[BIC-announce] Results: MEG Study Competition Speed-Dating Vote

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Dear All, Dear Participants:

We've attended a very exciting session yesterday, with presentations of 20 truly high-quality projects from motivated and creative scientists. Everyone had just 4 mins to convince the 70+ audience members that their project deserved to enter the second phase of selection of the 2012 MEG Study Competition. Thank you very much indeed to all participants and attendees.

The people has spoken. Everyone had to pick their 3 preferred studies. The first 10 projects below will now undergo peer-review from MEG experts outside the campus and our MEG Research Committee to finalize the selection of the 3 prize winners.

Congratulations and thank you again to every participants. Final results will be announced early January.

Have a great week-end,

Sylvain.
