BIG event at the Centre for Life 19th-21st July
The BIG Event is a three day get-together every summer to share skills and experiences, develop professional links and keep up-to-date with the STEM engagement field. This is the place to hone your skills and recharge your professional batteries, pick up great ideas and show off your talents to peers.
It provides an unmissable opportunity to squeeze the skills and ideas out of all the STEM engagement people you can in a short space of time. It’s like power juice for STEM communicators.

IGM scientist organises an information day for secondary school students in Italy
Michele Giunta and Manar Aoun, Marie Curie fellows at Mitochondrial Research Group (UK) and FINCB (Italy), have organised a dissemination event addressed to students of the secondary school “I.S.I.S.S. ‘CANTONI‘” for presenting Marie Curie fellows opportunities, introducing the EU FP7 MEET project and underlying the importance of fundraising activities in the scientific field.
Michele, a young Italian researcher based on Newcastle Upon Tyne University (UK), and Manar, a Lebanese reasearcher who worked at Fondazione IRCCS Carlo Besta in Milan during her MEET project’s training period, organised this event in order to share experiences, opportunities and knowledge around mitochondrial diseases.
Dr Juliane Mueller and Beccie Brennan, also from the IGM at Newcastle University, will presented at the event.
The event, which will be held in Treviglio (Italy) on April 9th, is included in the MEETers’ activities funded by European Commission in order to spread information about mitochondrial diseases and novel treatment avenues.
