ESF Research Conferences – Call for Proposals
2. 4. 2008 | videné 428-krát
The European Science Foundation invites European scientists to submit proposals for high-level research conferences
to take place in 2010 within the framework of its Research Conferences Scheme.
The ESF Research Conferences Scheme provides the opportunity for leading scientists and younger researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent developments in their fields of research. ESF Research Conferences are open to scientists world-wide, whether from academia or industry. Conferences generally last for four or five days and up to 150 participants and invited speakers may attend.
In 2010, the ESF and its partners will fund Research Conferences in the following scientific domains:
· Biology+: Biology at the Interface with Other Science Disciplines
· Physics/Biophysics and Environmental Sciences
· Social Sciences and Humanities
The Call for Proposals is available at: http://www.esf.org/activities/esf-conferences/call-for-proposals..html
Deadline for submissions: 15 September 2008.
For more information, please contact the ESF Conferences Unit at conferences-proposals@esf.org

Advanced Workshop on Structure and Function of mRNP
4-8 August 2008, Aarhus, Denmark
An advanced workshop for PhD students and postdocs is being organised by the Centre for mRNP Biogenesis and Metabolism and sponsored by the Danish National Research Foundation and the European Science Foundation. This workshop will focus on mRNP Quality Control, RNA Helicases, mRNP Formation, mRNA Localization and Structures of mRNP Complexes.
Applications (max. three pages) including a brief CV and a letter of recommendation from your supervisor should be sent to Bjarne J. Bonven (bjb@mb.au.dk). Deadline for application: 15 April 2008.
More information is available at: http://www.mrnp.dk

Summer School on Systems Biology for Medical Applications
30 September – 2 October 2008, Tenerife, Spain
This Summer School, initiated by two EU FP6 systems biology projects (http://www.SysBioMed.org and http://www.gmm.gu.se/AMPKIN), will bring together experimentalists from the medical and biological sciences with modellers and data analysts. The goal is to provide interested novices from either domain with an introduction to systems biology. Participants will be able to explore the potential of systems biology for medical applications. The target audience are PhD students and postdocs, others are welcome.
The number of participants is strictly limited to 100 and the registration fee is 170 EUR. Deadline for application is 31 August 2008 or when the participants limit is reached.

3rd ESF Conference on Functional Genomics and Disease
1-4 October 2008, Innsbruck, Austria
This conference will bring together world leaders in functional genomics to discuss the current understanding of disease mechanisms, the challenges ahead and the technologies that will lead to novel solutions.
The conference programme will include plenary speakers covering topics including Genome Variation, Whole Genome Association Studies, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Microarrays, Comparative Genomics, RNAi, Oncogenomics, Neurogenomics, Signalling and Networks.
Parallel symposia from 15 EC consortia will cover the areas of Systems Biology, Affinity Proteomics, Microarray Development & Exploitation, Genome Annotation, Lymphangiogenomics, Pathogenic Organisms, Mouse Genome Mutagenesis, T Cells, Biobanking, RNAi, Ageing, Epigenomics, Genomics of Metabolic Syndromes, Lipidomics and Transcriptome Atlas.
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 30 May 2008
Deadline for early registration: 30 June 2008.
