The meeting will be hosted by Giuseppe Ristagno, University of Milan, and Italian Resuscitation Council. In the mornings of the 16th-18th of May, meetings of the Consortium, the Work Groups, and the Management Committee will be held, in parallel to a 3-day training school for junior scientists. In the afternoons, scientific presentations will be given (the final program will be announced soon). The preliminary program can be found below, and when you register, you have the option to also propose a presentation that you want to give during the afternoon program. For this please provide a short abstract of 250-300 words. Proposals that are submitted no later than April 14th 2023 will be judged by the Organizing Committee for possible inclusion in the final program.

We look forward to welcoming you at the lovely Lago di Garda!

Travel:

The airport of Milano Malpensa, the largest in the Milan area, has two terminals that offer many intercontinental connections, on top of numerous domestic and international routes. The airport is well connected with the Lombard capital: the journey by car takes about an hour along the A8 motorway (Milano-Laghi, Varese direction, Busto Arsizio-Malpensa junction). Moreover, the Malpensa Express rail link connects the international hub with the town.

The Milano Linate airport, named after Enrico Forlanini, is a first-rate city airport. Urban bus line no. 73 (Via Gonzaga/Duomo, underground lines M1, M3) connects the airport of Milan Linate to the city of Milan. Moreover, private shuttle buses connect the airport to the city’s Central Railway Station (Stazione Centrale), the exhibition centres of Fiera Milano City and Rho, and Malpensa.

The International Airport of Orio al Serio is the third airport of Milan. Located close to Bergamo, it is well connected with the centre of Milan, which is about an hour away. Moreover, buses run every 10 minutes connecting the Orio al Serio airport to the Central Station of Bergamo, and vice versa.

We have a certain number of places (up to ~60) for which we can award a reimbursement within COST according to the rules and regulations outlined below. The Daily allowance (DA) is set at €125 euro and the travel allowance at €250.

  • The reimbursement of incurred expenses for accommodation, meals, and short distance travel (defined as less or equal to 100 km one way) is paid as one lump-sum amount known as daily allowance. No invoices for accommodation, meals, and short distance travel are therefore required.

In order to see their claim being reimbursed participants to an Action event shall:

  • Have an e-COST profile at https://e-services.cost.eu/ including bank details;
  • Be eligible to receive financial support (as will be determined upon registration by the PARQ Grant holder manager, in line with the e-COST rules);
  • Have received an e-COST invitation to the meeting / training school and have accepted it within 2 weeks from receiving it;
  • Sign the attendance list on each day they attend the Action event;
  • Submit via e-COST a completed Online Travel Reimbursement Request (OTRR) as soon as possible and not later than 15 calendar days after the end date of the Action event;
  • Upload legible copies of all invoices/receipts and relevant supporting documents onto e-COST
  • Choose the most economical means of transportation;
  • Not receive double funding, as it is not permitted. Therefore, the participants shall declare via e-COST when submitting their Online Travel Reimbursement Request (OTRR) that they will not receive a reimbursement or any allowance from a third party to support their attendance at the approved COST activity for which they are submitting a claim. In case a participant is partially funded by another source of funding, this amount shall be deducted from the participant’s claim.
  • The actual number of days of attendance to the approved activity (as confirmed against participant’s signature on the official attendance list for each day of the event that they attend);
  • The participant may arrive on the day before the activity commences and/or leave one day after the activity finishes. The DA is then calculated accordingly; The participant’s travel start- and end dates and hours;
  • The participant shall provide other supporting documents (e.g. accommodation or meal invoices) attesting their travel dates so that the daily allowance can be correctly calculated, only in the cases when: (i) the participant travels by car, (ii) cannot provide proof of the travelling date and hours or (iii) does not submit long distance travel reimbursement request.
