Invest in ME Research added an extra day to their international biomedical research events in 2018. The new event is provisionally titled 'Thinking the Future' and takes place in London on 29th May 2018 (prior to their two-day biomedical research into ME colloquium on 30th-31st May and one-day international conference on 1st June) and is for early career researchers.

ETA: to clarify that, whereas the IiME Research conference is a public (pre-paid ticket only) event, their colloquiums are closed workshops with participation by invitation only. For the Early Career Researchers Day, "all applications for participation will be considered by the committee responsible for planning the agenda, which will include existing young researchers."

"An Early Careers Researcher is defined an individual who is within a few years of the award of their PhD or equivalent professional training, or their first academic appointment.

This event will be open to postgraduate students and postdocs involved in biomedical research, and also medical students with an interest in biomedical research into ME.

It will provide an international forum where research into ME can be discussed, ideas can be generated and a network built to allow opportunities for those young or early career researchers who are already involved in research into ME, or involved in another research area which may be of relevance to understanding ME.

All applications for participation will be considered by the committee responsible for planning the agenda, which will include existing young researchers."

- Mar 18: Grant Award for biomedical research into ME - at Thinking the Future 2018: http://www.investinme.eu/thinkingthefuture.shtml#news

We are developing plans to create a grant for a project/projects developed by members of the Thinking the Future 2018 for ME network which meets for the first time in London.

The plan is to invite proposals from team members for a biomedical research project which could contribute to the charity's objectives and research strategy and which would enable two or more members to work together.
More details coming soon.
