and sponsorized by the European Community (ISPO)
We hope that this action will enable us to answer a number of questions,
among which, "How do neuroscientists store and retrieve information ? Is
'Information Retrieval' of any use to neuroscientists ? Is 'Information
Retrieval' of any use on the network ? How should 'Information Retrieval'
be adapted to probable future needs ?"
The meeting will take place at the :
"EuroVillage"
Boulevard Charlemagne, 80, Karel de Grotelaan
Brussels 1040, Belgium
