As we are approaching the grant writing season, I thought it good to highlight upcoming opportunities to join the FRG.  These might not be suitable for all candidates, so please read carefully:

If you have >10 publications and patents, and are not based in the UK, it might be possible to apply for a prestigious EU Marie Curie Fellowship. There are a number of schemes, including International Incoming Fellowships (for researchers based outside the EU) and Intra-European Fellowships (if you have spent at least the last 18 months within the EU, irrespective of your nationality).  Please only contact me if are over the threshold of 10 publications. Internal deadline for submissions of applications is mid August, so please contact me if you think you are eligible.

Charl is spending his last few days in China networking and meeting colleagues from all over the world (but mostly from Europe!):  at the end of last week he joined the Euraxess Share Event (at the impressive French Embassy in down-town Beijing), and will join the Sino-German symposium (“Frontiers of Functional Supramolecular Systems”) at Tsinghua (Monday and Tuesday this week).

He also attended the UoB’s graduation ceremony on Saturday, the 20^th of April, but more on that in a separate post!
