GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR MARIE CURIE FELLOWS
Boost your career!  Come to the Marie Curie workshop and get registered to ESOF2008!

Tomorrow's researchers should not only be excellent in science but need to have key additional skills in order to:
- Communicate and "sell" their research to public stakeholders and politicians to generate support
- Develop collaboration with private companies to enhance the use of fundamental research
- Foster creative partnerships with other research fields
- Be their own boss – spinning out research ideas into business
- Be informed about funding opportunities

This is what the Marie Curie conference offers to Marie Curie Fellows: a day and a half of training on essentials skills for excellent researchers.

Specialists from the academia and private companies, consultant and EC officials will train you and you will be able to interact with them and benefit from their advice and best practice.

It will also be a unique opportunity for you to practise new skills and gain visibility in the research community with your posters and oral presentations dedicated to communication, or private/academic collaboration.  You will also have the opportunity to share your dissemination success stories and explore how to reach out and create synergies with other scientific fields.

The conference also includes:
- Workshop on how to access EC funding
- Workshop on how to write successful grant proposals
- Workshop on how creative academics can exploit their research potential in the private sector.

Career opportunities for postdocs/experienced researchers will be discussed with specialists from private sector, scientific publishing, consulting companies etc.

All participants in this satellite meeting will be automatically registered at 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.
