N1 - Funding Information:
EC funding is available under a variety of different programs, each with its own “funding modality”. It requires a certain amount of persistence to wade through the Eurospeak, for example, to learn the difference between “milestones” and “deliverables”, in order to complete an application form for EC funding, but a successful application can be a great stimulus to collaborative research between laboratories in different countries. The first European project in DNA repair funded in 1973 was supported by the Euratom radiation protection program and involved just three laboratories. Euratom has funded research in repair and responses to ionizing radiation damage continuously since that time. A currently funded 10 million Euro “integrated project” now involves seven DNA repair labs and a further 20 laboratories investigating epigenetic and carcinogenic effects of radiation.
Funding Information:
The meeting organizers are indebted to the EC Integrated Project 512113 for major support of the 2006 meeting, to EC Research Training Network 503618 on “DNA Repair and Human Health” and to Euratom RISC-RAD Integrated Project 508842 on “DNA damage responses, genomic instability and radiation-induced cancer” for funding the attendance of 16 young scientists at the meeting, and to other sponsors who contributed funds to support the meeting. M.G. acknowledges Kathy Meek for writing assistance.

N2 - A comprehensive meeting on biological responses to DNA damage organized by Alan Lehmann, Deborah Barnes, Wouter Ferro, Robert Fuchs, Jan Hoeijmakers, Roland Kanaar, Leon Mullenders and Bert van Zeeland, was convened at Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, from April 2 to 7, 2006. This article summarizes information presented by speakers at the seven plenary sessions. Poster sessions with organized discussions constituted a fundamental aspect of the meeting-as did a marvelous evening of musical entertainment by a talented group of conferees.
