News archive - [Call for Applications]: Direct the way to Innovation in the Forest-based Sector
The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) FPS Domain in conjunction with the Forest-based Sector Technology Platform (FTP) as well as research organisations InnovaWood (wood technology), the Association of European Fibre and Paper Research Organisation (EFPRO) and the European Forest Institute (EFI) invite Young Researchers to present their research results as well as ongoing and planned research at the upcoming 8th FTP Conference to be held in Barcelona, Spain in March 2013.
Bringing together on the one hand young researchers and experienced researchers and on the other hand researchers and industry representatives, the Forum is an ideal opportunity to encourage networking of young researchers within the entire forest-based sector in Europe and abroad and additionally promote networking towards relevant industry and European and national bodies.
A maximum of 20 proposals will be selected by January 31, 2013. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 10, 2013. The selected Proposers will be invited to present their ideas at the COST Early-Stage Researchers' Forum. This forum will be held on March 11, 2013 in the afternoon as well as the morning of March 12, 2013 before the conference.
The final presentations of the accepted proposals must not exceed 15 minutes. At the Forum a selection panel will award the two best presentations. Those awarded will be given the opportunity to present their research again at a panel session of the 8th FTP Conference on 13 March 2013.
The call is open to all kinds of ideas related to the forest-based sector. COST offers the reimbursement of travel and subsistence costs of selected applicants.
