- News on the ESF-Eurocores Call in Synthetic Biology, EuroSYNBIO: The ESF-Eurocores Call for project proposals was a success. The ESF received 24 project descriptions in the first round and invited 16 groups to submit a full proposal. These proposals are currently under revision. Decisions can be expected later this year. http://www.esf.org/activities/eurocores/programmes/eurosynbio/call-for-proposals.html
