NAMEN DELAVNICE

Članstvo Slovenije v EU ponuja podjetjem in ustanovam možnosti za pridobivanje nepovratnih sredstev iz različnih programov EU. Razpisujejo se centralizirani programi, za katere se razpisi izvajajo na nivoju Evropske komisije (prijava v Bruslju) in decentralizirane programe – strukturne sklade, za katere se razpisi izvajajo na državnem oz. regionalnem nivoju. Slovenija je upravičena črpati sredstva iz Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj, Evropskega socialnega sklada in Kohezijskega sklada.
Za Slovenijo kot celoto kot tudi za podjetja in javne ustanove je finančna perspektiva 2007-2013 velik izziv in hkrati velika priložnost. Za projekte, s katerimi namerava Slovenja doseči stopnjo razvoja razvitejših članic EU, je namenjeno okrog 4 mrd evrov sredstev; to pomeni, da je povprečni letni nivo sredstev znašal več kot 500 mio evrov. Ko govorimo o nepovratnih sredstvih EU, je treba poudariti, da je dejanski obseg črpanja pogojen z absorpcijsko sposobnostjo naše države. Ta pa je odvisna od predložitve ustreznega števil kakovostnih projektov.
Strokovna delavnica je nadaljevanje niza uspešnih strokovnih srečanj, ki smo jih organizirali na temo pridobivanja sredstev EU. Na srečanju bi z vami radi podelili izkušnje NLB in njenih strank, ki priložnosti iz finančnih pobud EU že koristijo. Hkrati je srečanje lepa priložnost za razmišljanje o finančnih rešitvah, s katerimi lahko izkoristite priložnosti za rast in razvoj vašega podjetja, saj obdobje 2007-2013 prinaša tudi novo finančno perspektivo EU na področju kohezijske politike.

IPOKRATES: Follow-up of Premature Infants

Date: November 24 – 26, 2009; starts at 09:00 a.m.
Place: Athens, Greece

» Program v PDF obliki

Objectives

This seminar will deal with basic mechanisms of brain injury and brain plasticity after such injury in preterm and term neonates. The early consequences will be presented in detail, especially regarding the neonatal convulsions and risk to develop future postneonatal epilepsy. The long term outcome will be presented with special concern on quality of life in survivors of neonatal intensive care and function in adulthood. Different ethical issues will also be presented, especially regarding withholding and withdrawing treatment as well as the question how far we still can go with preterm labour.
