18th General Assembly of ESUO
The 18th ESUO General Assembly was held on 29-30th August 2022, hosted by the SOLEIL synchrotron
 |
The 18th ESUO General Assembly was held on 29-30th August 2022, hosted by the SOLEIL synchrotron. The meeting had participation of delegates from 27 (out of 31) ESUO member countries. In total 32 ESUO delegates joined the meeting, 21 in-person and 11 online.The meeting closed with thanks from the ESUO president to all involved and an acknowledgement that a lot of work was needed from all on behalf of the whole of the European user community to realise ESUOs primary missions. These can be summarised as promoting Trans-National Access (TNA) to European light sources and the European Commission and, as well as lobbying to support elimination of geographical or financial barriers in user participation, with as simple an access model as practicable.

Action Plan ErUM-Data Community meeting
Register until January 17, 2021!
| On January 18 and 19 2021, a webinar on the preparation of the BMBF's ErUM-Data call will take place (18.01.21 14:00-17:30, 19.01.21 09:00-11:30). Project proposals on the two focal areas of machine learning and AI must be prepared in good time, not least because overarching and interdisciplinary networks are to be formed. The project goals should involve several communities and include researchers from the fields of mathematics and computer science. Please register until January 17, 2021, at: https://indico.desy.de/event/28330/ |
Application advice ErUM-Data and ErUM-Pro
Save the date: Zoom conferences for applicants
| Two dates to note for applicants in ErUM-Data and ErUM-Pro: The project management organisation DESY is offering a virtual information event for the ErUM-Data funding measure on June 24, 2021 (10-12 h). There will be a similar event on ErUM-Pro with the participation of the ErUM committees on July 30, 2021 (13-15 h). Did you know, for example, that you do not have to have a habilitation to submit an application? The calls for proposals will be explained and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The event is primarily aimed at young researchers and others who are planning to submit a proposal for the first time. Further information will follow.
