Akadēmiskais centrsSubmit your abstract to VisPEP 2024
On behalf of the organizing committee, we are excited to announce the upcoming 4th International Symposium on Visual Physiology, Environment, and Perception (VisPEP 2024). It will take place in Warsaw, Poland, from March 15 to 17, 2024.
The Symposium represents a collaborative initiative among European scientists with the aim of enhancing the visibility of vision science in the region. We encourage scientists involved in various domains of vision science to participate and share their research. The primary objective of the Symposium is to foster collaboration and communication among eye care professionals and researchers across various domains of vision science, including:
- Clinical Studies in Optometry (clinical cases, diagnostics, and treatment)
- Visual Physiology (ocular accommodation, binocular and monocular eye movements, pupil physiology)
- Environment (lighting, visual fatigue, and the technology of visual stimuli)
- Visual Perception (visual attention, color perception, and spatial vision)
The hosting institution for this event is the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. Furthermore, a special issue dedicated to the research presented at VisPEP 2024 is planned for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Abstract submissions are currently open and will be accepted until December 31, 2023.
To submit the abstract and access more information, please visit the website: acko.uw.edu.pl/vispep-2024.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us at vispep2024@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you at VisPEP 2024 in Warsaw!
VISPEP goes ONLINE !!!
On behalf of the organising committee, we announce that the 3rd International VisPEP conference will take place online on 12-13th of November 2021.
The Symposium is a collaborative project of scientists from three Baltic countries – Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, to make vision science more recognisable in our region. We welcome participants from any country involved in various fields of vision science. The main aim of the Symposium is to promote cooperation and communication between eye care professionals and researchers from various fields of vision science:
- CLINICAL STUDIES IN OPTOMETRY (clinical cases, diagnostics, and treatment);
- VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY (accommodation, binocular and monocular eye movements, pupil physiology);
- ENVIRONMENT (lighting, visual fatigue, technology of visual stimuli);
- VISUAL PERCEPTION (visual attention, colour perception, spatial vision).
Hosting institutions: Tallinn University & Tallinn Health Care College Venue: online platform & Tallinn University Extra treat: online workshops for optometrists on the 11th November.
We are glad to announce that there will be a special issue dedicated to research presented in our conference in peer-reviewed journal “Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences” (open access, Scopus database; www.kirj.ee proceedings/) which will be published in 2021.

2nd International Symposium un Visual Physiology, Environment, and Perception successfully organized in Vilnius
In 2018, the symposium was held in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was jointly organized by the Lithuanian Neuroscience Association, the Department of Optometry and Vision Science (University of Latvia), as well as the University of Tartu (Estonia), bringing together the 10th Conference of Lithuanian Neuroscience Association and the 2nd International Symposium on Visual Physiology, Environment, and Perception (the conference webpage: http://www.neuromokslai.lt/en/conferences/lna-conference-2018/).
176 researchers and students took part in the event representing 15 countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, France, Israel, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, USA and Japan). In total, there were 23 oral reports and 50 poster presentations at the conference. The authors of three best poster presentations received the awards.
In 2020, the symposium will be held in Tallinn (Estonia).

Our main sponsor HOYA will present Hoya EyeGenius, a completely new system for full vision examination with a unique method for measuring and correcting fixation disparity. It is the fastest solution on the market today, delivering the ideal prismatic prescription in under ten minutes. Essential background information about the new system will be presented to explain its functioning.
The early registration is still available up to 1 September 2016.
For those having no possibility to attend the symposium in Riga, we offer possibility to follow the lectures and presentations via videoconference.
