Dear
all,
We
are happy to announce the 13th European
Summerschool "Advanced Proteomics", July 28th -
August 3th, 2019.
This
year we are heavily supported by FEBS and the school is embedded
in the FEBS 2019 "Advanced Course" series.
We
would be happy if you could announce the Summerschool again on
your webpage and send the information to your members. Thanks!
Again
we will stay in nice Kloster Neustift, Brixen/Bressanone, South
Tyrol, Italy (http://www.kloster-neustift.it/en/order-convent.html).
The
registration
and abstract submission is already possible at https://advancedproteomics2019.febsevents.org/.
We
very much appreciate support from all national societies by
selecting 2-3 students from the respective country for
fellowships.
Please
let your selected students know that they should additionally
register via the official webpage and explicitly specify that
they are scholarship holders. This helps us a lot with our
organization.
For
our administrative process we would kindly ask you to send the
information about the number of students you plan to award with
a fellowship as soon as possible. The final number and names of
students we please need by April 15th.
The
costs for all participants (covering accommodation, meals and
special activities) will be 675 Euro.
Registration
will
close by May, 15th 2019.
Thanks
a lot for your support in advance!
All
the best
Katrin,
Bernhard,
Simone, Caroline & Shabaz
Many scientists use
proteomics as a research tool, e.g. in medicine, veterinary
sciences, bioengineering, biology, pharmaceutical sciences,
ecology and even within art sciences. BePA (the Belgian
Proteomics Association, www.belgianproteomics.be)
is the organization that coordinates all the proteomics expert
labs in Belgium (www.belgianproteomics.be/expertise)
in order to help people in other fields to find their way in
proteomics. They are organizing a workshop and
a conference day for people that are looking for an answer
to a question that involves proteins. Are you looking
for a collaboration, trying to understand the potential of the
proteomics field, or have you used proteomics along the way
and are you now in the final stage of your PhD? Then this is
the event that will lead the way. Attendees will in no way
become experts in proteomics or mass spectrometry. However,
this conference will teach you the language to communicate
with a proteomics lab and to think along. Attendees will
better understand the dos and don’ts in proteomics and be able
to design their own experiment in order to find an answer to
their protein-related questions.
The deadline for
submitting abstracts is this Friday, November 25th 2018. All
topics related to proteomics are welcome. Up to seven
submitted scientific contributions will be selected for an
oral communication of 15 minutes.
In conclusion, I
personally invite you to participate in the two-day event"What
can proteomics do for you?" taking place at the ULB Campus
Solbosch, Brussels, Belgium on 6-7 December 2018.
Separate registration for the workshop or the conference day
is possible.
For detailed
information, scientific program, registration, abstract
submission and directions to the venue, please go to the BePA
websitehttps://belgianproteomics.be/events-2/upcoming-events/bepac2018-in-brussels-december-6-7/.
Looking forward to
seeing you in Brussels.
Messages from EUPA Young Proteomics Investigator Club
1. YPIC webinars
We
want to provide you with insights apart from the basis of your
daily work, which is why we kicked-off a series of webinars on
career development and social aspects of being a scientist a few
months ago. The 1st YPIC webinar is
available online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O39faEL7d1o
We
are more than pleased to announce the next webinar on 5th of
November 2018 by Kathryn Lilley, director of the Cambridge
Centre for Proteomics. During our mentoring day at the EUPA
2018, Prof. Lilley already gave an inspiring insight into career
development and thankfully agreed to continue supporting us. Her
webinar talk will be about a topic she is very fond of:

Of
course attendance is completely free and we are hoping to see
you all!
2. YPIC Survey on the Junior/Senior
Professional Relationships
We
all have been and will be influenced by the mentoring we receive
and give, whether we are fully aware of it or not. For early
career investigators, it is especially important to meet the
"right" people! Make sure to fill out our survey on mentoring
and supervision which will enable us to map the need for
mentoring in science:

The
survey is online for 1 month starting from October, 24 2018 and
will end on November, 26th 2018.
We are looking forward to receiving your responses.
3. YPIC CHALLENGE #2
Have
you ever wondered whether you can express an English sentence in
Escherichia coli? No? Well, you are probably not the only one.
Yet, intrigued as we are by the complexity and limits of life,
the Young Proteomics Investigators Club (YPIC) went ahead and
tried this inciting idea, with the help of PolyQuant. And guess
what?! E. coli does speak English and has blessed this world
with the first-ever three-dimensional grammar.
Why?
Because we like challenges and we believe, you do too.
Therefore, we dare you to join us in studying this unique
protein, assembled by this fascinating creature with the sole
purpose of challenging you.

more info on why and how to participate as well as to register

Be
aware registration deadline, November 25th 2018,
is approaching fast.
4. EuBIC Winter School
Our
friends at the European Bioinformatics Community are organizing
a user meeting and workshop from 15th to
18th of January 2019 in Zakopane,
Poland. The meeting is aimed at education and training on
established proteomics tools and workflows. This year, the focus
lies on quantification strategies in data independent
acquisition. Make sure to reserve your spot in
this popular course, places are limited!
https://www.proteomics-academy.org/eubic-winter-school-2019
At
the EuBIC Winter School 2019, YPIC team will announce category winners of
the YPIC Challenge #2 at our special Award Ceremony.
5. EUPA 2019 Congress
Next
year's meeting of the European Proteomics Association will take
place in Potsdam (Germany) jointly organized with the Proteomic
Forum. Of course YPIC will be represented there and we are
trying to organize events for young scientists. We'll keep you
updated!
Abstract
submission for EuPA 2019 has started! Make sure to submit before
the 16th of December.
6. Representatives for Member-Countries
If
your country has not yet sent a representative you are more than
welcome to present a young and motivated researcher who can
represent her/his country.
