ConGen Calls - Grants & Science Meetings

The ESF Programme on Integrating population genetics and conservation biology: Merging theoretical, experimental and applied approaches (ConGen) announces a Call for Workshops and for Applications for Exchange Grants, deadline 15 May 2006.

ConGen invites proposals from potential organisers of Workshops to be held in 2006 on topics with a clear connection to the core of the ConGen Programme. We would particularly welcome proposals that integrate the different scientific topics as outlined in the scope of the Programme (http://www.esf.org/congen). Priority will be given to workshops taking place in countries that financially support the Programme.

ConGen is offering funding for a number of Exchange Grants (visits from 15 days to 6 months) related to the scientific objectives of the Programme. Priority will be given to applicants who come from or intend to visit countries that financially support the programme, particularly if both criteria are fulfilled.

ConGen also offers a limited number of Short Visit Grants (visits up to 15 days). There is no fixed deadline for the submission of applications. Applicants should ensure that there is at least 3 months between the date of submission and the proposed starting date of the visit.

Further information, including access to the online application forms, at http://www.esf.org/congen

I hope that this is of your interest. Regards,

Jorge Brenner
