October 1-3 Copenhagen, DenmarkThe vision of a universal clinical terminology, covering a broad range of health-related domains and meeting the needs of all health professionals has stimulated numerous health informatics research activities in the last two decades.
The training courses will detail and describe the objectives, instruments, rationale and calendar for the adoption of FP7 and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP). The aim is to help would-be participants prepare successful proposals.
The workshop will provide a practical approach and tools to help formalise applications and design budgets. The full implications of the contract with the Commission will be discussed, and attendees will also be offered tips on how best to manage their partnerships and optimise their initiatives.
The course is aimed at preparing those interested in participating in an FP7 project. It will provide an overview of the structure, content and instruments of the research programme, as well strategies for successful participation.
