INDUCT was present in the May 2017 Alzheimer Europe newsletter with an article on Ethics and dementia by Sébastien Libert (ESR 2) as part of his secondment in Alzheimer Europe, and one on the project by Sophie Gaber (ESR 3) and Sarah Wallcook (ESR 4) which is recruiting participants until December 2017 (more information here).

As training manager of INDUCT, I am responsible for the overall coordination and organization of the individual and network-wide training of our 15 ESRs. My main task is the organization of five INDUCT Summer and Winter Schools. Together with the local and management team, we identify needs and interests among the ESRs, compose a varied program for the week including training sessions, project meetings and social and networking events, invite academic and non-academic expert speakers, organize practical matters, and afterwards we evaluate the event, write a report, and try to incorporate all suggestions in our future training events.
As the INDUCT project manager, most of my tasks have been ‘behind the scenes’. I have been responsible for submitting scientific deliverables, writing reports for the funder, negotiating deadlines and updating the EU Portal. A project manager functions as a middleman between the EC Project Officer, beneficiaries, partners and ESRs.
