I. Scientific writing and presentation courseScientific writing and presentation skills: on a continuous basis, there will be several opportunities for perfecting scientific writing and presentation skills through participation in local group meetings and Journal Clubs, as well as in network-wide meetings and other international conferences. Training in manuscript and proposal writing is also part of the local individual research-driven training activity as the ESRs will be expected to write-up their own results for publication and future fellowship applications with direct guidance by their supervisors. The partner organizations, LifeGlimmer, Yellow Research and SB Science management will be major contributors in this task. Programme: H2020-EU.1.3.1. - Topic(s): MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN |

Visits and secondments of ESRsSpecialized, task-centred learning during secondments: All Network partners have defined 15 individual projects facilitating task-centered learning, which has been shown to be most effective. Each project and its scientific training activities are outlined below. For each ESR the secondment organization was chosen on the basis of scientific relevance, cohesion of distinct experimental approaches and complementarities in addressing the ESR’s individual project aims. Note the interdisciplinarity of most projects and the tight interactions between several groups that ensure the high level training of each ESR. The high prevalence of ESRs to the network is indicative of the high training priorities of this Network and the willingness of all PIs from both the academic and non-academic sector to directly mentoring the proposed tasks. Details of secondments are listed in Table 4.1d for each individual research project. Programme: H2020-EU.1.3.1. - Topic(s): MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN |

Final Network ConferenceOrganization of a final Network Conference: A widely publicized international meeting will be organized in Greece to coincide with the closing Network Meeting to sum up and promote the research goals attained by the Network and to place those in a broader scientific perspective by inviting other scientists from all areas related to the themes of the network to participate in the conference. The meeting will be open to 100-150 external attendees. Funding will be covered by registration fees of external attendees and by sponsorship. For this event 25 senior scientists will be invited to present their work and share with the Chromatin3D participants their knowledge and experience. Moreover the ESRs will actively participate in the organisation of the meeting, inviting external speakers and thus getting an ideal opportunity to have a direct contact for their future Postdoctoral training. Additional members of other networks (many of the Chromatin3D PIs already participate in other FP7-ITN networks) will be invited to participate to this meeting. During this concluding meeting, ESRs will present their completed research. A final open forum session will allow ESRs and the PIs to discuss the training programme. ESRs will be encouraged to suggest improvements of the programme. PIs will discuss the possibility of future collaborations. Programme: H2020-EU.1.3.1. - Topic(s): MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN |

Business and entrepreneurship courseBusiness and entrepreneurship training addresses issues on intellectual property, entrepreneurship and business development. This mandatory course will be aimed at getting the ESRs to think about how novel ideas can be commercialized. It will involve a staged series of exercises, which move from vision and idea to definition of work to be done through protecting intellectual property, raising finance, marketing and sales. The whole series will engage the ESRs by getting them to work in teams and develop a business-plan guided by the training team. Case studies will be delivered by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The business-training course will be held in Milan (IIT) and will cover topics such as patent law applied to smart materials, drug discovery and diagnostics, public health and entrepreneurship. The CEOs of all non-academic participants (Diagenode, UD-GenoMed, Mosaiques, ACS, Exiqon, LifeGlimmer, YR, SB Science Management) will contribute on commercialization.

1st Chromatin3D Summer SchoolSummer schools will take place during year 2 and 4 devoted to develop specific issues in depth. The Chromatin3D PIs and invited scientists worldwide will discuss research on relevant topics. These will be mandatory for all Chromatin3D ESRs. Summer schools will be ~4 days long at a resort to isolate the group and facilitate interactions and will precede the relevant annual Chromatin3D meetings. In this way, the ESRs will be in a superb position to take full advantage and digest the excellent possibilities that an international meeting offers. Each summer school will have the participation of at least half of the Chromatin3D PIs plus 3-7 invited speakers. At least one of such invitees will focus on ethical issues and at least one on academia-industry interactions and biotech/pharma work. The first summer school will be coordinated by FORTH in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute in the island of Crete. The University of Edinburgh in collaboration with IDIBELL will coordinate the second summer school. Both summer schools will be open to 20 additional participants. Chromatin3D’s ESRs will be actively involved in organising both schools participating in the advertisement of the events and selecting external speakers.
