3) A requeriment del Dr. Albert Ferrer, us enviem la següent informaciķ per reclamar que no reduexin els funds per la Framework 7.

Dear Colleague,

The collapse of the discussions on the EU budget has been highlighted in media. What receives less attention is the fact that preparatory discussions on a new budget were pointing towards a very major  reduction on the doubling of funds for Framework 7 that had been requested by the Commission. Included in this funding were increases for the Marie Curie programme, expansion of the standard Framework activities and, significantly, the funding of the European Research Council (ERC).

All of this is now at risk and the voices of scientists need to be heard. As one effort to ensure that the politicians get a message from
the scientific community, we, supported by ELSF, (European Life Sciences Forum) (http://www.elsf.org) have opened an online petition on the EMBO website.

If you are in agreement with the petition, sign it at
http://www.embo.org/petition/petition.php

Please ensure that all of the scientists in your institute are aware of it and encourage them also to sign. This is a case where numbers and a rapid reaction are very important! Please note also that ELSO,   (European Life Scientists Organization) have prepared a letter to be  sent to Ministers of Research to underline the importance of the ERC.

This is your opportunity to influence the future of research so I suggest that you act on these initiatives now.
