INTERFACE - European Earth System and Climate Modelling School (E2ECMS)
1-11 June 2012
Kos, Greece
Application Deadline: 15th February 2012
The European Network for Earth System modelling (ENES) launches its first European Earth System and Climate Modelling School (E2SCMS) with support from the ISENES FP7 project (http://is.enes.org). School participants will attend a series of lectures and discussions alongside practical modelling and data processing exercises, which will include interpretation and presentation of simulation results. Attendance of international experts in Earth system and climate modelling will ensure an advanced and stimulating learning environment for participants. The course schedule, lecture list and details of participating senior scientists will become available as they are known on the E2SCMS web pages, http://schools.enes.org, from January 16, 2012. A first version of the agenda can be found here.
Note: Specific requirements for participants can be found on the below website.

Marie Curie Conference at Euroscience Open Forum
10-11 July 2012 (ESOF runs 11-15 July 2012)
Dublin, Ireland
Registration Deadline: As soon as possible - 'first come, first served' basis.
We would like to invite the Marie Curie fellows in your ITN project to attend the Marie Curie Actions satellite event at ESOF 2012. ESOF, the Euroscience Open Forum, is Europe's largest general science meeting and is held every two years. In 2012 the event will take place in Dublin.
The Marie Curie Conference, which takes place on July 10th and 11th 2012, will offer fellows special opportunities to broaden their career perspectives and further exploit their potential as Marie Curie Fellows. The conference will include training sessions on how to access EC funding including presentations on Horizon 2020; patenting and how to write successful grant proposals. The main theme of the 2012 conference is communicating research and there will also be a series of workshops on the various aspects of communications including social media networking and speaking confidently to a non-scientific audience. Participants will also play an active role through poster sessions and short presentations on their research.
All participants in this satellite meeting will be automatically registered to the ESOF conference (July 11th - 15th 2012). The joint participation fee of €340 covering both the Marie Curie satellite event and the main ESOF event can be charged to your Marie Curie contract in the flat rate cost categories (Category D/E/3). Any Marie Curie fellow wishing to attend should be allowed to participate to this event and the necessary budget made available to them. As with all other training events, the cost of participation should not be paid by the fellow. An 'early bird' reduction is available for those registering very quickly.
The conference provides important career development training and is a unique chance for the fellows to be trained in skills not usually offered by research institutes and which are nonetheless crucial for their career. It is a valuable opportunity to meet with other Marie Curie fellows they would not normally have the opportunity to meet. The fellows will also be able to meet with the staff of the Research Executive Agency who will be available to answer questions on their fellowship and to provide advice on future funding opportunities.
In order to prepare for the networking aspect of the project all fellows will be invited to prepare a poster explaining their research for non-scientific audience. This year the poster session will be electronic only and the posters will be available in advance to allow the attendees to identify the fellows they wish to network with. Therefore, all registered attendees will be invited to upload a poster before the end of May.

"Ocean Challenges in the 21st Century" - Challenger Conference for Marine Science 2012
3-6 September 2012
University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK
Abstract Deadline:26th March 2012
Early Registration Deadline: 31st July 2012
The Challenger Society for Marine Science is the premier learned society for marine scientists in the UK. The biennial conferences have a reputation for showcasing cutting edge marine science and technology, for promoting the next generation of marine scientists, and for creating a strong network of UK scientists and technologists. The 2012 conference will be no exception, with 100 talks, 150 posters, a contentious debate, public lecture, ice breaker session and conference dinner. We hope you will join us in Norwich to make the 15th Biennial Challenger Conference the best yet.

TERRABITES - Training School on Terrestrial Biosphere Modelling
8-10 February 2012
ESA-ESRIN, Meeting Room James Cook, Frascati, Italy
Application Deadline: 10th December 2011
The European TERRABITES network on the Terrestrial Biosphere in the Earth System (www.terrabites.net) invites applicants for its first Training School on Land Biosphere Modeling. The Training School will introduce the overall concepts and components of several different global vegetation models (CLM, LPJ, JSBACH, JULES, ORCHDEE) in parallel. The presentation of the models will proceed process-wise, so that similarities and dissimilarities of the different approaches and model formulations become apparent and can be discussed. Accordingly, the Training School not only addresses junior scientists in the field, but also experienced senior scientists interested in a comparative view on land biosphere modeling.

Royal Meteorological Society National Meeting - "Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions"
18th January 2012
Clore Lecture Theatre, Imperial College, London
Energy, water, carbon and other trace gases are constantly exchanged between the biosphere and the atmosphere with interactions and feedbacks on the local, regional and global scales. Significant progress is being made in observing, understanding and modelling ecosystems, the carbon cycle and their impacts with relevance for weather and climate change. This meeting will discuss latest research in the field and challenges for the future.
