The Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC), the Italian leading charity providing about 40% of all research funds invested in cancer research in Italy, proposes to award 60 fellowship-years for international mobility in two yearly calls for proposals. The calls will be published, executed, and concluded in the 4 years of the FELCARES duration. AIRC aims at increasing its international dimension by strengthening its current programme of Outgoing Fellowships and by introducing the new tool of Incoming and Re-integration Fellowships. To reach this goal, AIRC will: a)Increase the number of the international fellowship-year from 12 awarded in 2008 to 30 per year to be awarded in FELCARES; b)Increase its own budget committed per year; c)Increase the fellowship’ wages from the current average 30.279 Euro/year to an average 40.000 Euro/year. AIRC will take advantage of its well-established and transparent criteria and methods for the evaluation and selection of the applications, adapting them to the new proposed international dimension. In the new international calls, AIRC will address the following issues: Multidisciplinary and multisectorial approaches to cancer research;Attention to researchers from less-favoured countries in Europe and worldwide;Complementary skills training in the projects to be awarded;Special care to achieving the optimal gender balance in cancer research.The anticipated outcomes of the proposed international fellowship programme will coincide with the main objectives of ERA. Bringing its initiatives to a wider international level, AIRC will expand its worldwide contacts and will get in touch with other similar programmes in Europe. This will contribute to overcome the fragmentation of the many programmes that are currently implemented in a dispersive manner.Furthermore the addition of the new fellowship scheme will definitely increase the flow of competent researchers through Europe and will bring to a wide-opening of the ERA to the world.

The OPENGENE proposal of Estonian Genome Project, Tartu University arises directly from the institutional SWOT analysis and responds precisely to the objectives of the current call. The general objective of the proposal is opening the EGPUT research potential and biobank resources to ERA. To this end we have designed a set of coherent measures that in an interconnected manner contribute to the R&amp;D capacity and capability building of the EGPUT and by means of significant upgrading of the research infrastructure attract collaboration partners from other EU countries to achieve better utilization of the EGPUT biobank. We present a work plan that is structured coherently according to the five general measures of the call. The plan foresees recruitment of experienced researchers from the EU and beyond to launch two new research groups in the EGPUT covering fields of modern biomedicine that are underrepresented in Estonia. In this activity repatriating Estonian nationals are encouraged to apply. We further develop exchange of know-how and experience by building new and reinforcing established tight cooperation relations with leading European Research institutions. We plan to organize hands-on training courses / seminars in modern genetics and genEthics. We plan to invest significantly into increasing our visibility both in European R&amp;D community and local general public, using the most appropriate channels of communication in both cases. A transparent public discussion concerning bio-ethics rising public awareness in genetic and biomedicine research are integral to the public dissemination. As a specific measure undertaken to significantly increase the accessibility an quality of the EGPUT biobank infrastructure we plan to build a high-throughput genotyping and sequencing platform by acquisition of iScan system by Illumina.

The general theme of this research proposal involves random walks and percolation theory. The research proposal aims at exploring in depth the surprising links between on the one hand a class of problems directly pertaining to random walks (in particular related to disconnection, or the creation of large vacant components and separating interfaces), and on the other hand questions pertaining to a non-conventional model of percolation based on random interlacements. Traditional methods of percolation typically do not apply to this model. The present research program if successfull ought to uncover new paradigms and lead to the development of new methods.

The project foresees the synergic work of participants of various scientific profiles by improvement of scientific relationships, exchange of know-how and experience between the participating centres, including training in MS of Ph.D. students and/or post-doctoral researchers, to upgrade S&amp;amp;T research capacities of centres in MED countries dealing with waste treatment technologies both conventional, advanced and nanoscience based. The proposal includes one SME (Environmental Engineering) in order to give to the project a complementary and applied - business dimension. To be able to participate in the project on an equal-footing basis, the different technological developments of the groups should be balanced by reinforcement of MED countries research infrastructure and improvement of their human potential. This will be achieved by upgrading research equipment in the laboratories of less developed countries and by hiring new senior researchers in these groups. Thus, the transfer and exchange of know-how will be accelerated and the potential of the groups can be better exploited. This approach will prepare laboratories from MED countries to participate more efficiently in European projects. Moreover, it will enable MED countries to increase their contribution in the ERA, making them interesting partners to scientists from MS.

The ARCADE project is to be coordinated by the Institute of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (IOPC) which is part of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF) situated in the Convergent Region of Attiki in Greece. The key concept behind ARCADE is that, in order to strengthen the research profile of the IOPC and to enable its members to participate effectively in research activities at a Community level of excellence, certain measures need to be taken in order to reinforce the institute’s research capability in areas where it has recognised expertise. The ARCADE project, therefore, addresses specific objectives designed to have maximal impact on the IOPC’s research activities that focus on the design and synthesis of functional compounds and, more particularly, of bioactive compounds and materials. The key concept of the project is to build on the Institute’s existing expertise in the design, synthesis and analysis of new compounds with potential applications in medicinal chemistry, catalysis and materials science. To this end it is planned to use the opportunities provided by the REGPOT action for: - personnel exchanges with well-established partner groups in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, Switzerland and the UK to reinforce and transfer necessary know-how - the acquisition of new equipment and upgrade of existing infrastructure with the aim of providing state-of-the-art support for the IOPC’s research objectives and advancing, in particular, its capability in Mass Spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy - the recruitment of experienced researchers to fully exploit the newly acquired equipment and to provide added impetus to the IOPC’s research potential - the organisation of an international conference and a number of workshops in close collaboration with the heads of the partner groups, with topics related to core activities of the IOPC - the dissemination and the promotion of the objectives of the project to the wider public through a range of diverse activities. A well-defined management structure has been drawn up which involves the research staff of the IOPC in all of the activities planned. In addition, an International Advisory Board of three distinguished scientists has also been arranged to offer counsel and to make an independent assessment of the project.
