Coordination Funds

协调项目的一个非常重要的目标是组织和促进联盟所有主要研究者和参与科学家的定期年度会议和定期交流。在这个项目中，我们建立了一个研究数据管理系统和一个ExCarBon中央数据存储（kumm - box）。在这方面，成功地建立和维持了ExCarBon主页，以便对外和内部介绍研究联盟及其活动，并不断更新。在第一个资助期内成功地完成了促进两性平等措施和对初级研究人员的早期职业支持，这仍然是本扩展项目的重要目标。我们希望进一步促进子项目之间的个人交流，并组织博士生和博士后与外部演讲者的研讨会。在第一个资助期，博士后组织了两次有外部专家参加的暑期学校，所有成员都参加了。在第一个资助期成功实现墨卡托奖学金的目标后，我们计划在第二个资助期延长Brian Johnstone教授的墨卡托奖学金。在第一个资助期结束时的最后一次国际研讨会的背景下，我们组织了一次杰出的ExCarBon研讨会，同时在雷根斯堡举行了德国基质生物学学会（DGMB）年会。我们计划在第二个资助期结束时再次举办最后一次研讨会，并希望邀请国内外关注骨关节炎的杰出科学家进行研究报告。

A highly important goal of the coordination project is the organization and promotion of regular annual meetings and regular communication of all prinicpal investigators and participating scientists of the consortium. Within this project, we have established a research data management system and an ExCarBon central data store (KUM-Box). In this context the establishment and maintenance of the ExCarBon home page for external and internal presentation of the research consortium and its activities is implemented successfully and is constantly updated. Promotion of gender equality measures and early career support of junior researchers were successfully accomplished in the first funding period and they remain important aims for this extension project. We want to further foster exchange of personal between subprojects and organize workshops for Ph.D. students and PostDocs with external speakers. In the first funding period, the PostDocs have organized two summer schools with external experts, which were attended by all members of the consortium. After having successfully achieved the goals of the Mercator fellowship during the first funding period, we plan to extend the Mercator fellowship of Prof. Dr. Brian Johnstone also during the 2nd funding period. In the context of a final international symposium at the end of the first funding period we organized an outstanding ExCarBon symposium together with the annual meeting of the German Society of Matrix Biology (DGMB) in Regensburg. We plan again a final symposium at the end of the second funding period and want to invite outstanding national and international scientists with focus on osteoarthritis for presentation of their research.
