The European Young Researchers Award (EYRA) is granted since 2010 to researchers demonstrating outstanding research performance and leadership. It aims to inspire early stage researchers to incorporate a European dimension and perspective into their research.

The Award is granted each year; in odd years, the prize is dedicated to PhD candidates, and in even years to post-doctoral fellows. The prize-giving-ceremony is held every two years at the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) where the two recipients will present their work. The Award consists of a Certificate, waiving the participation fee to ESOF, a grant to cover travel and accommodation for the stay in the ESOF city and a two years’ free EuroScience membership.

The deadline for the 2015 call, dedicated to PhD candidates, is June 1st, 2015!

The Digestive System in Cephalopods, a CephsInAction Workshop

First Announcement & Call for Expression of Interest in Attending

Digestive system in cephalopods

a workshop under the aegis of FA1301 COST Action WorkShop Gut

COST Action FA1301 “CephsInAction” will convene for its annual meeting this year in Lisbon (Portugal; November 25 – 27, 2015).    A “special scientific event” dedicated to the digestive system in cephalopods, with a focus on physiology, nutrition and metabolism will take place on Tuesday 24th November.

 

Overview

In contrast to many areas of cephalopod biology the digestive tract has not been the subject of such extensive study. However, understanding its normal functioning has wide ranging implications for aquaculture, fisheries and for the care and welfare of cephalopods in laboratories where research is now subject to regulation under Directive 2010/63/EU.

Focusing on such a specific topic, with presentations of recent data and advances, will represent a useful opportunity to get to know what is going on in this relatively neglected but important area.
