The first annual workshop on Crossmodal Plasticity will take place in Rovereto, Italy on August 27-29, 2009.

This year's workshop will focus on crossmodal plasticity in deafness and cochlear implant. The goal of the workshop series is to provide a unique forum for researchers from a range of perspectives who are interested in understanding crossmodal plastic changes occurring in the brain after sensory deprivation and sensory reafferentation. The workshop, different from larger conferences, aims at hosting a small number of speakers (all invited) with no concurrent talks. In addition to the invited talks, there will be a poster session. Four travel fellowships will be awarded to the best poster submissions from young researchers.
