[Event Announcement and Call for Applications] 4 th EFIS-EJI South East European Immunology School (SEEIS2012)

The 4th EFIS-EJI South Eastern European Immunology School (SEEIS2012) will be held in the vicinity of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina from September 20 (Thursday) to September 23 (Sunday) with a major focus on transmitting modern immunology to advanced students, doctors and young investigators interested in the state-of-art immunology.

A group of international speakers will ensure a highly interactive, scientifically stimulative and intense conference program. They will highlight recent advances in inflammation research, T and B cell biology, immunogenetics, MHC and infection, autoimmunity, diagnostics of autoimmune diseases and updates on new technologies and products.

Attendance in this school is limited to 50 persons on a competitive basis. The organizing committee has made special efforts to offer fellowships to participants from lower economy countries from the region covering accommodation and parts of the travel costs.

We encourage young researchers from the South Eastern Europe region, particularly from the neighboring countries to apply for the school where all faculty and participants will have an opportunity of constant interaction and exchanges.

The deadline for applications is July 15th, 2012.

• B cells in autoimmunity
• Autoantibodies in human diseases
• T cell costimulation
• Complement activation and regulation
• Cytokines in immunopathology and therapy
• Imaging of immune cell function
• Immunology of bacterial infections

Speakers

• Miodrag Lukic, Kragujevac         
• Seppo Meri, Helsinki
• Annette Gospos, Luebeck
• Moncef Zouali, Paris

Concept of the School
The primary aim of this summer school is to teach immunology to young investigators in immunology from South-East Europe, i.e. Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Romania. This region needs help to establish a state-of-the-art immunology. Infrastructure and equipment of most of the institutes of immunology in the South of this region are still underdeveloped, but immunological societies in these countries have been or are being formed.
Another aim of the school is to foster contact of these young investigators with other immunological societies. They will meet foreign speakers both from abroad and from other countries in the region, and also young investigators from the region. The region also urgently needs a network of immunologists between the different countries. The common interest in immunology will be a bridge for mutual communication.
The topic of the school is "Concepts in Immunology". Lectures will deal with current concepts in immunology that are of special importance for basic but also for clinical immunology. The last school has shown that many participants have a medical background. Also controversially discussed topics will be presented. To provide an optimal discussion the participants will form small working groups according to their knowledge and interests that will be guided by the speakers. Methodological aspects will also be discussed, and a practical microscopy course will be organized by Euroimmun. Presentation of the work of the young investigators themselves in a special workshop is an important part of the school.

Three previous EJI-EFIS immunology schools were held in Ohrid, FYR of Macedonia, Dubrovnik, Croatia and Kragujevac, Serbia. They got a very positive feedback from the participants. One reason to hold the fourth school in Sarajevo, in the Middle of South Eastern Europe, is that we hope that this location will also allow other young investigators from other countries of the South to participate (Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece) that were less represented in the last schools. But the school is of course open to all young immunologists from the entire region.

Upcoming FP7 Health Innovation Calls

Approach for 2012 is the Theme Health is aligned with the fundamental objectives of EU research policies: improving the health of European citizen and increasing competitiveness of European healthrelated industries and services, as well as addressing the socio-economic dimension of health care and global health issues.

There is a strong emphasis on the participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in most research areas with a major focus on the medical technologies sector. In this way it will provide research support to complement the activities of the pilot innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing which may, inter alia, focus on the removal of barriers to innovation in this sector. The work programme also consolidates the major effort initiated in 2011 to stimulate innovative ideas for research and SME participation via broad, bottom-up topics to be implemented through two-stage submission and evaluation procedure. Such activities are also envisioned to complement the ongoing public-private partnership with the pharmaceutical industry, the Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI). Overall this work programme will continue to support top quality collaborative research that meets the stringent criteria of scientific excellence, professional management of public funding and high socio-economic impact.

Conference: EUROPE 2020 - Towards Innovative and Inclusive Union (17 May 2012)

University American College Skopje holds the sixth annual academic research conference on European integration "EUROPE 2020: Towards Innovative and Inclusive Union" on Thursday May 17, 2012.

Prolonged multiple crises in the past years have provoked ever more people to question the viability of the basics of European integration. This inter- and multi-disciplinary one-day conference seeks to analyze the different components of European political and institutional architecture in search for sustainable solutions to the current fundamental challenges of the European Union. Researchers are invited for multidimensional and cross-sectional examinations of the key drivers behind the negative trends in the various areas from finance, economy, social cohesion and environment to education, media and culture. The basic point of departure is our belief that the nations of Europe possess the capabilities to reshape the Union by 2020 and reinvent the attractiveness of the EU model, which is so far considered the most successful instance of economic and political integration in the history of humankind.

