3rd European Cystic Fibrosis Young Investigator Meeting
The 3rd European Cystic Fibrosis Young
Investigator Meeting will take place in Lille (France) from 25 to 28 August 2009. This
scientific meeting is organized by the European CF patients’ organizations together with ECFS, the
European Cystic Fibrosis Society, in partnership with Chiesi and the Faculty of Medicine of Lille.
It aims at fostering interactions between young scientists in order to create a long-term
collaborative European network of CF investigators. The meeting will cover all CF research fields,
considering basic research and clinical research.
Fifty young investigators (under 35 years old) will be selected by an international
scientific committee to present their work on CF. They will be asked to give a 10 minutes’ talk and
to present their results on a poster for further discussion. Senior scientists will moderate the
different work sessions. Large time periods will be dedicated to networking. The scientific
committee will reward the best presentations (talk + poster). This meeting provides a unique
opportunity for young scientists to train themselves and share experiences.
This year’s
meeting will also offer a workshop about “Presenting your scientific paper in English”. To register
for this training workshop participants will have to pay 50 Euro, which will be reimbursed if they
attend the workshop.
There is otherwise no registration fee. Travelling costs will be paid by the participating patients’ associations while housing and
meals will be covered by the organizers.
Due to your involvement in CF research, we
strongly recommend young investigators from your laboratory to apply for this meeting, which intends
to become a major regular event in the CF scientific community.
For application, please return the given abstract form by March 13th 2009 to Virginie
Jaunet (vjaunet @ vaincrelamuco.org) and send a copy of this mail to CF Europe (karleen @ muco.be)
or the contact person of your national CF organization. Acceptance will be notified by the end of
April 2009. Further information about the meeting will be provided to selected young
investigators.
We are looking forward to receiving your young investigators’
application.
Sincerely yours,
For the organizing committee,
Franck
