&lt;p&gt;L’INIZIATIVA&lt;br /&gt;
I mass-media si occupano sempre più spesso del mondo scientifico universitario, presentandone sia i successi (importanti) che le problematiche (purtroppo tante).&lt;br /&gt;
La cronaca si focalizza principalmente sui temi più gettonati: carenza di fondi e vuoti legislativi, cervelli in fuga e riforme incomplete, precari mal pagati e specializzandi non retribuiti.&lt;br /&gt;
Ma è tutto qui il panorama della Ricerca ?&lt;br /&gt;
Cosa significa oggi in concreto per un giovane affacciarsi al mondo scientifico italiano ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From May 7Th to 10th , 2009 the meeting “Microbial stress: from Molecules to System” will take place in Semmering, Austria.&lt;br /&gt;
The meeting wants to highlight the most recent developments in all aspects of microbial stress responses and the organizers have an excellent list of top international speakers in the programme. Rather than run sessions based on different stresses or organisms, they have deliberately decided to have three themes in the meeting:&lt;br /&gt;
1.	how organisms detect stress and turn the detenction into a response&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>European project LifeCompetence</title>
 <link>http://www.spidera.eu/european-project-lifecompetence</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The European project LifeCompetence was presented at the Bio 2008 in San Diago by COM. In this online platform, you can view all projects funded in the FP6 program with a categorisation according to instruments and with an overview of the organisations participating in these projects. This could be a good source for a search for results to be exploited but also for potential partners and expertise for new projects. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can access the website under:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifecompetence.eu/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.lifecompetence.eu/&quot;&gt;http://www.lifecompetence.eu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;
Hicham&lt;/p&gt;
