Coordinated by INRA, AgreenSkills has as its strategic goal to reinforce the European leadership in agricultural science by promoting international mobility of researchers both in and out of Europe. By joining the efforts of Research and Higher Education Institutions involved in collaboration with European states, OECD nations and developing countries, AgreenSkills is designed to bring to researchers the widest possible choice of international mobility. To reach this goal, rather than increasing the number of fellowships, the objectives of AgreenSkills are to attract talents and boost high-potential scientists by providing attractive fellowships, increasing hosting capacity, improving application and selection processes, improving scientific mentoring, and enhancing career development. AgreenSkills will rely on the concept of individual mobility, meaning applicants will be able to freely choose their topic, their hosting structure as well as their supervisor. AgreenSkills will support in-coming and out-going mobility provided return takes place within one to two years, the period of time deemed necessary for scientific production, competences and skills sharing, and the establishment of long-lasting collaboration. AgreenSkills will enable talented scientists to identify the most suitable laboratories for their research project through prior resumé and project analyses. As reactivity and flexibility are key factors for the success of the programme, AgreenSkills will fully exploit the autonomy given to the Agreenium organisations, to only handle the preliminary stage aimed at connecting applying fellows and projects to suitable laboratories, the recruitment processes themselves being left to the different Agreenium members following their own rules.

TalentGalia is a strategic project for the Galicia region aiming a clear double purpose: increasing and supporting the trans-national mobility of experienced researchers, fostering a true European Research Area; and turning Galicia into one of the top knowledge generation regions in Europe. The Regional Ministry for Economy and Industry presents this proposal where 64 experienced researchers (70% very experienced) will be attracted to the regional R&D ecosystem to, under an individual driven mobility perspective, perform research activities, widen their research competencies through training and support and, to sum up, to develop their careers. The selection process will strictly follow the “European Charter for Researchers” and the “Code of conduct for the Recruitment of researches” and will be implemented through 7 panels made up of national and international scientific experts. The selected researchers will be offered an employment (fixed term full time) contract and an appealing working environment and conditions. The three Galician Universities and eight Research Centres will act as hosting institutions. All of them support (by signed letters) this proposal and are committed with the terms established for its implementation. The Regional Government of Galicia believes TalentGalia Programme is a long-term investment in order to a stay prosperous as region, becoming a world known centre for science and knowledge excellence in Europe and worldwide. This initiative is regarded by the regional government as key point to reach the top of the knowledge society.

The Tecnalia’s International Fellowships for Experienced Researchers (TIFER) Programme is a 4 year new programme under the Marie Curie Action (PEOPLE-COFUND) to foster and consolidate the European Research Area (ERA) by attracting talented researchers and developing their careers. The TIFER Programme has 2 mobility schemes. The incoming scheme will offer 61 fellowships for experienced researchers, to develop during an average of 23 month their freely proposed research projects with Tecnalia’s research teams and facilities. The out-going scheme will offer 24 fellowships of 1 year plus a return period of 6 months. There will be 3 international Calls for Researchers (2 in Year 1 and 1 in Year 2). The Selection Committee will have an adequate gender, origin, and background balance to ensure to applicants equal opportunities, including for resuming a research career after a break, and a transparent selection process. The size of Tecnalia (more than 200 doctors and around 1.650 employees), its multidisciplinarity, and the size of its 17 research units within 7 fields and several facilities, demonstrates sufficient critical mass to host researchers in a wide range of Scientific and Technological fields. As a reference of Tecnalia’s international activity, Tecnalia is actually involved in 169 FP7 projects (34 as leader). Since its creation Tecnalia is increasingly employing international researchers and currently employs 60 foreign researchers from 22 nationalities. The TIFER Programme will suppose an enormous boost for Tecnalia in its aim to become a reference research organization of the ERA.The TIFER Programme, with 61 new foreign researchers, will double the number of foreign researchers in only 3 years. Tecnalia is fully committed to further development of the TIFER programme after its first 4 years.

The M4HUMAN project is dedicated to enhancing two existing international fellowship programmes of the Gerda Henkel Foundation (GHF) by increasing the number of experienced fellows, improving the grant conditions and strengthening the trans-national mobility. One programme is in the field of historical humanities, the other one has a special focus on Islamic studies. During the M4HUMAN project calls will be published twice per fellowship programme to attract 64 experienced researchers in the field of historical humanities and 32 experienced researchers in the field of Islamic studies. The reason for selecting these two fellowship programmes for the M4HUMAN project is the high demand for fellowships in this area. The number of projects that can be awarded within the programmes’ total budget is low compared to the number of high-quality applications received, and thus, projects that obtained a very good evaluation score have to be rejected due to budgetary constraints. Thanks to the COFUND-programme applicants will have a better chance to benefit from the fellowship programmes. Due to the co-funding and thus the availability of a higher budget volume GHF will be able to significantly increase the number of fellows and improve the grant conditions. Additionally, GHF will be able to focus more on the career development of the fellows, offering complementary training courses and supporting fellows after a career break.

