UKRO recently announced an opportunity to take part in a European funding workshop hosted by the West Midlands European Service. Taking place on the 29th September, 2011 in Coventry, the workshop will focus  on two FP7 Marie Curie schemes: Initial Training Networks and the International Research Staff Exchange Scheme.

The event will provide advice and guidance on the two schemes, both of which are currently open and have deadlines in January 2012. This will include information about the two new ITN strands: the European Industrial Doctorate (EID) Programme and the Innovative Doctoral Programme (IDP). Participants will also have an opportunity to hear from successful applicants, as well as a chance to develop and get feedback on their own outline proposals.

Although this event is being run by West Midlands European Service, UKRO have confirmed that it is open to participants from other regions. To register to attend this event, please go to the WMEU website.
