Reminders for calls for ECS2025 symposia and ECS2026/2028 main meetings      

Call for ECS2025 symposia (formerly known as “workshops”). We would like to highlight the opportunity to our members to propose a focused ECS symposium in 2025. Symposia typically last about 3 days and focus on a specific topic and aspect of Ca2+ research.

The organizers have the freedom to propose any topic and establish a program with invited speakers, short talks selected from abstracts (preferably assigned to early career researchers) and poster sessions.

The ECS will directly sponsor the event (up to 4000 euro), whereby organizers should raise additional funds via funding agencies & sponsors.  Proposals for an ECS Symposium should be sent to [email protected] before February 14th 2024.

While nothing is yet carved in stone, there are plans to organize an ECS day at the Ion Channel Society meeting in Sete, France, typically early September 2025 and a joint symposium with the Signal Transduction Society in Weimar, Germany, typically November 2025. While final decisions for those events still need to be settled, we think it’s safe to avoid the September/November period in your proposal (as well as June 2025 given the FASEB meeting around that period).

Given these initiatives, the ECS Board aims to organize only 1 ECS workshop in 2025.

Call for the main international ECS meetings in 2026 and 2028: Furthermore, you can find the joint call for organizing the main ECS meetings in 2026 and 2028!

A separate PDF document provides further background information and recommendations for your proposal. We look forward to proposals from our ECS members.

We ask to send your candidacy letters to [email protected] before February 14th 2024. The aim is to have a decision for both ECS2026 and ECS2028 meetings in late spring 2024 and announcement at ECS2024 meeting in Cambridge.

ECS Board news: Open call for 3 new Board members

At the last GA in Cork, Ireland, after more than a decade of service to the ECS, Jacek Kuźnicki (Warsaw, Poland), Marc Moreau (Toulouse, France) and former ECS President Catherine Leclerc (Toulouse, France) decided to put their Board position vacant and to enable other researchers to join the Board. We are very grateful to their longstanding contribution to the Society.

To fill these 3 open spots in ECS Board, we decided to launch an open call for new Board members, who wish to contribute to the future and the further development of the European Calcium Society. We therefore ask our members to nominate an ECS member or propose yourself before October 31st 2022.

Who should be nominated: We are looking for an active ECS member of the Ca2+ community, who has been contributing to be active in Ca2+ research in general and ECS events in particular with future active engagement in the ECS workings and ECS events. Board members will have the opportunity to shape the future of the ECS and to further develop the ECS by participating in Board meetings and will be asked to provide support to ECS activities & events.  ECS members can nominate another ECS member or can nominate themselves.

The Board will apply the following principles to consider new Board members in addition to the contribution to ECS and Ca2+ research:         
* we aim that the Board composition reflects the full diversity in scientific topics in Ca2+ research, including Ca2+-binding proteins, a topic that is currently underrepresented in the Board. We thus strongly encourage nominations for researchers covering this topic.        
* we very much value geographic diversity in the Board within Europe and beyond. This means that also nominations outside Europe are possible. In this respect, ECS statutory rules restrict the number of ECS Board members / country to 2. In practice, this means that for this call ECS members from Belgium and Germany are not eligible as nominees for the ECS Board. We apologize to any researcher located in Belgium or Germany for not being able to join the Board at this moment.   
* we strongly believe in equity, diversity & inclusion. For instance, the current ECS Board composition consists of 2 women and 6 men. We therefore strongly encourage nominations of women active in the Ca2+ field.

Nominations including a short motivation letter should be sent to [email protected] before October 31st 2022.

ECS2022 meeting info

We are very excited to announce that the program of ECS2022 meeting (21-25 August, 2022; Cork, Ireland) has now been finalized. The organizing team led by John Mackrill, session chairs and Geert Bultynck, the scientific chair, were really impressed by the high quality of abstracts and the exciting science that will be presented at the meeting. Hence, the session chairs had a very challenging task to select the short talks, but they now have made their final selections. All short talk awardees have been contacted by the session chairs and the names/titles will very soon appear in the online program. All other abstracts have been accepted as poster. The selection for the Flash Symposium is in progress and the selected authors will be contacted by the chair Amalia Dolga.

It’s also important to stress that two early career researchers still will be selected by the jECS Board, after the jECS Symposium. So, there are still 2 short talks options at the main meeting.

Finally, the jECS Board is also busy finalizing the program of the jECS symposium (to held on 20 August, 2022). Their selections will soon be communicated to the selected authors.

