European Forum for Early Career Researchers, Otocec/Slovenia, 6-7May 2005

["Dagmar M. Meyer" <dmeyer@DROPMEmariecurie.org>]

Dear All,

On 6-7 May 2005 the "European Forum for Early Career Researchers" will
take place in Otocec, Southern Slovenia. The event is jointly organised by
the Marie Curie Fellowship Association and the Slovenian public foundation
"Ad Futura".

The idea of the Forum is to bring together early career researchers and
more experienced colleagues from across Europe, from across disciplines,
and from a broad range of professional backgrounds. The event will also be
of particular interest to people involved in science policy at national or
European level.

The Forum will essentially consist of a number of workshops, covering a
broad range of topics. Half of these will be of a practical nature,
providing participants with training in transferable skills, the other
half will be more science policy oriented.

Participants will also have the opportunity to present posters for sharing
information about their research projects and other topics of interest to
early career researchers.

We expect about 150 participants. Marie Curie fellows are especially
invited to attend (regardless whether their fellowship is still ongoing or
already over).

More information about the programme, registration procedure etc. can be
found on the website of the event at www.ad-futura.si/EuroForum.

If you believe your colleagues would be interested in participating in
this event or you have a possibility to promote the event among other
early career researchers, you can download an A4 size poster with basic
information about the Forum and post it on your information board or
other spot frequently visited by other researchers. You can access the
poster through this link:

http://www.ad-futura.si/euroforum/slike/Promotion/A4-color.pdf

(the poster prints well both in colour and in black-and-white).

I hope that at least some of you will decide to join us in Otocec in May!

Kind regards,
Dagmar

Important note to current Marie Curie fellows:
Current Marie Curie fellows can ask their host institutions to cover their
travel and registration costs from the "Community contribution towards the
research and administration costs associated to the fellowship" (FP5, this
unfortunately does not apply to Industry Host Fellowships) resp. from the
"Community contribution to the participation expenses of eligible
researchers" (FP6, this does not apply to the Transfer of Knowledge
Fellowships from FP6 and the outgoing phase of the Outgoing International
Fellowships). If you need any help in this respect, please contact us at
EuroForum@DROPMEmariecurie.org.
