ESOF 2010
The call for proposals for the Scientific Programme at the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) in Turin, from July 2-7, 2010, is now open.
"It is important that Ireland is well represented at this event due to its importance in its own-right and as part of the build-up to Dublin 2012" said Prof. Cunningham, the Chief Scientific Adviser.
Irish Section of Euroscience Established
An Irish regional section of Euroscience has been established (January 2009) to promote Irish participation in the activities of Euroscience, in particular in the run up to the Euroscience Open Forum to be held in Dublin in 2012 (ESOF2012). The Group will also provide a grass roots forum for researchers in Ireland, facilitating discussion of issues such as the links between science and society, the development of national science and technology policies and career structures for researchers.
Anyone interested in joining the Irish group should contact Mike Mansfield at m.mansfield@ucc.ie.
Note that the Group represents researchers of all disciplines, including social sciences and humanities.
“I am delighted to see the establishment of an Irish section of Euroscience. As Ireland continues its strategy of prioritising investment in science in these challenging economic times it is important that the scientific community in Ireland has a tangible identity and a coherent voice. The section will also play a key role in ensuring that the Euroscience Open Forum in Dublin in 2012 is an outstanding success.”
