Application Form to obtain the EuPA support/signature
One of the missions of EuPA
Education Committee (EuPA-EC) is to promote, organize or support
Proteomics Workshops in Europe focused on timely subjects.
Why
EuPA-EC is going to promote workshops in proteomics?
The idea is that through workshops, EuPA aim to promote the matching
among scientists from different European national proteomics organizations
or with other countries to identify areas of commonality and explore
the potential for international collaboration. Therefore, EuPA workshops
will create good synergy that may lead to successful research projects
and development of proteomics providing considerable added value
to Europe science. The aim is also that by stimulating joint working
inside European countries active in a particular proteomic area,
to generate new ideas and concepts or to input to policy formulation
in emerging proteomic biological areas that are essential to the
formation of consortia for accessing of funding sources such as
the EU Framework Programme.
Which are the benefits for having EuPA-EC support/signature to my
Workshop?
The application for a EuPA workshop signature/support (see how to
apply below) means to have a EuPA-EC peer review of proposals which
is critically important to its successful since this certainly contributes
to the quality and legitimating of the workshop value to the European
scientific community.
The workshop with EuPA signature will be promoted and diffused trough
all EuPA country members as well as to all European and non-European
institutions and universities as possible.
EuPA-EC will not provide direct financial support for workshop activities.
However, action plans to make this possible have been prepared.
Which will be the best Proteomics Workshop subject?
There isn’t a prescriptive list of subjects or objectives
for EuPA Proteomics Workshops but a successful workshop proposal
should take in consideration that:
• Subjects focused in outstanding proteomic technical approach
or in a particular biological question to be answered by a combination
of proteomic strategies benefiting from the collaboration between
the participants, in terms of expertises and facilities, are welcome.
• Workshops tending to be targeted towards new technical or
scientific proteomic areas and in which extensive international
networks do not already exist will be strongly supported.
The
proposal evaluation criteria will be:
1) the Scientific Quality of the Event (This means: Quality, originality
of topics, Quality of content with regard to complementary skill,
event relevance)
2) Quality of the Host(s) (Previous contributions to the proposed
topic, quality and capabilities of the organizers; Quality of locations/infrastructures);
3) Management and Feasibility (Organizational management, description
of responsibilities); feasibility and credibility of proposed plans;
Publicity and dissemination including web-site/internet forum;
4) Added value and relevance to the objectives (i.e. the application
of proteomics approaches to the improvement of heath, bring together
a mix of basic scientists and clinicians of junior and senior levels;
Composition of audience and identity of speakers, relevance of themes
in relation to European achievements and interest...)
What
EuPA-EC does expect from the workshops organizers?
• A feedback to EuPA-EC in the form of a report, including
if it was the case, the agreed action plan for research collaboration,
technical implementation, etc,
• An Attendee Satisfaction Survey that somehow evaluates the
success of the event should also be provided.
• The possibility to disseminate among the attendees the activities
promoted by EuPA-EC (ie. courses, lab training, workshops, etc)
is expected.
