Grants for female Post-Doc researchers

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please find attached ( grants_encouwomsci_2008-01-28.pdf ) the announcement of grants for female Post-Doc researchers. Grants are provided for participation in the EU-program ‘Encouragement to Advance - Training Seminars for Women Scientists’. The programme ‘Encouragement to Advance -Training Seminars for Women Scientists’ intends to empower women scientists within the European Research Area (ERA), offering training on appointment procedures for professorships in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Trainings encourage mobility and supranational careers in research and higher education.

A four-day-long seminar provides a surplus of knowledge according to

- international appointment procedures
- training on how to conduct negotiations at universities committees
- examination of application documents
- individual support in career strategies development and career-objectives

Since the program ends in 2008, only one last seminar is to be held in Brussels in April 2008. This very last seminar-workshop is especially designed for female scientists doing research in MEDICINE, NATURAL SCIENCES, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY and ENGINEERING. Applications for the program and the grant budget are welcome now, and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thank you for forwarding this message to potentially interested researchers! Sorry for cross-mailing.