Major issues to be addressed include:

• Federal Europe based on deeper political integration and common economic governance as a solution to the debt and Euro crises vs. revival of economic nationalisms on the continent;
• Creation of a society of knowledge as a developmental priority;
• Improving higher education policies in order to cope with the new challenges and global competition;
• Sustaining information society and reducing the digital gap within Europe as a prerequisite for wider integration;
• Making multicultural practices an asset, not an obstacle towards building more inclusive communities;
• Euro-scepticism as a by-product of political (un)accountability and poor delivery of EU institutions, enlargement fatigue of EU members and transitional fatigue of would be members;
• Western Balkan countries between domestic reform inertia and distracted EU;
• Social cohesion, marginalized human resources and gender aspects in the time of crisis.

Comparative case studies and research-based policy recommendations are encouraged, including but not limited to those concerning the countries of South East Europe.

By tradition, key speakers and high level officials from the country and from abroad are invited to address the conference.

Accommodation expenses will be covered by the University American College Skopje on as-needed basis only for a limited number of selected presenters who need to submit a bursary form.

Technologies for Sustainable Development: A Way to Reduce Poverty?

As a UNESCO Chair in Technologies for Development, the Cooperation & Development Center (CODEV) has the pleasure to announce that an international conference concerning Technologies for Sustainable Development: A Way to Reduce Poverty? (Tech4Dev 2012) will take place at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland on 29-31 May, 2012.

Themes

Conference Guiding Themes

- "Appropriate Technology"? Needs and Participation
- Towards a Sustainable Integrated Development? Partnerships and Systems
- Technology: Transfer or Co-Creation? Knowledge Sharing and Empowerment

Overview

Whilst scientific research can be crucial in guiding innovation and development throughout the world it remains often too detached from reality, particularly in developing and emerging countries. Thus, the challenge is to link scientific research and development practices in order to develop a win-win situation in which science and technologies can assist practitioners as well as reply to social needs.

The conference will look at how science and technologies can support both sustainable development in developing and emerging countries and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as defined by the United Nations in 2000. It will bring researchers and practitioners together in order to bridge the gap between the two communities, focusing on collaboration, methodologies, instruments and policies that could be used and/or encouraged. The possibility of a universal tool and policies for science, technology and innovation that could be of assistance in future collaborations will also be introduced.

The conference will offer unique opportunities for the acquisition of skills, information-sharing and networking and will be conducive to:

- Improving research adapted to the beneficiaries;
- Enhancing research practices;
- Developing better integrated and interdisciplinary research;
- Involving professional and practitioners in these efforts.

Objectives

- To allow new multidisciplinary and international partnerships among researchers and knowledge users (including NGOs, private sector, public collectivities, international organizations, etc.).
- To drive new research projects and training programs with a focus on improving the appropriation of technologies for sustainable development and poverty reduction.
- To increase the awareness of knowledge exchange and participatory approaches by bringing researchers and knowledge users together at the initial stages of the definitions of research questions.
- To set new directions for research, knowledge and capacity development needs related to sustainable technologies.

Expected Outcomes

- Identification of 10 gaps and needs for field applications to allow more effective exchange of knowledge. A statement will be finalized in the last session and published on the webpage of the UNESCO Chair.
- Identification/valorization of flagship research projects – as best practices /examples to show how both the advancement of development and science can indeed be inclusive – (best practices in terms of their added value regarding methods, multidisciplinary approach, development impact, innovation, establishment of partnerships in a transdiciplinary way - i.e., involvement of stakeholders from diverse sectors such as civil societies, international organizations, decision makers, private sector, etc.)
- A selection of the best papers presented at the conference will be subject to a further peer-review with a view to publication in an edited volume by Springer-Verlag.
- Propose at least two new projects in collaboration with EPFL, NGOs, developing countries and beneficiaries.

Who Should Attend?

- Innovative, talented researchers (doctorates, post-doctorates, students, etc.) and practitioners (private sector, public collectivities, representatives from NGO or international organizations) eager to share their research and project outcomes in order to bridge the gap between the two communities for realistic solutions to the real world challenges.
- In order for the conference to be as inclusive and as diverse as possible, participants from developing or emerging countries are strongly encouraged to attend. To alleviate cost constraints, the Chair may award some financial assistance to support attendance and travel needs of candidates whose abstracts have been selected and who are scheduled to present their work at the conference >> See section on Financial Support.
