New edition of the FP7 guide
The EU Commission has issued an updated version of the Guide to Financial Issues relating to Indirect Actions of the Seventh Framework Programme. The supplemented and revised German translation of the guide was released on 6 June 2010 and is now available. The aim of the translation is to provide applicants, administrators, project coordinators and accountants with assistance on financial questions within the scope of FP7 projects. The translation is provided free of charge to all those working at Helmholtz research centres.

Helmholtz symposium on the effects of climate change
On 2 December the Helmholtz Association in Brussels will hold a Helmholtz symposium on the global and regional effects of climate change. The event is designed to show that coordinated action at the regional and global levels is necessary to gain an understanding of the complex processes of climate change and to develop appropriate adaptive responses. High-ranking representatives of the European Commission, the EU Parliament and European research institutes, together with political representatives and a range of scientists, are expected to attend the symposium, which is entitled “Managing Climate Change – From Regional to Global Scale.” Registrations are still being accepted.
