2009 European
Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research COST (European Cooperation in the
fiend of Scientific and Technical Research) has launched a call for proposals
on actions contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural
or societal development in COST is organised
in nine broad domains (biomedicine and molecular biosciences; chemistry and
molecular sciences and technologies; earth system science and environmental
management; food and agriculture; forests, their products and services;
individuals, society, culture and health; information and communication
technologies; materials, physical and nanosciences;
transport and urban development). Proposers are invited to locate
their topic within one domain. However, inter-disciplinary proposals not
fitting readily into a single domain are particularly welcome and will be
assessed separately. COST does not itself fund
research, but supports networking activities such as meetings, conferences,
short-term scientific exchanges and outreach activities. It receives
financial support for its coordinating activities under the Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7). Due: Friday 27th March 2009 Heart Foundation
Conference - The central theme is
Hearts in focus – celebration,
collaboration and challenges. Authors are invited to submit
abstracts for poster and oral submissions on original work which address one
or more of the following sub-themes - epidemiology and burden of disease,
healthy lifestyle, risk, arrythmias and sudden
death, hypertension, vascular disease, depression / psychosocial issues,
acute coronary syndrome, cardiomyopathies and heart
failure, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, quality use of medicines,
lipids and technological advances Priority populations
are women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. New NSF Graduate Fellows Nordic
