[Biopredyn_pi] on-line petition against EU science budget cuts

by Veronica Raker

Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to the petition started by Maria Leptin, against EU science budget cuts. If you agree with it, maybe you can forward it also to your colleagues. http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu<http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu/> Thanks! Best regards, Veronica Veronica Raker, Ph.D. Scientific Project Manager International and Scientific Affairs Center for Genomic Regulation C/ Dr. Aiguader, 88 08003 Barcelona Tel. +34 933160374 www.4DCellFate.eu<http://www.4DCellFate.eu> www.biopredyn.eu<http://www.biopredyn.eu> -----Original Message----- From: Maria Leptin [mailto:maria.leptin@embo.org] Sent: martes, 23 de octubre de 2012 02:13 p.m. Subject: Please forward - Petition to protect EU science budget Dear colleagues, The discussions at the next summit of the European Union heads of state or government, which is scheduled for 22 and 23 November, will be decisive in determining the EU research budget for the next seven years. Several Member States are demanding severe cuts on the total EU budget and research will have to compete with other policy priorities. This is a time when we, the scientific community, should act together and make our case to protect research funding, including that of the European Research Council (ERC), from cuts. Decisions will be prepared in discussions among politicians at the national level. All of us must look for opportunities to affect these decisions and send a strong signal to the heads of state or government. An open letter signed by European Nobel laureates has been published in top European newspapers this week. The impact of this letter will be increased if it is followed by a mobilization of the national scientific communities. To keep the momentum going, an online petition has been launched: http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu<http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu/> I would like to ask you to sign it and to encourage all your colleagues to do likewise. Note that in the past, less than 30 000 scientists signed the largest petition for a European scientific cause compared to the hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions from other groups of society. We must do better than that. This action is coordinated by the Initiative for Science in Europe (ise(a)i-se.org<mailto:ise@i-se.org>; www.initiative-science-europe.org<http://www.initiative-science-europe.org/>), of which EMBO is a member. Please contact Wolfgang Eppenschwandtner, Executive Coordinator of the ISE if you have any questions or suggestions.

[Biopredyn_pi] BioPreDyn: 29 Oct meeting Bcn

by Veronica Raker

Dear all, Sorry for the late notice, but here's the general agenda for the meeting on the 29th. Everyone should prepare a brief overview of their progress (of about 12 min, with a few minutes for discussion). We will dedicate more time for Cosmo, to get updated about software integration and what's working (and what's not). After lunch, we will discuss the direction of the project without Fluxome, as well as managerial issues (deliverables, etc). A couple of people have mentioned that they won't make the dinner on Sunday evening; I will reserve for the remaining people (let me know if you are vegetarian etc). The final 2nd interim report is posted on the intranet; please let me know if you want me to mail it to you. Thanks a lot for your cooperation with that! Best wishes, Veronica Veronica Raker, Ph.D. Scientific Project Manager International and Scientific Affairs Center for Genomic Regulation C/ Dr. Aiguader, 88 08003 Barcelona Tel. +34 933160374 www.4DCellFate.eu<http://www.4DCellFate.eu> www.biopredyn.eu<http://www.biopredyn.eu>

[Biopredyn_pi] BioPreDyn: issues to be addressed for 29 Oct meeting

by Veronica Raker

Dear all, We are preparing the agenda for the meeting on Oct. 29th. The general format will likely be: short scientific talks in the morning (from 9-13), and a general assembly discussion in the afternoon (14-16). I have a couple of questions: 1. Which issues need to be addressed? The most pressing one, of course, is how to proceed without Fluxome, and we will spend time discussing this. Are there other additional issues which you think we should address? (problems with hiring personnel, for example…). I would appreciate it if you could let me know before Monday, so I can introduce them into the agenda. 2. Will you NOT be able to attend the dinner 28 Oct (20:30-22:00)? We unfortunately don't have the budget to cover this, so I would ask each to pay from their own budget. I would make a reservation in a restaurant with a fixed price menu, to make it easier to get individual receipts for this. Could you let me know if you will NOT be able to attend? Also, please let me know if you do not eat fish. (3. And please don't forget to let me know by Monday if I should change anything in the interim report!) Thanks. best wishes, Veronica Veronica Raker, Ph.D. Scientific Project Manager International and Scientific Affairs Center for Genomic Regulation C/ Dr. Aiguader, 88 08003 Barcelona Tel. +34 933160374 www.4DCellFate.eu<http://www.4DCellFate.eu> www.biopredyn.eu<http://www.biopredyn.eu>

[Biopredyn_pi] BioPreDyn: 2nd interim report

by Veronica Raker

Dear all, The interim report was delayed on my side, as I was waiting to clarify the situation of the consortium without Fluxome with the EU officers (which is still underway). Here is the draft I would like to submit. Could you please look through it to see if it is accurate? If you find anything that should be changed, I would appreciate it if you could get it back to me before Monday Oct. 15th (when I will submit it). Sorry for the short time I'm giving you for this review. Best wishes, Veronica
