FLARE

Eleven three-year FLARE 2 Fellowships in multi-disciplinary ageing
research in Europe are available, based in: Austria, Finland, France,
Israel, Luxembourg, Romania, and Sweden.
To mark the launch of FLARE 2, a showcase of the FLARE 1 programme will
take place in London on 4 August 2010. Fully funded places are open to
early-career researchers, scientists, and funding agencies and the day
long event will include presentations by current FLARE Fellows as well
as additional information about the FLARE 2 programme.
On behalf of Professor Alan Walker and the ERA-AGE 2 Coordination team,
we would like to invite you to the FLARE Showcase Event.
PLEASE NOTE ALL PARTNERS HAVE ALLOCATED FUNDS TO ATTEND THE FLARE
SHOWCASE, YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO COVER COSTS OF YOUR ATTENDEES. UNDER
ERA-AGE 2, EACH PARTNER IS ALLOCATED 700 EUROS TO ATTEND THE FLARE SHOWCASE.
We will organise your accommodation on your behalf. If you have any
questions, please get in touch.
Funded by seven European countries, Fellowships are open to applications
from candidates who embrace the two innovative features of the
programme: part of the fellowship must be spent in another country and
it must also involve a cross-disciplinary collaboration.
FLARE is the first European programme on ageing research funded by the
Member States themselves and this unique programme launched in 2007 when
18 successful applicants were awarded the first FLARE Fellowships. FLARE
2 will build on this success.
An announcement for the event is attached along with a draft programme
for the day, delegate information guide and booking form. If you wish to
attend, please complete and return the attached booking form by:
***THE 23RD JULY 2010***
alternatively please disseminate this invitation to your doctoral
students, academics, and other potentially interested parties.
Best wishes
