Training School Announcement

Dear All,
 

• We are pleased to announce that 8 Phd students have been selected for the Training School at the University of Copenhagen

We are delighted to announce to all MC Members and especially to the Ph. D students that we will organize a training school at the University of Copenhagen -Center for Advanced Bio-imaging (CAB)-.

Axed on advanced methods in microscopy, this training school will take place during the summer. In all the 24 seats available for the training school some seats will be made available to the COST. Students interested in the course are requested to apply with a short motivation and, when accepted, to give a short presentation of their research project.

The course is scheduled between 19th and 23th June 2017. Please be aware that the deadline is midnight  May 5th, 2017. We therefore request all interested candidates to submit their applications as soon as possible.

All participants will be reimbursed for their travel, accommodation and meal expenses in line with the new eligibility rules of the COST -January 2017-. The amount afforded to each eligible participant must respect the following considerations :

1. Each trainee must register for an e-COST profile at https://e-services.cost.eu each trainee must add their bank details to their e-COST profile. 


2. A vote of the MC members will decide of the amount allocated to each student according the rules of Training School in COST Actions. 


Sincerely,
Florence VELGE-ROUSSEL
Grant Holder
