  1. PROGRESS SINCE LAST MEETING • TRAINING • 2nd Training Challenge • 3rd Training Challenge • Paper about the Training Challenge experience • Summer school in BMI • Conversion of SoA reports into training materials • MOBILITY • - Mobility programme (Mobility Funding Mechanism) • - Mobility Brokerage Service

  2. INFOBIOMED TRAINING CHALLENGE Second edition: 29th of May to 2nd of June in Les Avellanes Monastery (Lleida). • New features of the 2nd Edition: • Specific session on multidisciplinary team working •  Successful and will be repeated in 3rd edition • Drop of the competition component •  Participants had too little stress. Some competition is necessary • Improvement of the resources available: internet connections / one computer per person • Successful, but too many resources leads to dispersion (checking emails, etc.)

  3. The Best The Worst What should change - Learning things about other people and specialities. - Biology is not scary for me anymore. - The interdisciplinary approach. - Team work, meeting new people. - Knowledge from the cross-disciplinary work. - Location - Maybe tutors should help in the first and second day to find approaches to the case study. - The case studies focus mainly in biology problems. - People are not really aware of each one’s speciality. Better, more developed presentations would help. - The competition atmosphere. - Not all expertises are equally used and relevant. - Communication difficulties inside the team. INFOBIOMED TRAINING CHALLENGE Results of the satisfaction survey • - Overall satisfaction with the Training Challenge (1 to 5 scale ): 4.2 • Methodology of the Training Challenge (1-5 scale / ineffective-effective): • a) Focus on team work: 4,00 • b) Cross-disciplinary approach: 3,67 • c) Number of participants: 3,89 • d) Number of tutors: 4,22

  8. SUMMER SCHOOL IN BMI (2-8 July) • The European Summer School in Biomedical Informatics was held in Hungary. • Joint initiative of the Networks of Excellence Biopattern, Semantic Mining and INFOBIOMED. • The event gathered 70 scientists, between senior and students, and allowed for very fruitful discussion at the scientific and strategic level.

  9. CONVERSION OF SoA IN TRAINING MATERIALS • FORTH has proposed to follow a Wiki approach.

  10. MOBILITY FUNDING MECHANISM • The MFM aims to incentivate relatively long exchanges among consortium members (1-3 months). • Open to external organisations since January 2006. In this case, the funding will go to the INFOBIOMED partner (whether it is the host or the sender). • Exchanges during 2006:

  11. MOBILITY FUNDING MECHANISM • Status of exchanges funded. Done in 2005 (4) Done in 2006 (3) Related to Training Challenge (6)

  12. MOBILITY BROKERAGE SERVICE • Dissemination efforts: • Published in our website. • Announced to eHealth NoEs. • New offers & demands • Paper in MIE 2006.
