HFSP Awardees Meetings
The HFSP Awardees Meetings were started in 2001 to allow grant and fellowship holders to meet and exchange ideas, as well as to report on the work performed with HFSP funds. The increasing convergence on interest in biology from scientists in different disciplines makes it essential to bring together researchers in a broader forum than is normally offered by more specialised conferences. The wide range of subjects supported by HFSP’s grant and fellowship programs provides an excellent opportunity to facilitate such cross-fertilisation of interests and the annual meeting now has a firm place in the HFSP calendar.
The meetings are hosted by the member countries of the HFSPO. At the beginning only awardees in the last year of their awards were invited, but the positive feedback from participants was so great that all current awardees are now invited. In addition, the meetings provide members of HFSPO’s Board of Trustees, Council of Scientists and Review Committees an excellent opportunity to see the results of the Program. Our ultimate hope is that the personal contacts initiated at these meetings will lead to the creation a vibrant global network of scientists open to ideas from different fields.
The 2008 meeting will be in Berlin, Germany from July 6-9 (NOTE NEW DATES!!!)
