‘AnEUploidy' is the acronym of an Integrated Project (IP) funded by the European Commission
within its Sixth Framework Programme under the thematic area ‘Life sciences, genomics and
biotechnology for health'. This four years long project aims to contribute to the understanding of the
molecular basis and pathogenic mechanisms of aneuploidies (see http://www.aneuploidy.eu). It is
coordinated by Stylianos E. Antonarakis from the University of Geneva Medical School, Switzerland
and groups the multidisciplinary skills of 18 European and Israeli research groups.

With the aim of furthering the primary objectives of this project, the members of this consortium plan
to organise twice during its lifetime an international workshop. The second of these AnEUploidy
workshops will be held in Split, Croatia, September 16-19, 2010. It will also include 14
eminent invited speakers, outside the consortium. It should allow the members of the aneuploidy/
CNV community to share views, progress, and ideas. It will also include a half day lay language
presentations to Down syndrome associations, health specialists and parents.
