The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) has a strong tradition in promoting interdisciplinary basic research in molecular biology. With 83 laboratories in eight Research Units at five facilities in four European countries, working on topics ranging from structural to organismal biology and from computational and biophysics to chemical biology, the EMBL is one of the top research institutions in the world. The EMBL Interdisciplinary PostDoc (EIPOD) fellowship programme makes use of this unique international, multidisciplinary research environment to broaden the interdisciplinary education and expertise of Experienced Researchers (ERs). Once a year, EMBL invites young researchers to propose interdisciplinary projects of their choice to EMBL faculty of their preference. Candidates are asked to contact at least two group leaders, preferably from different research units, to discuss and shape projects that bring together separate scientific disciplines or transfer techniques to new usage. Scientific excellence of applicants and interdisciplinarity of the proposed work are evaluated by an independent selection committee composed of EMBL Heads of Unit and other external internationally renowned scientists in a two-step procedure, involving a pre-selection followed by an interview meeting. Besides high-level interdisciplinary research training, EIPODs receive additional vocational training, special career development support and can join the EMBL double mentorship scheme. An active alumni network facilitates reintegration into national research environments. Fellowships last three years. The COFUND contribution will be used to maintain our current number of fellowships of 20 per year and to introduce additional social benefits for the EIPODs in accordance with the European Charter for Researchers. We aim to maintain these improved standards beyond the COFUND period.

With this proposal we are seeking an economical support from the European Union to implement an International Programme of Postdoctoral Research Training to enhance the international dimension of the fellows operating in the Dulbecco Telethon Institute (DTI) and to provide an excellent training to experienced researchers in the field of Research in the Biomedical Sciences that will likely contribute to the development of Research Careers in the European Research Area. The DTI is a multi-disciplinary Institution whose laboratories have different locations throughout Italy. Inspired at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in the USA, the DTI program is highly competitive. Notably, this Institution is composed of incoming or reintegrated individuals that have trained abroad. The DTI was itself established following the rules of transnational mobility required for this COFUND scheme and therefore the DTI PIs are very sensitive to the importance of transnational mobility. PIs are recognized leaders in developmental biology, epigenetics, structural or computational biology, mitochondrial, neurodegenerative, neuromuscular and kidney diseases applied to genetic diseases. Thus, DTI is a multidisciplinary reservoir of original knowledge. We plan to recruit highly skilled incoming and reintegrating experienced researchers thorugh a gender-balanced, transparent and meritocratic selection process, in agreement with the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers of the European Charter for Researchers. We have designed a structure of management that will ensure an efficient management of the Programme and will provide an exceptional package of employment benefits to experienced scientists recruited under the Programme. Finally, we plan to contribute to a life-long-training of recruited postdocs by creating the most favourable conditions to foster their scientific productivity, and by providing deepening and broadening of knowledge training.

Objectives The objective of the Andalucía Talent Hub Fellowship Programme is to support the training of experienced researchers and help them in their career development with opportunities of mobility and complete freedom of choice of their research field, while they remain connected to the ERA through work contracts with the research institutions aggregated in Campuses of International Excellence based in Andalucía. The results of their research should lead to significant improvements in technology transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship; and desirably, in the productivity and sustainable development of Europe through the modernisation of its SMEs and traditional manufacturing industries, an issue of particular relevance in Andalucía, Spain, whose Regional Government will co-fund this project. Implementation A new fellowship programme launched by the Regional Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Science (CEIC in its initials in Spanish) will contribute to the achievement of these goals. The CEIC is the government department in charge of both R+D+i and economic policies, which allows for a better connection between research and industry in an effort to translate knowledge into valuable products and services. The CEIC currently manages pre-doctoral fellowships in regional and foreign institutions. Within this framework, it has now designed a new international mobility programme addressed to postdoctoral candidates engaged in outgoing and incoming mobility schemes. We are aiming at 50 excellent candidates that will be selected through two open calls, in a merit-based competition founded on international peer review. They will be offered a competitive economic incentive and excellent working conditions for two years. Relevance This program becomes relevant as a stimulus for attracting and retaining the best talent and as a contribution to the strengthening of the human potential in research and technology in Europe, and specifically in Andalucía.

AMAROUT-II is a fellowship programme designed to support transnational mobility (incoming and reintegration) of experienced researchers, to give them the opportunity to deepen and widen their skills and to provide them with attractive working conditions. Specifically, over 4 years, AMAROUT-II will offer 152 fellowships to experienced researchers to develop their individual research projects within the IMDEA network. The IMDEA network is a network of international research centres promoted by the Madrid Regional Government with the goal of turning Madrid into one of the top knowledge generation regions in Europe. It is comprised of a number of specialised, independent research centres, each of them working in a scientific area of high potential economic impact, namely: Water, Food, Social Sciences, Energy, Materials, Nanoscience, Networks, and Software. AMAROUT-II will significantly increase the number of transnational fellowships awarded by IMDEA to experienced researchers. AMAROUT-II is a continuation of AMAROUT, a highly successful COFUND programme. The increase in the number of fellowships in AMAROUT-II with respect to AMAROUT reflects (i) the increase in financial, physical, and human resources available within the IMDEA network, and (ii) the success of the AMAROUT programme in attracting top-level researchers to Madrid. Under no circumstances will AMAROUT fellows be considered elegible for AMAROUT-II fellowships. In conclusion, AMAROUT-II is a fellowship programme that will contribute to the further development and consolidation of the European Research Area (ERA), in alignment with the overall strategy PEOPLE programme, by stimulating people to take up the profession of researcher, by encouraging European researchers to stay in Europe, and by attracting to Europe, and in particular, to the Madrid region, the best researchers from around the world.

