Dear all,

CCBIO has the pleasure of inviting you to the 11^th CCBIO Annual Symposium May 8-10 at Hotel Solstrand close to Bergen. The symposium is open for all, so please feel free to circulate this invitation.

The 2022 symposium was a success with more than 240 participants, and we expect the enlarged 2023 symposium to be even better with its generous time frame and two overnight stays. You can choose between attending online for scientific updates, or in-person at Hotel Solstrand in order to also enjoy the company of colleagues and the informal and mutually fertilizing scientific crosstalk in the breaks and the evenings.  We expect the symposium to become fully subscribed, it is already well booked, and we strongly recommend you to register early and within the deadline of March 31 (closes earlier if fully booked earlier). We have secured a range of international speakers, among them Alexander Swabrick, Amy Leblanc, Anniina Färkkilä, Benno Schwikowski, Douglas Lauffenburger, Frederic Amant, Iain McNeish, Ian Mills, Ingrid Hedenfalk, Klaus Pantel, Michael Rogers, Rameen Beroukhim, Robert D’Amato and Stephane Terry. Younger researchers will be offered slots for 3-minute speed-talks as well as extended poster sessions with ample time for interaction between the participants.

The heavily subsidized registration fee is 3000 NOK/300 Euro per person for the three days and two overnight stays with full board. In order to enable us to accommodate 200+ participants in the 138 rooms available, we are dependent upon as many as possible sharing rooms (up to four).  So, please indicate if, and with whom, you are willing to share your room when you register online.

To fulfill this mission, we have partnered with PD. Dr. Daniel Mertens from Schiller & Mertens: Scientists Need More! on our latest research funding webinar, where we will cover:

1. How to find research funding faster – with a focus on grants for Europe-based early-career researchers.
2. How to write a successful grant application – part 1 – “marketing” your ideas.
3. How to write a successful grant application – part 2 – how to project manage: budgeting for time and money.

Khrono og studenttidsskriftet Argument arrangerer skrivekonkurranse for alle studenter i Norge på bachelor- og masternivå. Temaet for skrivekonkurransen er håp.

Skrivekonkurranse – Argument: (argumentnett.no)
Fremtiden kan se dyster ut: Det er krig i Europa, vi står i en klima- og naturkrise. 100 millioner av mennesker i verden er på flukt. Samtidig er kvinners- og andre minoriteters rettigheter i regress flere steder. Hjemme i Norge øker de sosiale forskjellene og flere kjenner på strammere budsjett og økonomisk utrygghet.

Hvordan ha håp for fremtiden i dag?
