Coordination Funds

要全面了解上皮细胞间连接如何发挥信号枢纽的作用，需要参与小组在几个层面上的密切互动和沟通：1.通过组织研讨会、研讨会以及国内/国际会议和学员交流等方式，科学交流最新的发展、发现和假设。2.通过组织讲习班、获取关键协议和数据、提供细胞和小鼠等模型生物以及其他实验工具，交流技术专门知识和使用模型系统。3.协调一般活动和网络交流，并对这些一般活动进行财务管理，特别是管理初级科学家参加不同优先方案活动的旅费。在第一个供资期间，在第一个供资期间，除合作小组之间的实验室交流外，定期务虚会、国家/国际会议以及实验室交流的财政和后勤支助对有效推进项目和想法具有最高的优先地位。此外，建立和更新网站一直是最高人民委员会成员和对最不发达国家问题研究专题感兴趣的外部同事之间交流的重要平台。在这一经验的基础上，我们将在第二个供资期间集中精力进一步发展这些工具。

To comprehensively understand how epithelial intercellular junctions function as signaling hubs requires a close interaction and communication among participating groups at several levels: 1. Scientific exchange of latest developments, findings and hypotheses through organization e.g. of workshops, seminars as well as national/international meetings and exchange of trainees. 2. Exchange of technical expertise as well as use of model systems through organization of workshops, access to key protocols and data, provision of cells and model organisms such as mice as well as additional experimental tools. 3. Coordination of general activities and network exchange as well as financial management of these general activities, in particular administration of travel costs of junior scientists to attend the different priority programme activities.During the first funding period, is has turned out that financial and logistic support of regular retreats, national/international meetings in addition to lab exchanges among collaborating groups has the highest priority for efficiently advancing projects and ideas. Further, building and updating the website has been important as an exchange platform among SPP members and external colleagues interested into the research topics of the SPP. Based on this experience, we will focus on further developing these instruments during the second funding period.
