Marie Curie Workshop Zagreb & Belgrade

Celebrating Nikola Tesla

7 – 11 October 2006

 

 

Nikola Tesla was a remarkable, innovative scientist whose groundbreaking achievements and discoveries changed the research landscape for future generations.

 

In October this year the Croatian and Serbian governments in co-operation with the European Commission have organised a workshop to celebrate the legacy of this outstanding role-model. 

 

As a reflection of Tesla’s contributions to science and innovation, the workshop will be multidisciplinary and cover engineering, physics, mathematics and information sciences, as well as related key issues such as intellectual property and patents.

 

Marie Curie fellows work in the forefront of research and technology including the broad range of disciplines pioneered by Tesla.  This workshop will provide a unique view of the state of the art in these disciplines and enable participants to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration and explore future career paths. 

 

I welcome this exciting initiative and invite you to participate.

 

 

 

Letter from Raffaele Liberali, Director of Marie Curie Actions,  to Marie Curie Fellows

 

 

Dear Marie Curie Fellow,

 

Encouraged by the success of Marie Curie workshops and conferences, I would warmly invite you to participate in the Marie Curie European Scientific Workshop 2006, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla.  This workshop is organised as part of the training within your fellowship and will take place from 7-11 October in Zagreb, Croatia and Belgrade, Serbia.

 

The main purpose of the Tesla Workshop is to provide a forum for Marie Curie Fellows from across Europe, working in the area of engineering, physics, mathematics and information sciences to exchange their scientific knowledge and mobility experiences.  As well as the opportunities to present their work in oral or poster form, fellows will be expected to participate in sessions related to key transferable skills such as promoting technology transfer and IPR management.  This event will also provide opportunities for the Fellows to learn about and discuss the various possibilities to enhance their career prospects within the European Research Area and beyond. Moreover it will be a unique chance for them to build scientific networks with researchers working in similar domains in the Western Balkans as well as with researchers from elsewhere in the EU.

 

Workshop participants will be able to develop communication and other complementary skills by presenting research results to a mixed audience of postgraduates, postdocs, senior academics and captains of industry from a range of subdisciplines.  There will also be the opportunity to exchange views with policy makers, journalists, and the European Commission.  The success of the workshop will thus depend to a large extent on the active participation of the Marie Curie Fellows.

 

Participation is open to all Fellows currently benefiting from one of the following Marie-Curie Actions: Intra-European Fellowships, Outgoing International Fellowships and Incoming International Fellowships, Return and Re-integration Fellowships, Research Training Networks, Host Fellowships for Early Stage Training and Host Fellowships for Transfer of Knowledge, Marie Curie Teams and Chairs, or any of the corresponding Marie Curie action of the former 5th Framework Programme.

 

The number of places available at the conference is limited.  Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.  Upon registration, all Fellows are required to submit an abstract of their research project for a possible poster or oral presentation.  Selection of these presentations will be made by the organisers on the basis of the quality and creativity of the abstract provided.

 

 

For registration and submission of your abstract please use the on-line facility available at the following web sites:

 

www.hatz.hr/MarieCurie2006 or http://www.mntr.sr.gov.yu/MarieCurie2006.

 

Please note that the conference fees and the travel costs should be charged to the research funds already allocated to your host institution as part of your Marie Curie Fellowship.

I look forward to seeing you in Zagreb and Belgrade!

Yours sincerely,
