Professor Herpers becomes VISTA Affiliate Member
Professor Dr Rainer Herpers has been appointed an affiliate member of the VISTA network of vision research which is hosted at our Canadian partner institution York University.
Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) is a collaborative program funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund that builds on York University's world-leading interdisciplinary expertise in biological and computer vision.
VISTA aims to be the world’s premier nexus for transdisciplinary, translational vision research.
In collaboration with over 50 academic, public, and for-profit partners from around the world, VISTA will propel Canada as a global leader in the vision sciences by integrating visual neuroscience with computer vision to drive innovation.

The membership consolidates the cooperation with our long term partners at York University and gives H-BRS researchers the opportunity to participate in all activities related to the VISTA programme.
Please also see http://vista.info.yorku.ca/partners/ for a complete list of all international partners of the VISTA network.
An example for this successful partnership is a parabolic flight campaign planned for next year in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center DLR and the series of underwater experiments currently undertaken at German Sport University Cologne.
