There will be three separate events, each with the same format, which will take place at the following locations:

• University College London, 10 May 2012;
• University of Glasgow, 11 May 2012; and
• University of Bristol, 23 May 2012.

Time:
Registration for each event will start at 9:30. The events will start at 10:00 and close at around 13:00.

Aim:
The aim of the session is to provide participants with an overview of the Marie Curie Individual Fellowships (Intra-European (IEF), International Outgoing (IOF), and International Incoming (IIF)) and the Career Integration Grants (CIG). These sessions will also provide those wishing to submit an application with a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues they are required to address in planning and writing their proposal.

Who should attend:
The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers who are interested in and/or are planning to submit a proposal to the Marie Curie Individual Fellowships’ calls, which opened on 13 March and close on 16 August, or the second cut-off date for the Career Integration Grants on the 18 September.

The session will include a presentation on the schemes, highlighting changes that have occurred since the 2011 call. It is also hoped that the session will provide a forum for discussion, and to answer questions that applicants may have relating to these schemes and preparing a proposal.

Programme outline:
These sessions will last for half a day. Each session will provide an outline of the Marie Curie Actions, specific details on the fellowships and grants action and the application form and guidance on planning and writing your Marie Curie proposal. There will be the opportunity to ask questions throughout the sessions.