Not yet registered? It’s still possible to join us: https://www.ucc.ie/en/ecs2022/ for more information!

PASIFIC

The ECS wishes to inform you about the PASIFIC program

The PASIFIC program offers excellent conditions for scientists with a PhD who would like to conduct research in Poland for two years. Potential applicants can choose any institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. This includes the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology where Prof. Kuźnicki's laboratory of Neurodegeneration is located. (www.IIMCB.gov.pl).
The program is dedicated to all type of research, but the calcium field is very popular in Poland, so several "Calcium people" could be eligible to get such a fellowship. Prof. Kuźnicki is of course highly interested in the applicant(s) who would like to consider coming to his lab.
The stay can be used as a postdoctoral training or the initiation of the independent career in Poland. During those two years the grantee can apply for additional grants from the National Science Centre and other funding institutions in Poland.
A first call opens March 15 (deadline June 30, 2021)
A second call opens September 15 (deadline December 30, 2021)

IN MEMORIAM ANNETTE DRAEGER (1959-2020)

The ECS mourns the loss of Annette Draeger, a highly visible scientist in the annexin field and a popular and very active member of our society who served for many years as a member of the ECS Scientific Board and also as Vice President.

Annette studied Medicine in Aachen and Hamburg with stints in Lausanne and Melbourne. Early-on she decided to pursue a scientific career and consequently chose postdoctoral stays at the MRC-LMB in Cambridge, the Institute of Pathology in Munich and the Austrian Academy of Science Institute of Molecular Biology in Salzburg. Driven by her stay in Vic Small’s group in Salzburg Annette developed a keen interest in membranes and actin cytoskeleton dynamics, topics that should remain at her heart ever since. In 1995 Annette moved on to become head of the Department of Cell Biology at the Institute of Anatomy of the University of Bern, where she continued and expanded her work on the membrane-associated actin cytoskeleton but also studied membrane dynamics in more general terms. This led to a number of seminal discoveries including the role of annexins as intracellular Calcium sensors that are recruited to raft-like membrane microdomains in response to Ca2+ elevation in a graded manner and then function in the cell-autonomous process of membrane wound resealing. Importantly, Annette’s work together with Eduard Babiychuk on cellular responses to bacterial membrane pore-forming toxins led to the discovery that engineered liposomes can sequester such toxins and thereby have a protective potential in severe invasive infections.

Annette will be remembered not only for her scientific contributions but also for her many other talents. She was an inspiring and open-minded leader who attracted talented and motivated young scientists and she taught her coworkers to develop new ideas off the beaten path. Her approach to science was always driven by curiosity and interest in a deeper understanding and not by following the popular trend. In the true meaning of the word she was a selfless and generous altruist always caring for her coworkers.

Annette died too young. She will be missed as a scientist, a mentor, a colleague and as a dear friend.

IN MEMORIAM DAVID MACLENNAN (1937-2020)

The calcium field lost another giant this year. David MacLennan, one of the outstanding biomedical scientists of Canada and the World, passed away on June 23rd, 2020. David was well known for his seminal work on the regulation of calcium and its implications to human health. He has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of the mechanism of Ca2+ transport by SERCA, the ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel, and the storage of Ca2+ in the SR by calsequestrin and calreticulin.

David was born on July 3rd, 1937 in Swan River, Manitoba, Canada and completed his MSc and PhD in Biology with Harry Beevers at Purdue. He received his post-doctoral training with David Green at the University of Wisconsin and in 1969 David was recruited to Canada to the Banting and Best Department of Medical Research at the University of Toronto. David was, amongst other honors, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a Fellow of the Royal Society (London), a Foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, an Officer of the Order of Canada and a recipient of the prestigious Gairdner Award (1991). He mentored a large network of outstanding scientists worldwide.

We lost a friend, a great scientist, and our mentor.

IN MEMORIAM SIR MICHAEL BERRIDGE (1938-2020)

The European Calcium Society is extremely sad to have to communicate the peaceful passing away this night at home of one of the most important members of the calcium community, Sir Michael Berridge.

Mike was not only an extraordinary scientist, who will always be remembered for his groundbreaking work on IP3 and IP3-induced Ca2+ release, and a great communicator but also a true gentleman and a strong supporter of the European Calcium Society, of which he was honorary member. Moreover, he will be remembered for supportive attitude towards the junior members of the calcium community and his friendly but always very insightful and perceptive questions and comments at scientific meetings, including at the ECS meetings he nearly always attended.

He will deeply be missed by all but never forgotten.
