7th EAA Iberian Chapter Meeting - Last Minute Recommendations

Dear alumni,

Please, find below the last minute recommendations and Updated Programme for our Next Meeting, to be held at CNIC, Madrid, on June 8th, 2012.

[from an e-mail written by María del Mar Vivanco, June 4th, 2012]
 
Dear all,

The next EMBL Alumni meeting in Madrid is quickly approaching and there are a few things that I would like you to know before we meet in Madrid this Friday 8th:

- I am enclosing the final programme (please see attached [NB: updated version follows]). This includes a visit to the CNIC facilities at the end of the day. They would like me to tell them how many people will be interested in this visit (for organisation purposes). Please let me know if you plan to attend.

- From the CNIC they also tell me that it is necessary for you to have your DNI or passport with you, otherwise you will not be allowed to get in. They suggest to prepare a list in advance to make the entrance faster and more efficient in the morning. If you want, you can send me your DNI or passport number so that they will have the access cards ready in advance.

- They also inform me that there is no parking available for private cars and in the street the parking is not free.

- Those of you giving a presentation, please bring it ready in a pen-drive (or DVD or CD, if easier for you).

I think that this is all for now. Those of you travelling from outside Madrid have a safe journey. I look forward to meeting you in Madrid.

Best wishes,

7th EAA Iberian Chapter Meeting - Additional Information

Dear alumni,

As the date for our Next Meeting approaches, Maria has sent to us new info plus the detailed programme. Please, note that the programme will be posted later today in a different entry. You can find the details below.

[from an e-mail written by María del Mar Vivanco, May 11th, 2012]

Dear EMBL Alumni,

Please find attached the programme for our next EAA Meeting in Madrid (CNIC) on June 8th. As you can see, there is an interesting mixture of science and discussion about subjects that were highlighted as important in the recent questionnaire.

I hope you will find the programme interesting and be able to make it to the meeting.

Many of you have already confirmed attendance, if you have not done so yet, but would like to participate, please let me know, I would just like to make sure that there is enough coffee and food for everybody. If you have already said no, please ignore this, and sorry for sending it again.

In addition, the EMBL Alumni Association has been very understanding with our situation and has agreed to help us with 2.500 euros, so we will be able to cover PART of our expenses. If you are going to claim some of your expenses, please remember that you will need to keep receipts and invoices for transport. Where participants require reimbursement for petrol, we would need a hand-written confirmation of payment from them, together with their receipt from the petrol station.

I look forward to seeing you in Madrid.

Best wishes,

Maria

7th EAA Iberian Chapter Meeting - Madrid, June 8th, 2012

Dear alumni,

Our Next Meeting will be finally held in Madrid, on June 8th, 2012. Please find the details below.

[from an e-mail written by María del Mar Vivanco, February 24th, 2012]

Dear EMBL Alumni,

Thank you to all of you who replied to the questionnaire I sent last December. Based on the answers and plenty of discussions we have decided to celebrate the next meeting in Madrid, Friday June 8th.

As attractive as a meeting in Mallorca sounded (I know some of you are disappointed), getting there for just one day was difficult for some people and many others could not afford to expand the meeting to two days. Therefore, Jose Luis de la Pompa very kindly agreed to host our meeting at the CNIC (gracias Jose Luis!). We hope that everyone will find it easier to make it there.

I am happy to inform you that the EMBL Alumni Association [EAA] has generously agreed to assign some funds to help us support this meeting. In addition, Iain Mattaj has agreed, once again, to find time out of his busy schedule to come to the meeting. I think that this reflects the interest that EMBL has in the Alumni Association and his appreciation for our Chapter meetings being (together with the Greek one) one of the most active and long running.

Many of you showed interest in having a meeting that includes not only great science, but also the possibility to discuss funding opportunities, facilities and services in our institutions and at the EMBL that could be used by our community, science policy, collaborative activities, networking, lobbying, etc.

Please, let me know, as soon as you can, if you are planning to attend. Please feel free to suggest names of potential speakers that you think would fit within our broad interests.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Madrid.

Best regards,

Maria
