Dear Organizing Committee,
My name is Sena Koca, and I am a research assistant at the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa. I am also currently pursuing my PhD in Sport Sciences at Marmara University. My academic interests mainly focus on motor learning, motor control, skill acquisition, and neuromuscular mechanisms underlying movement.
I recently came across the announcement for the Motor Control Summer School – XXIII, and I was very excited to learn more about the program. The opportunity to engage with leading researchers in the field and participate in discussions related to motor control would be extremely valuable for my academic development.
However, I could not find detailed information regarding the application and registration process. I would be very grateful if you could kindly provide information about:
Application/registration procedures
Important deadlines
Participation fees and what they include (accommodation, meals, transportation within the park, etc.)
Availability of financial support or scholarships for international participants
Any required documents for application
I would also appreciate it if you could share any official website or registration link related to the summer school.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Sena Koca
