The ISIDORe project proposes to fund Research & Development into preparedness and responsiveness, by giving scientific communities, free-of-charge transnational access (TNA)
to the full extent of our state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge services, advanced equipment and technologies, made available through our catalog of services.
Research call on “Large scale analysis of omics data for drug-target finding in neurodegenerative diseases"
This transnational call invites proposals for ambitious, innovative, multi-disciplinary
and multi-national collaborative research projects
that seek to improve the understanding of the complex and multifactorial pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases by applying multi-OMICs and Big data approaches to generate useful information for the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and drug discovery of neurodegenerative diseases.
Call for proposals for Mechanisms of Resilience and Vulnerability to Environmental Challenges in Mental Health.
The aim of the call is to facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address critical translational questions to improve our knowledge concerning neurobiological mechanisms involved in resilience or vulnerability to environmental challenges in mental health.
Proposals should aim to address unmet needs in the AMR diagnostics and surveillance sectors beyond the current state of the art, by focusing on one of the topics
of the call:
• Topics 1: To develop novel, or improve existing, diagnostics, including point of care diagnostics, that can rule out antimicrobial use or help identify the most effective antimicrobial treatment.
• Topics 2: To develop or improve existing strategies, technologies or methods, or data use strategies to support One Health AMR surveillance.
MSCA Staff Exchanges promote innovative international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation through exchanging staff and sharing knowledge and ideas at all stages of the innovation chain. The scheme fosters a shared culture of research and innovation that welcomes and rewards creativity and entrepreneurship and helps turn ideas into innovative products, services or processes. It is open to research, technical, administrative, and managerial staff supporting R&I activities.
