EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS

Scope:

proposals are sought for cutting-edge high-risk / high-impact interdisciplinary research with all of the following essential characteristics ("FET gatekeepers"):

• Radical vision: the project must address a clear and radical vision, enabled by a new technology concept that challenges current paradigms. In particular, research to advance on the roadmap of a well-established technological paradigm, even if high-risk, will not be funded.
• Breakthrough technological target: the project must target a novel and ambitious science-to-technology breakthrough as a first proof of concept for its vision. In particular, blue-sky exploratory research without a clear technological objective will not be funded.
• Ambitious interdisciplinary research for achieving the technological breakthrough and that opens up new areas of investigation. In particular, projects with only low-risk incremental research, even if interdisciplinary, will not be funded.

This Call for Expression of Interest (CEoI) is addressed to organisations interested in  pathophysiological models of brain disease, in the fields of psychiatry or neurology.

The objective of this CEoI is to develop a specific, hypothesis-driven use case, by testing the validity of one or more original, promising, elaborated pathophysiological models of brain disease(s) using MIP-driven analysis of large-scale clinical data. These models shall incorporate knowledge from one or more of the following fields: systems biology and systems neuroscience; neuroinformatics; computational neuroscience; and any other relevant contributing field.

The requested budget must not exceed EUR 800,000 per proposal (core budget).

Deadline: 15/03/2018

Specific Challenge:

to promote excellent collaborative research and innovation on future and emerging technologies to secure and renew the basis for future European competitiveness and growth, and that will make a difference for society in the decades to come.

Scope:

Proposals for Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) should be driven by relevant actors in the research field and address only one of the following sub-topics:

a. FET Communication and Outreach

b. FET Innovation

c. FET Observatory
