Workshop for Early Career Researchers, Nencki Institute Warsaw, 15June 2005

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

Dear All,

on 15 June 2005 the next event in our series of "Workshops for Early
Career Researchers" will take place, this time at the Nencki Institute of
Experimental Biology in Warsaw.

I would appreciate it if you could help us spread the information among
young researchers in Poland, either by forwarding the message below
directly to potentially interested individuals, or by posting it on
relevant mailing lists and websites, or by including it in your
institution's event calendar (where appropriate).

Many thanks in advance,
Dagmar

Dear Colleagues,

The online magazine Science's NextWave, the "Mobility and Progression in
Science Careers Project", and the Marie Curie Fellowship Association
(MCFA) in collaboration with Nencki Institute Warsaw are jointly
organising a

   Workshop for Early Career Researchers

to be held at the

   Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Warsaw, on 15 June 2005.

The homepage of the workshop can be found at the following internet
address:

   http://nextwave.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2005/05/06/1

The programme includes sessions on

- Women in Science: Gender Balance and Fellowship Opportunities
- European Mobility Programmes
- What is the Alternative? Non-Academic Careers for Scientists
- Presentation of Research Results from the MOBEX2 Project: "Promoting
Balanced Growth in an Enlarging Europe"

A complete programme will be available very soon. Registration for the
workshop is already possible through the webpage mentioned above.
Participation is free of charge. However, registration is mandatory since
places are limited.

In case of inaccessibility of the webpage more information can be obtained
from Seema Sharma at Science's NextWave (ssharma@DROPMEscience-int.co.uk) or
Dagmar M. Meyer at MCFA (dmeyer@DROPMEmariecurie.org).

The workshop on 15 June 2005 forms part of an ongoing series of Workshops
for Early Career Researchers offered in collaboration between Science's
NextWave, MCFA and varying partner organisations. Previous workshops in
the series have taken place in Lisbon and Bucharest. Please consult the
individual workshop websites for details on these events:

We would be grateful if this information could be circulated in particular
among graduate students, PhD candidataes and recent postdocs in Poland,
as well as any other individuals and organisations that might be
interested in the event.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Kind regards,
