Environmental ChemOinformatic (ECO) Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) is a collaborative action of 7 institutions from 5 EU countries (Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Italy). The primary objective of this ITN is to contribute to the education of environmental chemo-informaticians who will receive an advanced training in both environmental sciences and computational in silico methods. The fellows of the network are expected to apply their knowledge for the implementation of REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) in particular with respect to the replacement, refinement and reduction of animal tests by alternative (in silico and in vitro) methods.
ECO provides 11 positions (Early Stage Researchers in EU terminology) leading towards PhD and 1 postdoctoral position (Experienced Researcher in EU terminology, 1 year duration) starting before September 2010. The selection of fellows will be done on March 31st – April 1st. Place and details of the meeting (travel and participation costs will be covered by the ECO) will be communicated to the selected participants in March. In order to be qualified for this meeting, please, submit your application before March 1st.
The detailed descriptions of the project is available at the web site http://www.eco-itn.eu/.

The Virtual Institute for Chemometrics and Industrial Metrology, VICIM BV is a virtual organisation that promotes cost-effective chemical measurement practices by making use of modern chemometric approaches and develops procedures for adequate assessment of the quality of methods and measurement results.
VICIM brings together experts from different European institutes with knowledge in a wide-range of chemometric competencies applied in the fields of pharmaceuticals industry, food & drink industry, petrochemical industry and environmental issues.
VICIM now offers services in four main lines of activities:
• Research
• Training - European schools
• e-Learning (view our e-learning activities)
• Website services
