The aim of this workshop is to develop, promote and take forward
potential paths of research that can be moulded into a consortium bid
for the upcoming deadlines for the FP7 funding call. Specifically, we
need to identify potential calls that we can answer, decide if we need
to lobby for a more specific funding call and identify the
important/relevant branches of research that will aid a successful bid.
Importantly we need to identify leaders for various areas and potential
consortium members. This is an excellent opportunity to network with
people you know and meet those you don’t and hopefully formulate future
research collaborations.
If you are unable to attend the meeting
but you are interested in a role within the consortium then please feel
free to contact me via email (m.fielder@kingston.ac.uk) and I will
present/include your comments and contributions at the Lucca workshop. In
the meanwhile I would like to thank those of you who have already
contacted me in the past few months. We anticipate that this
forthcoming workshop will enable us to work together and take this
exciting area forward. I look forward to seeing you all! Mark Fielder
