Logoscaml   iMM Lisboa has been recently awarded an international project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program. The EXCELLtoINNOV project started this July and will be implemented over the next five years. One of the key objectives of this project is to recruit an outstanding senior researcher in immunity and infection research field. The attraction of such a researcher will undoubtedly have a very positive benefit to the scientific community of the Lisbon region and the country. iMM Lisboa is preparing the kick-off meeting of this project (October 12), that will count with the already confirmed participation of the leaders of the institutions composing the Lisbon Academic Medical Center (please see the preliminary agenda attached), as well as external guests, in a round-table to discuss “how to raise the societal recognition and international reputation of the LAMC”. Our goal is to involve all the community at the LAMC and we really need your help to do this. We are challenging the representatives of the different communities at the LAMC (i.e., Post-docs, clinicians, professors, group leaders, …) to provide the questions they would like to see discussed in this round-table. We kindly ask you to disseminate this request among the professors at the Lisbon Medical School and collect all the questions and blind them (in this way we will guarantee that all questions remain anonymous, being gathered as group of questions from the different communities at the LAMC). Could you please send the questions to us (imm-fundingprograms@medicina.ulisboa.pt) until October 8? If we gather are too many question, we will have to select some, since the roundtable is intended to be very short (1-hour maximum for the entire event and by the end of the afternoon) so that anyone can attend it. If you have any question or want to know more about the project don’t hesitate to contact the Funding Programs Office.
