Individuals with an interest in food research are invited to find out more about funding opportunities and ongoing European research projects at a free seminar to be held at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, London on 16 July.
The event is organised by Defra in collaboration with the Food Standards Agency, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council.
The seminar will explore the funding opportunities available under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), its main funding for scientific research, and will focus on developments so far, as well as future priorities for two particular funding streams under the programme – Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology and Environment, including climate change.
It will also look at the 'Ideas' and 'People' programmes, National Contact Point activities, and the ERA-NET mechanism for the co-ordination of national programmes, and give information on opportunities in the DG Environment LIFE+ Programme.
Among the speakers are: Tim Hall and Kirsi Haarvisto from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research; Tim Willis from BBSRC; Professor Jonathan Napier from Rothamsted Research; and Jo Frost, European Advisor at the Brussels-based UK Research Office, which offers advice on European Union funding opportunities.
Although free of charge, delegates must register using the form below if they want to attend. The completed form should be returned to Ian Sutherland at Defra. Spaces are limited so please return your form as soon as possible by 2 July 2010 .
