"We are pleased to announce the results of the first ISVR Early Career Investigator Award. We had a number of high quality nominations. The first place has been awarded to Monica Cameirao, Assistant professor and researcher at the University of Madeira and the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute in Portugal. Second place was awarded to Sebastian Koenig, CEO of Katana Simulations in Adelaide, Australia. 

In this edition of the ISVR newsletter, we have included three profiles in this edition of the newsletter. The Technology Profile features ISVR Early Career Award winner, Monica Cameirao’s work as part of the NeuroRehabLab. The Clinical Profile highlights a number of commercial and research technologies used in the Virtual Rehabilitation Lab located at Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital in Oslo, Norway. Our Rehabilitation Startup profile highlights the MindMaze solutions for rehabilitation in the hospital and home setting. 

We have listed a number of upcoming conferences that may be of interest to you, including the upcoming ICDVRAT conference on September 20-22 in Los Angeles, California, and the Call for Papers for ICVR 2017 in Montreal, Canada. 

We are always looking for interesting news from our membership, so if you have something exciting to share, such as a meeting announcement or news from your clinic or lab, please pass it on to our newsletter team (newsletter@isvr.org). If you are interested in writing a Technology, Clinical or Rehabilitation startup profile, please contact the newsletter team. 

Finally, in our ISVR Society News section, we would like to draw your attention to the membership for clinicians category. We are reaching out to rehabilitation clinicians who have been using or want to use VR technology in their clinical practice. We encourage clinicians to join the society (membership is free for the first year!) and to enter into a dialog with researchers and technology developers to share experiences and work together to facilitate technology uptake in the clinical milieu, through our ISVR forums, Facebook and Twitter. Happy reading and hope to see you all this fall at the 11th ICDVRAT in September! 

Belinda Lange, Kynan Eng and Sergi Bermudez i Badia, ISVR"
