FEBS Workshop on Transient Interactions

The FEBS Workshop on Understanding Transient Molecular Interactions in Biology, which will be held on May 18-21, 2010 in Seville (Spain), is aimed at analyzing the biological transient complexes, which can be studied in depth only by means of concerted efforts. Thus it is of utmost importance that the researchers from the different disciplines communicate more extensively and integrate their results. For these reasons, the invited speakers, who are leading researchers in their respective fields, will cover the most relevant aspects of transient macromolecular interactions and complex formations.

A number of FEBS Youth Travel Funds (YTF) grants for European PhD students and young researchers, as well as FEBS Transcontinental YTF (TransYTF) grants from regions outside the FEBS area, will be available to cover travel and lodging expenses, meals and registration fee. Some other grants funded by the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM) and the Spanish NMR Group (GERMN) will be available to PhD students from Spanish institutions. In all cases, the deadline for grant application is February 15th, 2010. More information about organization, scientific program, invited speakers, registration, lodging, fellowships, and abstract submission can be found at the meeting web site.

Jornadas de Ensino e Divulgação da Bioquímica

Ralph Brown Expedition Award

The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Ralph Brown Expedition Award is a single annual award worth £12,500, offered to the leader of an expedition working in a marine environment. This includes the study of coral reefs, rivers, lakes and shallow seas. The award was created in memory of Ralph Brown whose passion was jet-boating the wild rivers of the world. He led many expeditions and competed in the top international jet-boating races, winning the world championship trophy in 1996. The deadline for applications for this grant is the 27th November 2009.

OzBio 2010 Congress

OzBio2010 is the 12th IUBMB-21st FAOBMB-ComBio2010 Conference, which will take place in Melbourne, Australia, 26 September to 1 October 2010. As is customary for IUBMB Conferences, a Young Scientist Forum will take place immediately preceding the OzBio2010 Conference. The YSF at OzBio2010 will take place over the period 23 to 26 September 2010, immediately prior to the OzBio2010 Conference. Please note that the deadline for applications for YSF Fellowships for OzBio2010 is 1 February 2010.
