Dear colleagues,
Hoping you all have started the new year with inspiring professional and personal perspectives! We would like to draw your attention to the PAGES workshop ‘Funding starts here - Grant writing for early-career researchers’, which will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, 26-29 May 2019. This workshop is organized by the Pages Early-Career Network <http://pastglobalchanges.org/ecn/intro> and aims to introduce ECRs in the paleosciences to the funding agency landscape, provide strategies and advice on the grant writing and submission process, and encourage networking among ECRs interested in initiating or developing research grant proposals. We are pleased to announce that our list of speakers includes Dr. Maria Uhle (National Science Foundation), Dr. Jonas Bunikis (European Research Council), and Dr. Jana Cejkova (EU H2020 program). They will talk about international grant agencies as well as discuss what it takes to write a successful grant in the field of paleoscience. Furthermore, Dr. Alessio Rovere, an ERC starting grant fellow at MARUM (University of Bremen, Germany) will share his successful grant proposal application experience. The workshop will take place at Masarykova College just outside the city centre of Prague. The registration fee is 150 USD and covers the cost of lodging, breakfasts and lunches. Travel support will be available for early-career researchers, especially those from developing countries. Registration deadline: 15th of February 2019 For more information on the workshop and how to apply, please see the flyer and check out our website <https://fundingstartshere.blogspot.com/>.
