covered by MEET). Curricula will be evaluated by the MEET Board composed by: Dr. Annamaria 

Porcelli (UNIBO), Dr. Valeria Tiranti ( BESTA), Dr. Barbara Kofler (SALK), Dr. Valerio Carelli 

(UNIBO).

Applicants for fellowships must submit their request together with CV, a reference letter and an 

abstract for posters to serena.paterlini2@unibo.it and to marialuisa.russo4@unibo.it .

Deadline for sending application: August 29, 2014 at 18.00 (Bruxelles Time)Course Venue and transportation:

The University Residential Centre of Bertinoro (www.ceub.it) is located 80 km away from Bologna 

International Airport (BLQ). Concerning your flight reservation, please consider that two shuttle 

buses will leave from Bologna airport to the Course Venue.

If you are interested in the shuttle bus from Bologna to the course venue, please specify in the field 

note of your registration on line which one you are interested in and your flight details (number and 

arrival time). Your confirmation is compulsory in order to get the service!
