Call for Science Meetings
FFG invites proposals from potential organisers of science meetings (workshops, schools, conferences) to be held before November 2011 on topics with a clear connection to the programme. These include functional genomics technologies, biomedicine (epigenomics, neurogenomics, metabolomics, pharmacogenomics, personalised medicine), bioinformatics, systems biology, environmental functional genomics, biotechnology, biobanking and impact on society.
Priority will be given to science meetings taking place in countries that have not yet hosted a meeting. These are Denmark and Luxembourg.
Priority will also be given to events taking place in countries that financially support the Programme: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom.