The ERA-Net Industrial Biotechnology 2 (ERA-IB-2) will increase Europe’s competitiveness in Industrial Biotechnology (IB) by providing a platform for long-lasting collaboration and cooperation between national/regional programme owners and managers of a large number of European countries, including new Member States and Associated /ICP Countries. The key mission of ERA-IB-2 is to contribute to a European knowledge-based bio-economy (KBBE) by reducing fragmentation in IB R&D funding and by fostering the exchange of knowledge across borders, and to increase cost-effectiveness by pooling resources and optimising mechanisms for joint calls. The KBBE is the tool to achieving sustainable economic growth in Europe, as it will lead to sustainable, environmentally sound industrial processes and products which substitute fossil resources with bio-based (renewable) raw materials. Industrial Biotechnology will be one of the key technologies of this KBBE, and ERA-IB-2 will ensure Europe makes full use of her potential by identifying IB-related R&D needs through stakeholder dialogue and responding to these needs with coordinated, joint actions (joint calls). These calls will lead to greater integration of IB R&D actors and activities, and will also improve access to finance and stimulate industry participation – and thus industry investment – in the lead market of bio-based products. As a consequence, the limited resources of each country will be used more efficiently. ERA-IB-2 builds on the success of the FP6 project “ERA-IB” and develops the network further, into a truly pan-European approach to IB R&D funding which should ultimately lead to a self-sustained network. ERA-IB-2 will also align with other initiatives in the area and e.g. support the developing JPIs by presenting to them the view of the national/regional programmes on IB topics.

The activities of consumer groups and animal protectionists and the effects of large-scale sanitary crises have increased the awareness that animal production is more than just an industry. Farm animal welfare is now clearly an important issue for people across Europe and there is clear demand for higher animal welfare standards. Exotic or emerging infectious threats are ever present and their potential environmental consequences are a growing concern. Endemic and production diseases are often overlooked, although they exert the maximum trouble to animal welfare. The disease threats to the livestock industry have increased steadily as a result of intensification of livestock production, globalisation, evolving pathogens and climate change. Building on the experience and achievements of the previous ERA-Net EMIDA, the Animal Health and Welfare ERA-Net (ANIHWA) aims to increase cooperation and coordination of national research programmes on animal health and welfare of farm animals, including fish and bees. The cooperation and coordination among the partners will be deepened by systematic exchange of information and mapping of national research activities and facilities, gap analysis and preparation of a dedicated strategic research agenda, thorough assessment of the funding mechanisms with increased number of joint calls and finally strategic activities aimed at a sustainable development and extension of the network.

Forest research in the Mediterranean region is currently handicapped by its fragmentation, its limited means, and occasional outdating and isolation. In addition, the low benefits that Mediterranean forests provide to forest-based industries--compared to other European forests--make it difficult to attract interest and funds from the private sector. For this reason, new ways to overcome this situation must be implemented through research partnerships, networking, capacity building, higher education programmes, knowledge transfer and lifelong learning. Such activities should take advantage of existing initiatives like the Forest Based Sector Technology Platform (FTP), the Mediterranean Regional Office of the European Forest Institute (EFIMED) and the Mediterranean Forest Research Agenda (MFRA) developed jointly by the FTP and EFIMED. Mediterranean forest ecosystems provide multiple goods and services that are crucial to the socioeconomic development of the Mediterranean region’s rural areas as well as to the welfare of its urban populations. Advancing scientific knowledge and fostering innovation is essential, then, to ensure the sustainable management of Mediterranean forests and to build a knowledge-based bio-economy in the region. The countries of the Mediterranean basin, as well as those of other Mediterranean Climate Areas, face similar challenges regarding the sustainability of forest ecosystems and the delivery of crucial goods and services that they provide in a context of rapid global changes. Therefore, it is of critical importance to reinforce scientific cooperation on Mediterranean forests through a transnational EU-Mediterranean ERA-NET, which also builds new transcontinental cooperation among Mediterranean Climate Areas (California, Australia, South Africa, Chile) in order to reduce fragmentation and maximise the impact of research activities.

The sarcomere is the structural unit of striated muscle tissues where thick and thin filaments cooperate to achieve muscle contraction. Recently it is becoming increasingly clear that sarcomeres have in addition to muscle contraction also important signaling functions: Stretch and strain sensing signalosomes are assembled by the giant muscle proteins titin and nebulin, that in turn are embedded into the sarcomere. Thereby, titin and nebuliun with dual structural scaffold and biosensing functions intricately connect the sarcomere to muscle remodelling. Molecular progress on titin- and nebulin based sarcomeric signalosomes has been accelerated during recent years, and the next step require is a functional understanding regarding how titin and nebulin and associated signaling complexes generate biochemical signals, and how these signals in turn, control muscle trophicity and remodelling. This network addresses this issue by bringing together teams leading in titin and nebulin muscle biology from America, Japan, and the US. Each team will contribute specific resources to study titin- and nebulin-based muscle remodelling, including transgenic animal models, compounds from high-throughput screens, and intricate myofibril mechanics. Importantly, SARCOSI will provide the European researchers resources that are otherwise not available. While the participants have collaborated and published together occassionally in the past, the SARCOSI network will establish long-term strategic EU transcontinental partnerships by staff exhanges and joint mentoring of thesis and postdoctoral projects. The exchange of staff will enhance the transfer of technologies and models between participating laboratories. By working close together and sharing resources, progress will be achieved much faster than working separately in the clinically important field of pathological muscle remodelling that contributes to both chronic heart failure and to skeletal muscle sarcopenia
