Dear HHU-SymPore-Team, Just a friendly reminder to submit your monthly timesheets if you haven’t done so already — including any from previous months that might have slipped through the cracks. If timesheets aren’t submitted, unfortunately, I’ll have to escalate and inform your supervisor as we need them for the next financial report to the ERC. Time sheets must be signed at the end of each month by both the employee and the supervisor. During an audit, times of sick leave and vacation may be cross-checked with HR, and these must match the hours recorded in the timesheet. Please fill in national holidays, sick leave, vacation days and your working hours. Once you’ve filled it out and gotten it signed by both you and your PI, you can leave the printout on my desk. Let me know if you run into any issues or need a hand, Ill be happy to help (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ Have a sunny weekend ☀ Best wishes, Alena __________________________________ Alena Pauels (she/her) Project Coordinator SymPore Working days: Tuesday – Friday Heinrich–Heine–Universität Düsseldorf Institute for Molecular Physiology Universitätsstraße 1 Building: 26.14 Floor 00 Room 27 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany Email: alena.pauels(a)hhu.de <mailto:alena.pauels@hhu.de> Phone +49 211 81–14623

Joint meeting HHU SymPore cancelled
by Alena Pauels 20 May '25

20 May '25

Dear all, Today’s joint meeting has been cancelled due to a low number of expected participants. While a few team members notified me of their absence, several did not communicate in advance, which made it impossible to plan effectively. Given the continued lack of availability and communication, it’s unlikely that this series of meetings will continue as originally intended. We will reassess whether a different format or approach makes more sense moving forward. If there are important points you were planning to raise or discuss, please feel free to reach out directly. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Alena __________________________________ Alena Pauels (she/her) Project Coordinator SymPore Working days: Tuesday – Friday Heinrich–Heine–Universität Düsseldorf Institute for Molecular Physiology Universitätsstraße 1 Building: 26.14 Floor 00 Room 27 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany Email: alena.pauels(a)hhu.de <mailto:alena.pauels@hhu.de> Phone +49 211 81–14623

Monthly Team Meeting for Team HHU SymPore – Starting Tuesday, April 15
by Alena Pauels 19 May '25

19 May '25

Dear Team SymPore HHU, I hope this email finds you well. We are organizing a new monthly team meeting, which will take place every month on the Tuesday following the first regular ERC Sympore meeting, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. The goal of this meeting is to foster greater collaboration and exchange between our teams so that we work more closely together moving forward. The dates for the meetings in 2025 are: 15.04. 13.05. 10.06. 08.07. 19.08. 16.09. 14.10. 11.11. 09.12. For our first meeting, we will gather in room 26.24.U1.014, as the seminar room is blocked due to the master module. The first meeting, scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, will focus on how we can conceptually approach this collaboration. Please come prepared to share a brief (1-minute) update on the current status of your research without slides. Additionally, consider what you would like to gain from these meetings and what kind of support would be helpful to you. I encourage you to discuss these points with your supervisors beforehand and think about any challenges or issues you're facing that could be addressed in our meetings. This will be a space for open discussion and the exchange of ideas. Looking forward to our first meeting and to seeing how we can work together more effectively! To fuel our brains, I’ll bring some snacks. :) Best regards, Alena P.S.: I used the emailist for the timesheets so that I dont forget someone, but of course the student helpers are not required to come to the meeting. __________________________________ Alena Pauels (she/her) Project Coordinator SymPore Working days: Tuesday – Friday Heinrich–Heine–Universität Düsseldorf Institute for Molecular Physiology Universitätsstraße 1 Building: 26.14 Floor 00 Room 27 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany Email: alena.pauels(a)hhu.de <mailto:alena.pauels@hhu.de> Phone +49 211 81–14623

Reminder SymPore Timesheets
by Alena Pauels 09 May '25

09 May '25

Dear HHU-SymPore-Team, Just a friendly (but firm!) reminder to submit your monthly timesheets if you haven’t done so already — including any from previous months that might have slipped through the cracks. This isn’t just internal housekeeping — it’s mandatory under EU regulations, so it’s non-negotiable. I know it’s not the most glamorous part of our jobs, but it’s essential. If timesheets aren’t submitted, unfortunately, I’ll have to escalate and inform your supervisor as we need them for the next financial report to the ERC. Time sheets must be signed at the end of each month by both the employee and the supervisor. During an audit, times of sick leave and vacation may be cross-checked with HR, and these must match the hours recorded in the timesheet. Please fill in national holidays, sick leave, vacation days and your working hours. Once you’ve filled it out and gotten it signed by both you and your PI, you can leave the printout on my desk. So please take a moment to double-check and submit your hours. Let’s keep things compliant and smooth for everyone. Let me know if you run into any issues or need a hand, Ill be happy to help (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ Have a sunny weekend ☀ Best wishes, Alena __________________________________ Alena Pauels (she/her) Project Coordinator SymPore Working days: Tuesday – Friday Heinrich–Heine–Universität Düsseldorf Institute for Molecular Physiology Universitätsstraße 1 Building: 26.14 Floor 00 Room 27 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany Email: alena.pauels(a)hhu.de <mailto:alena.pauels@hhu.de> Phone +49 211 81–14623
