The European Research Council, on 22 April, announced the winners of its 2020 Advanced Grants competition. The funding, worth in total €507 million, will go to 209 leading researchers across Europe. Their work is set to provide new insights into many subjects, such as the links between obesity and pancreatic cancer, threats from wildlife viruses, brain-inspired neural network computer chips, and new ways for architects to design the buildings of...

In2PrimateBrains proposes a highly competitive training-through-research programme dedicated to the study of neuronal intra and inter-areal communication in non-human primate (NHP) brains. The Training Network consists of fifteen individual scientific projects, with extensive collaborations between consortium institutions. It is currently recruting PhD candidates for each project. Use the links below to find out more information.  Projects ESR 1...

NIPU-EJD (Non-Isocyanate Polyurethanes) is a European Joint Doctorate in “Synthesis, Characterization, Structure and Properties of Novel Non-Isocyanate Polyurethanes”. The project is formed by a consortium of 15 international research-performing institutions, from both the academic and non-academic sectors. This consortium is collaborating in the achievement of common scientific/technological objectives and the creation of an innovative doctoral...

Greenedge is a Marie Skłodowska Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN). Its chief goal is to promote, design and implement  machine learning based computing systems for the mobile edge that are highly energy efficient. For this, a research and training program has been carefully developed covering multi-disciplinary topics spanning from machine learning to renewable energy resources. The host organisation appoints each eligible researcher under...

The aim of the Ulam Programme is to increase the internationalisation of Polish institutions of science and higher education. The Programme will allow both recognised and promising scientists who hold at least a doctoral degree, to visit Poland for 6 to 24 months in order to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish entities and to participate in their scientific activities, primarily research projects and didactics. The Programme will allow...

The Commission is mobilising €123 million from Horizon Europe, the new EU research and innovation programme, for urgent research into coronavirus variants. This first emergency funding under Horizon Europe adds to a range of EU-funded research and innovation actionsto fight the coronavirus and contributes to the Commission's overall action to prevent, mitigate and respond to the impact of coronavirus variants, in line with the new European bio-...

There are 15 open doctoral researcher positions and three postdoctoral researcher positions in experimental physics, theoretical physics, physical chemistry, and mathematics within the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1432. Most of them are located at the University of Konstanz (UKN), a few at our SFB partners at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (GAUG).  We look forward to receiving your ...

The BioInspireSensing project is a trans-national training network inaugurated to train PhD students, in investigating, building, and producing a new generation of bioinspired implantable sensors of pressure, temperature and acidity. New devices will be made of complex hybrid materials, composed of natural molecules and synthetic biopolymers, with the additional properties of being fully biocompatible and bioresorbable, unlike most of existing...

The Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) wishes to attract talented Postdoc students to the Luminy campus. To do so, CENTURI will fund up to 5 Postdoc positions to start in December 2021. Postdocs will work in an interdisciplinary life science environment, and have backgrounds in any of the following fields: cell or developmental biology, immunology, neurobiology, biophysics, theoretical physics, computer science, bioinformatics, applied...

As Horizon Europe gears up, we take a closer look at the international dimension and what stronger cooperation means for mobile researchers who take the plunge. Despite its name, Horizon Europe (HE) has a decidedly international flavour that extends way beyond the European continent. Running from 2021 to 2027 and with a budget of €95.5 billion – including €5.4 billion for the Next Generation of the EU ‘Recovery Fund’ – HE is the EU’s main...
