Dear collegues. We have 4 vacancies for Eusja members to attend the ESF research conference on the dynamic brain (11-15 November 2012, Stresa, Italy, Hotel La Palma, Milan airport - www.esf.org/conferences/12404) with a free registration for journalists.
We asked if the organizers could host EUSJA members and got an invitation for 4 journalists. The invitation includes free access to the conference, free accommodation for 6 nights and the meal. The journalists have to cover their tickets.

Vi går ihop måndagen den 17 september! Boka in detta datum bums!

Ansök senast 4 september. Eusja-regler gäller. Man betalar själv resan till Bukarest, men är därefter gäst hos den rumänska föreningen som står för alla kostnader för mat och logi m m.

I am hoping to find some Swedish science journalists who would be interested in covering one of the world’s most exiting events in the science of physics, when 30 Nobel Price winners July 1-6 will meet 550 carefully selected talented young researchers from all over the world at Lindau University in Southern Germany to exchange ideas and discuss some of the latest findings in physics. 5 of these young physicists are from Sweden.

The Irish Science & Technology Journalists Association (ISTJA), with support from ESOF 2012, will host an EUSJA Study Tour to coincide with ESOF 2012. The tour programme simply comprises the conference programme with an additional policy briefing session for tour participants on ‘Science in Austerity – Ireland’s response to the economic crisis’. In addition, ISTJA and Alchemist Café Dublin are jointly organising a series of science café events, which take the form of early evening gatherings at which conference speakers will discuss science-related issues in a more informal setting.
