XLth Annual Conference of the Association of Canadian Ergonomists
"Ergonomics - Think it. Live it."
September 14-17, 2009 Loews Le Concorde Hotel, Quebec City


Deadline for Papers, Posters & Workshops: March 9, 2009 Deadlines for Symposia and Panel sessions: March 9, 2009
Hello,
We have received a record number of abstracts and proposals and thank all those who have made submissions. We have had a number of requests for extensions and therefore have extended the submission deadline to March 9, 2009 to give all those interested, an opportunity to send us a proposal.
The Organizating Committee
We are pleased to announce the 40th annual conference of the Association of Canadian Ergonomists (ACE). Through the theme "Ergonomics - Think it. Live it.", the conference will explore the various means, techniques and approaches organizations can apply to create safer and more efficient workplaces. Interventions by ergonomists and scientific research carried out in the workplace with engineers, managers, health specialists and others involved in the organization of work, will be highlighted. The contribution ergonomics has made to work analysis and the resulting improvements will also be discussed. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity to examine how physical, cognitive, behavioural and organizational sciences have taken humans into consideration in the quest to design healthy work environments.
Internationally renowned speakers will address a number of important topics. Practicing ergonomists, researchers and students will present their most recent work in regular sessions or conference streams and panel discussions. Several pre-conference workshops will also offer different levels of professional training.
You are invited to make contributions to the conference:
oral and poster presentations in French or English
case studies: problems and solutions from practice
conference symposia
panel discussions
training workshops in French or English
ACE student members are strongly encouraged to attend the conference and participate in the Student Paper Awards for best paper. This year, we are planning to publish the papers of all the students taking part in the conference in a special booklet to acknowledge the students' hard work.
