CAReNet networking meeting 2019: How to write successful research grant applications

April 9, CAReNet (www.slu.se/carenet) arranges a fifth networking meeting. We plan for an informal gathering that strengthens our network for clinical research. As previously we meet in the Centre for Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (VHC), at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala.

The first part of the meeting focuses on How to write successful research grant applications. We will enjoy two lectures by Professor Annemarie T. Kristensen, DVM, PhD, DACVIM-SA, DECVIM-CA & Oncology, Dept of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. During the afternoon the programme continues with a session where CAReNet members present own projects. We welcome all interested members to present planned, ongoing or recently completed projects, orally and/or as posters! We will make room for as many oral presentations as possible. During the last session, research funding bodies will give us their view on excellent research applications.

Members that choose to present posters can send in an electronic file (70x100 cm) to CAReNet's secretariat, no later than March 22. We will arrange for the poster to be printed, expenses payed by CAReNet. CAReNet will award a prize to the best poster of the day. The winning poster is selected by a jury of senior researchers and is announced at the end of the day. It is perfectly OK to re-use a poster already presented at other occasions.

Register for participation no later than March 22 using the link below. In the registration form you are asked to state if you want to present your own research, orally or by poster. Last day to register for oral presentation is March 8. Participation at the networking meeting requires membership of CAReNet (if you are not yet a member, register easily at www.slu.se/carenet). All participants arrange and pay for transport to the meeting, as well as overnight stay. The networking meeting is free of charge (lunch and coffee is included).
