TECHNICAL MEETINGS |
|
The aim of the technical meetings is to share experiences and to train new users of these techniques. These meetings will generally be small, with up to 10 participants. They will provide an important opportunity for endocrinologists to calibrate their methods, and for ecologists to learn about (basic) techniques.
Three technical meetings will be sponsored (one per year).
PhD students and Early Stage Post-doctoral Researchers:

in order to be informed with the ESF rules (participation, funding and co-funding, ESF visibility, organisation, administration, financial and scientific reports after the meeting, recording of participants, ESF financial rules for the reimbursement of expenses, ...).
2- Then organisers are asked to submit online the "ESF application form for a science meeting".
Prepare the following documents (.pdf or .doc format):
- Scientific Summary (max. 1000 words) and Abstract (max. 50-70 words),
- Meeting Programme,
- Curriculum Vitae of Scientific Organiser including list of five most
relevant publications
during the last five years,
- Provisional list of proposed speakers/participants.
Go to the following web page and fill in the successive pages:
http://212.234.224.239/asp/form/scmeetings/sc_form.asp?id=53
This application form will be automatically sent to the E-BIRD Network Chairs with a copy to ESF. Chairs have then to notify the Steering Committee members of the proposal for evaluation and decision.
3- The ESF will inform applicants of the outcome of the evaluation procedure.
4- If the application is successful, the organiser will receive instructions on how to complete the acceptance form and on reporting procedures, including online submission of the full list of participants.
Upon receipt of the acceptance form, the ESF makes an advance payment (normally 80% of the allocated grant).
