The largest event of its kind in the US, the fair will be held in Cambridge, MA, on 2-4 February 2008. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_08 The Rocard Roadmap for Science Education - Getting Youth Interested in Science ============================================================================== Science awareness and training is essential for the creation of a knowledge economy, ensuring progress, innovation and productive employment. The EU has made great strides, but there are still insufficient numbers of scientists, technicians and engineers entering the job market. One way of tackling the challenge is by focusing on the young. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_02 Getting the most out of FP7 =========================== The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) represents a quantum leap in research opportunities. Getting and staying involved can prove a tricky task however. Now a new course is being offered in Italy that gives tips about how to improve project design and management in FP7. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###FOCUS### Breaking the Glass Ceiling in Research Decision-Making ====================================================== Gender inequality persists in the higher echelons of research. An analysis of senior university staff since the 1990s reveals a serious dichotomy in career outcomes for men and women. Men are three times more likely than women to reach the top level positions in research. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_04 Online consultation; offline realisation ======================================== The European Research Area (ERA) concept combines: a European "internal market" for research, where researchers, technology and knowledge freely circulate; an effective European-level coordination of national and regional research activities, programmes and policies; and initiatives implemented and funded at the European level. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_05 How to keep women committed to industrial research ================================================== Based on the interest expressed by the companies participating in the first Women in Science and Technology (WiST) working group, the European Commission has decided to continue the initiative, which started in January 2005. The renewed initiative gives more companies the opportunity to join the group while expanding it to the academic world. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###SUCCESS STORIES### Charting the way to success at the University of Camerino ========================================================= The European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (hereafter C&C) were recommended by the European Commission in March 2005. The purported aims: making research an attractive career, by giving the same rights and obligations throughout the European Union and improving recruitment. The University of Camerino was early in adopting the C&C and, by all the evidence, is now reaping the rewards. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###EVENTS### Rewards for Excellence ====================== Excellence in European Research and science communication will be celebrated in Brussels on 12 March 2008 during the European Science Awards ceremony. http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=13_09 Project design & Project management under the 7th Research and Technological Development Framework Programme ============================================================================================================ 28-31 January 2008 - AREA Science Park Conference Centre - Padriciano Campus – Trieste - Italy http://www.area.trieste.it/FP7training ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###LINKS### CHECK JOB VACANCIES ON THE EUROPEAN RESEARCHER'S MOBILITY PORTAL http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=13 GET PERSONALISED ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOBILITY CENTRES http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=24 SEND YOUR FEEDBACK ON The European Charter for Researchers and the Code for their Recruitment http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/europeancharter OTHER RECOMMENDED LINKS http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=links ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23#subscribe Disclaimer >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=1&newsletter=disclaimer Contact >> http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=23&l2=0&l3=2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** sustineti [romania_eu_list] prin 2% din impozitul pe 2006 - detalii la http://www.doilasuta.ro *** Yahoo!
