Jos van der Meer, former Vice-President of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Science, has been chosen as the President-elect of the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC).
EASAC is formed by the national science academies of the EU Member States to enable them to collaborate with each other in giving advice to European policy-makers, providing a means for the collective voice of European science to be heard.
The heads of state or government of EU Member States received a letter today from more than forty Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners urging them to raise the EU?s research and innovation budget from EUR 50 billion to EUR 80 billion, as previously planned. The letter and background information can be found on the right.
Researchers have unravelled the genome of our most familiar fungus: the button mushroom. Consequently, it is now clear why the button mushroom feels more at home on humic-rich breeding grounds than other fungi. 
An international consortium of scientific institutes led by the Groningen-based ERIBA, in cooperation with Hubrecht Institute and MIT, has been invited to set up a new institute for research into stem cells, based in the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (SkTech) close to Moscow. 
Alexander van Oudenaarden has been appointed Director of the Hubrecht Institute as of 1 September. He replaces Hans Clevers, who resigned when he succeeded Robbert Dijkgraaf as President of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in June.
An international consortium of researchers discovered a direct link between gene equipment, its activation and infection strategy, and lifestyle of plant pathogenic Colletotrichum fungi.