SMEs are more than ever a fresh topic raising many questions and expectations for Europe’s future. In this regard, the main concern remains the reinforcement of innovation in SMEs. This issue is taken into account through specific programmes and measures intending to transform the innovation challenge into new business opportunities: the Lisbon Strategy, the support programmes 2007-2013 and the Member States’ strategic plans. The Conference on SMEs, Research and Innovation will be based on these observations and will be held under Belgian Presidency, at the ideal period of re-designing of the FP8 and other major EU support programmes (Structural Funds, CIP,...). The overall purpose of the Conference will be: (1) To take stock of the current situation (the business reality in which SMEs operate, existing SME support measures and incentives for technological innovation, lack of support in areas such as service innovation etc.). The focus of the discussion would be on the creation of synergies between existing support measures at regional, national and European level. This forum will directly raise the awareness of participants towards current measures/instruments and economic opportunities open to them. (2) To prepare a comprehensive vision for future SME Research and Innovation policies. Research, innovation, and SMEs should be tightly linked elements shaping Europe’s future. The idea here is to look beyond the 2013 horizon when FP7 and CIP will be finished. Questions to address could include: how to develop research and innovation policies starting from the needs of SMEs?; what sort of research and innovation programmes best address the needs of SMEs?; what role for the MS / EU?; how to create the conditions and environment that will make SMEs more innovative? The resulting output of the Conference will consist in a strategy paper proposing short term and longer term initiatives, to be submitted to the Competitiveness Council.

The applicant is seeking funding to support research on late stage biomimetic syntheses of resorcylates from readily available non-aromatic precursors. A series of diketo-dioxinones will be synthesised using mild Claisen condensation reactions and converted into the reactive intermediates triacyl-ketenes by retro-Diels Alder reactions. These will be trapped with alcohols to directly provide the corresponding resorcylate esters and related macrocyclic lactones. These compounds are of considerable importance in that they occur in structurally complex natural products, which are active as anticancer agents, antibiotics, immunosuppressants or analgesics. Examples include aigialomycin D, radicicol, cruentaren A and mycophenolic acid. Late aromatisation avoids the severe problems associated with existing syntheses based on aromatic precursors. Our studies will allow for the development of very concise total syntheses of the biologically potent Hsp90 inhibitor radicicol and mitochondrial F-ATPase inhibitor cruentaren A. The methods will be amenable for the synthesis of libraries of synthetic natural product analogues in the quest for superior drugs to treat cancer. The novel ring opening, ring closing and crossed metathesis of cyclooctyne derivatives will be introduced and will simplify the route to cruentaren A. Resorcylate methodology will be extended to terpenoid-resorcylates, using a new decarboxylative allyl transfer process, which will greatly simplify routes to angelicoin A, cristatic acid, mycophenolic acid and hongoquercin B. Finally, both the aromatisation strategy and ring opening metathesis polymerisation of cyclooctyne derivatives will be applied in the synthesis of novel oligomers and polymers including polyfunctional polyesters and poly-ynes.

Since January 2011, the PI holds a faculty position at the Collège de France, this proposal will facilitate transferring and re-establishing her research program at IPG in Paris. The goal of the proposed research program is to investigate earth’s deep structure and dynamics using advanced seismological forward and inverse modeling techniques. The primary focus is on global and continental scale mantle structure, with a secondary focus on the earth’s core. The primary objective is to develop high resolution three-dimensional models of the present day thermal and compositional structure of the mantle through the development of forward and inverse seismic waveform modeling approaches. This will be pursued along two directions that will eventually be combined: (a) Using a spectral-element-based seismic waveform modeling approach, develop high resolution seismic models of 3D elastic, isotropic and anisotropic , and anelastic structure of the earth’s mantle, with particular emphasis at the global scale on the lower mantle and, at the tectonic plate scale, on lithosphere-asthenosphere structure; (b) Develop an approach to invert full seismic waveforms, combined with other seismic constraints (such as travel times and normal mode eigenfrequencies) directly for 3D thermal and compositional structure of the mantle, using the best available constraints from mineral physics and geodynamics. A secondary objective is to constrain inner core structure and anisotropy using a combination of free oscillation splitting measurements and travel times and amplitudes of inner core sensitive body waves, with the goal of better characterizing the mantle versus inner core origin of observed anomalies currently attributed to inner core anisotropy.

We propose to seamlessly integrate advanced microelectronics and living neuronal cells in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to significantly advance the understanding of neuronal behaviour. The project includes (a) the development of a novel multifunctional microelectronics chip platform in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which serves to enable (b) key neurobiological and neuromedical research on network dynamics and plasticity of rodent neuronal networks and visual encoding in retinae, and (c) the necessary concurrent development of algorithms and models to efficiently process and maximally harness the unprecedented quality of the obtained data. Neuronal or retinal preparations, such as acute and organotypic brain slices (retinae) or primary cultured, dissociated cells, will be directly placed or grown atop dedicated CMOS microelectronics chips. The chips will feature multiple functions, since neurons carry and pass signals to each other using electro-chemical mechanisms: electrophysiological recording & stimulation, in closed loop & real time, as well as highly spatially resolved impedance measurements and detection of neuroactive chemical compounds. The chips will be capable of delivering any of these functions to arbitrarily selectable individual cells or even subcellular units, and, at the same time, of interacting with a multitude of cells or complete neuronal networks. Along with imaging (light, fluorescence), pharmacological, and/or genetic methods, the developed chip platform will be used to study neuronal network dynamics, synaptic and axonal plasticity, relevant for many brain diseases, as well as visual encoding in the retina. Efficient data handling and spike sorting algorithms will be developed to facilitate these investigations. The multidimensional data will then be used to establish detailed models of neurons and neuronal networks.
