Abstract:
The ITQB Science Funding Office is now settled and ready to start working as a proximity team to support ITQB groups in all steps of a funding application, from when an opportunity arises to the establishment of a funding contract for an approved grant. This presentation will focus the planned activities for this recently renewed office, and how it will interact with the ITQB community. All welcome!
