well recently, and I think this is well worth to look into further for the OWW

is a golden opportunity to attract many more users by providing easy to use
facilities through OWW to share data, which meets the requirements stated by

Research Equipment Initiative 2007 Launched<BR><BR>The Research Equipment
Initiative has now been launched for 2007 and has a<BR>budget of approximately
£5M. The Research Equipment Initiative provides<BR>support (£50K - £250K) for
the purchase of mid-range, multi-user,<BR>multi-project equipment and further
funding for its installation and initial<BR>set-up. The scheme aims to
contribute to the physical research<BR>infrastructure within UK HEIs and BBSRC
approved Independent Research<BR>Organisations (IROs) to enable high-quality
research within the BBSRC remit.<BR>It also promotes sharing of equipment and
partnership between departments,<BR>institutions and external sponsors of

Industry Interchange Programme<BR><BR>IIP supports the short-term exchange, in
either direction, of researchers<BR>between the science base and industry. The
objective of the programme is to<BR>support interchanges that provide
strategic advantage to the UK science base<BR>and industry arising from
reciprocal access to facilities, expertise and/or<BR>knowledge, and an
increased understanding of scientific issues of common<BR>concern. Individual
awards are likely to be in the range of £10,000 - £30,<BR>000 and unlikely to
exceed £50,000.<BR><BR>The next closing date for applications is 18 May 2007.

Biotechnology YES 2007. This innovative scheme<BR>aims to raise participants'
business awareness and highlight the process of<BR>commercialisation of
bioscience research. Participants compete in teams to<BR>develop a
hypothetical business idea with the help of expert mentors from<BR>the fields
of biotech, finance and intellectual property. Workshops are
held<BR>throughout the UK and feed into a national final where the prizes
include<BR>£1000 for the winning team.<BR><BR>The competition is free of

Studentships for UJCC-NCAS Summer School on Climate
Modelling<BR><BR>Applications are opened for the first UJCC-NCAS Summer
School on Climate<BR>Modelling. This first school, originated within the
UK-Japan Climate<BR>Collaboration (UJCC), is intended primarily for UK (funded
by any of the<BR>Research Councils) and Japanese students, who will be fully
funded on a<BR>competitive basis. The School targets students (advanced Ph.D.
and/or<BR>post-docs) in natural sciences who have an interest in becoming
experts in<BR>climate modelling, acquiring the know-how needed for designing
and operating<BR>modern climate models and analysing their results.<BR><BR>The
UJCC-NCAS Summer School is sponsored by the UK Foreign Office
Global<BR>Opportunities Fund (GOF), the UK-HiGEM programme and the National
Centre for<BR>Atmospheric Science (NCAS), and will be held at Cambridge
University 10-21<BR>September within the Department of Applied Mathematics and
Theoretical<BR>Physics.<BR><BR>Closing date for applications is 31 May 2007.

"perspectives" - a poster session for science communication<BR><BR>Scientists
are increasingly expected to communicate social and ethical<BR>aspects of
their research. However, there are few opportunities for<BR>early-career
researchers to learn how to discuss these issues in an<BR>accessible
manner.<BR><BR>"perspectives", an RCUK-sponsored poster session with a
difference, gives<BR>you experience in sharing your research with a
non-specialist audience and<BR>provides training in producing and presenting a
poster. Finalists present<BR>their posters at the BA Festival of
Science, where prizes are awarded by a<BR>panel of expert
judges.<BR><BR>"perspectives" is open to postgraduate and postdoctoral
researchers funded<BR>by the UK research councils. Application deadline is
