Marie Curie Registration

 

 

Boost your career! Come to the Marie Curie Conference!
17 - 18 July 2008

Programme:

 

The Marie Curie Conference, lasting a day and a half prior to the main ESOF conference will offer fellows special opportunities to broaden their career perspectives and further exploit their potential as Marie Curie Fellows.

 

The conference will include a training session on how to access EC funding and how to write successful grant proposals. There will also be a series of workshops on how creative academics can exploit their research potential in the private sector. Opportunities in alternative careers will be discussed with specialists. Participants will also play an active role through poster sessions searching for future collaborators. Fellows will have the opportunity to share their success stories of dissemination and explore how to reach out and create synergies with other scientific fields. More experienced fellows will also give guidance on making a success of your career.

 

All participants in this satellite meeting will be automatically registered to the ESOF conference. The joint participation fee covering both the Marie Curie satellite and the main ESOF event can be charged to your Marie Curie contract.
