Become a part of the NECOBELAC communityJoining the NECOBELAC Community The development of a NECOBELAC Community is one of the main objectives of this Project, gathering the progressive involvement of an increasing number of Public Health institutions and editors, librarians, authors and information specialists in Europe, Latin American and Caribbean countries. We invite you to join the NECOBELAC Community either by contacting the NECOBELAC Project at: info@necobelac.eu or one of the European or Latin American Project Partners, in order to attend the planned NECOBELAC Training Courses for Trainers (T1) or NECOBELAC Training Courses at local level (T2).
In 2010 and 2011 NECOBELAC envisages 8 T1 courses: 4 in Europe end 4 in Latin American and Caribbean countries. NECOBELAC promotes connections and exchanges of knowledge and skills among professionals who attend the Training courses T1 in European and Latin American countries and perform training courses at local level (T2). Moreover, NECOBELAC promotes connections and exchanges between European and Latin American Institutions interested to start new collaborations on the Project topics as well as scientific collaborations on public health and related disciplines. In this regard, NECOBELAC's specific initiative consists in covering the publication fees to Latin American and European collaborating researchers (co-authors) for publishing scientific papers in open access journals (in order to disseminate awareness about this strategic collaborative vision, NECOBELAC also supports the publishing co-authors to comment on this concern). The awareness of being part of a community, initiated by the NECOBELAC project, will also promote collaborations among the European and Latin American stakeholders involved in the NECOBELAC activities on the basis of common scientific interests leading to an increasing production of publications by European and Latin American co-authors on public health issues as well as on library and information sciences and scientific writing. |
