Birgit Arnholdt-Schmitt gave a talk at the 'Instituto Português De Oncologia de Lisboa, Centro de Investigação de Patologia Molecular' with the title:
'Stress-induced cell reprogramming - Presentation of a global research approach and its implication for across-organism and system studies'
The group of Dr. Cristina João and the EU Marie Curie Chair initiated an informal collaboration with a follow-up meeting in Évora.

The Indian scientist got the high marks of 5.0 for his Curricum Vitae from the FCT panel in Biotechnology and will transfer complementing knowledge to the Chair group by a new focus on metabolism research related to the AOX competence focus. He will get himself a new training in multidisciplinary research approaches for functional marker development to support molecular plant breeding.

Prof. Dr. Kambiz Mashayekhi, Associate Professor at the Horticulture Department Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, GORGAN, IRAN, will stay for a 1-year sabbatical at the Chair. He will be involved in the running research projects at the EU Marie Curie Chair in plant biotechnology/molecular biology related to functional marker development for plant breeding on stable plant production. Prof. Kambiz will start his sabbatical from the 19th of October.'

Alexandre Ferreira will present a poster with the title: 'Desenvolvimento de um marcador funcional para o estudo da biodiversidade de populações selvagens de Hypericum perforatum L.' in the conference:
'II Colóquio Nacional de Plantas Aromáticas e Medicinais, Braga', Portugal___________________________________________________________________________
Marie Curie Chair members submitted 5 presentations of new research results to ICPMB2007 in Nara , Japan

The Chair got financial support from the industry for Moisés Geraldes Xavier! The company Tyco Electronics was kindly giving a rapid support to asure the salary of Moisés during two months at the end of 2006. Thus Tyco-Electronics gave a good exemple of a company, which feels the social responsibility for the region and for the growing of science. This support especially emphazises also the high importance of recognizing the role of young scientists and the University of Évora for the development of the region and Portugal as part of the European Research Area.

Our proposal for an official cooperation between the Marie Curie Chair/ICAM/University of Évora and the Federal Centre for Breeding Research on Cultivated Plants (BAZ) was accepted with highest points. It includes also participation of Dr. Bettina Linke of the Humboldt-University in Berlin . The Cooperation is based on a running collaboration with Dr. Thomas Nothnagel (BAZ) und Dr. Petra Straka (BAZ) within the frame of the Marie Curie Chair project and will now officially start in January 2007.
