European scientists well-prepared for international research activities
TRAYSS PRIME provides young scientists with knowledge how to participate successfully in EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7)
An international group of life science researchers attended the workshop “How to write a successful FP7 proposal?” on 15th and 16th September 2007. The workshop was a satellite event to the Autumn Meeting of GBM (Gesellschaft für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie / Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) at Hamburg University.The Polish researcher Dr. Anna Ihnatowicz works with international research cooperation at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne. She says: “FP7 offers great opportunities for lifescience researchers to boost scientific development at European level. Unfortunately the bureaucratic complexity deters many researchers from applying for EU-grants. Seminars like "How to write a succesful FP7 proposal?" in Hamburg deliver great tools for increasing chances for achieving FP7 support.”
Future workshops will be held already on 3rd October 2007 in Copenhagen as a satellite event to the ScanBalt Forum and in Berlin during the Berlin Brain Days on 30th November 2007.
TRAYSS PRIME is an EU-FP6 financed project offering training workshops to young life science researchers on the three topics “Research and Project Management”, “EU grant acquisition under FP7” and “Management of Intellectual Property”. The project partners (Steinbeis Team Northeast, Rostock, ProSciencia Beratungs-GmbH, Lübeck and ScanBalt LifeScience Network, Copenhagen) are experts in European research funding and in research management. The project’s main objective is to sensitize and educate young European researchers from the Baltic Sea Region to enhance their research management skills.
