Fantastic initiative, and a real pleasure to be part of it. Hearing about the experiences of other centres across the globe makes clear how important but also how incredibly fragile the whole field is: most centres lack robust infrastructure support and investment, making it difficult to run and maintain activities and, especially, to build and secure the next generation(s) of scholars in the area. For example, for any PhD student we would like to support at the Centre for the Study of Philanthropy & Public Good, we need to find and secure a total funding of around £75,000-£120,000. Thereafter, to fund a single postdoctoral position one is looking at a minimum of £50,000 per annum (including National Insurance, pension, in costs, etc.) that need to be raised. Then, in the absence of any permanent positions in the area over here, all that investment, time, support, and the expertise that has been built over that period, currently often do not even benefit the Scottish (and at times European) philanthropy research field as early career colleagues are faced with an infinitesimally small number of national and international opportunities that might arise but, more likely than not, do not, leading to exits and brain drain from the field in general. So, assuming that one considers the field and its contributions to be important, there is some real work to be done about making it more sustainable in general, but also more attractive and accessible for younger researchers... Just some of the many issues that will need to be explored as part of our forthcoming workshop series “Together for Good: crafting Scotland’s philanthropic journey” - https://lnkd.in/e5tXgmZR

Why might four of MVA's colleagues be in Germany when MVA is a Danish-Swedish organization? By now you probably know that it is very important for us as cluster organization to support and facilitate cross-border life science collaborations in #MediconValley - and one of these, the #HALRIC project, involves not only Sweden and Denmark, but also Norway and Germany. So we are very actively involved in the project's second conference, which happens to take place in Hamburg today ✅ But there is more to it! This particular Scandinavian-German consortium also helps us think forward to the opening of the #FehmarnBelt fixed link. That new connection will bring the life science sector of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein much closer to Medicon Valley, the strongest life science cluster in the EU, enabling strong synergies. Therefore in this consortium we not only collaborate with research institutes, but also with regional governments and life science organizations - together developing future strengths of this combined region 💪 Mette Bach Dyremose, Maria Sundh, Claus Højlund, Stephan Bouman HALRIC Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium City of Hamburg, Klaus von Lepel, Sarah Marshall-Bensch Region Skåne, Eskil Mårtensson, Marie-Louise Lövgren Region Hovedstaden, Jakob Øster Life Science Nord, Sarah Niemann, Oliver Schacht Medicon Village, Petter Magnusson Hartman

Send me your special session ideas for the 2025 NRSM!

A key meeting fostering collaboration between the regional R&D centers and the Volcani Institute occurred. The event was organized by Dr. Sigal Brown-Miyara, the scientific coordinator of the regional R&D centers, along with all the scientific directors of the regional R&D centers: Dr. Carmit Ziv, Dr. Alon Ben-Gal, Prof. Murad Ghanim, Dr. Haggai Yassur, Prof. Arnon Dag, Prof. Nirit Bernstein, Dr. Itay MAOZ, Dr. Shachar Baram, and Prof. Ilan Halachmi. The meeting included presentations on all eight regional R&D centers, showcasing joint research and potential opportunities for future collaboration.

This is going to be an outstanding virtual conference, with inspiring expert speakers on executive function and motivation, topics that address chronic absenteeism, behavioral challenges and neurodiversity. #schools #executivefunction #neurodivergentlearners #studentabsenteeism #studentsupport
