"In this last edition of the ISVR newsletter for 2016, we are featuring research profiles from the iMoVE research group at the University of Portsmouth’s Virtual Reality Lab and the Augmented Human Assistance project from the Technical University of Lisbon’s VisLab. We have also provided a summary of the Best Student Paper award and the Best Student Short Paper award winners from the recent International Conference Series on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technologies (ICDVRAT). 

Our ISVR news includes the call for nominations for the second ISVR Early Career Investigator Award and the call for papers for the 11th International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation. The purpose of the ISVR Early Career Investigator Award is to recognize and acknowledge outstanding contributions by early career scientists whose research relates to virtual rehabilitation. The recipient will be awarded a certificate, free registration at an upcoming ICDVRAT or ICVR conference and be asked to present their research as a platform paper at that conference. A runner-up will also be awarded a certificate. Paper, poster and workshop submissions for the 11th International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation are due on January 2017. 

We wish you safe and happy Holidays and all the best for 2017!
