Hi everyone,
I hope you won't mind me advertising two events at the upcoming General Assembly of EGU in Vienna. Both are not scientific sessions, but they do deal with topics of concern to all of us!
With best wishes,
Susanne
(1) Great Debate GDB4 Is Open Science the way to go?
Thursday 27 April, 15:30 - 17:00, room E1
Conveners: Claudia Alves de Jesus Rydin, Susanne Buiter and Barbara Ferreira
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/25038
Many scientists support Open Access publishing of their manuscripts. But is support for open access to the underlying research data as easy to achieve? Open access to research data will allow broad usage of data across disciplines. Since public money was used to pay for the research, why should data only be in the hands of a few? Open Science will also allow open verification of research results. But on the other side of this openness are questions related to the protection of scientific information, Intellectual Property Rights, privacy concerns, and security of data. This debate aims to highlight the pros and cons of Open Science and discuss the potential consequences to the scientific community.
Panelists:
• Prof. Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, European Research Council (ERC)
• Prof. Barbara Romanowicz, Collège de France and Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris
• Dr. Kerstin Lehnert, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University
• Grace Baynes, Springer Nature
Moderator: Ivo Grigorov, Danish Technical University

This workshop provides background and tips for Early Career and Advanced Researchers planning to apply for an ERC Grant. Programme:
(1) Overview of the ERC Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grant programmes by ERC Executive Agency member Claudia Alves de Jesus Rydin addressing questions as: What type of proposals does ERC seek? Which stage of career to apply? What are new developments?;
(2) Experiences from past ERC grant winners:
(2a) Alida Timar-Gabor, winner of a Starting Grant in 2016 for INTERTRAP "Integrated dating approach for terrestrial records of past climate using trapped charged methods”,
(2b) Peter Jan van Leeuwen, winner of an Advanced Grant in 2015 for CUNDA "Causality Relations using Nonlinear Data Assimilation";
(3) Tips from past PE10 review panel member Liviu Matenco;
(4) Time for Q&A.
