Informasjonsmøte om FP7 Anne Marie Haga og Alena Koslerova Forskningsavdelingen

Why involve in FP7? Funding for research Increase number and quality of publications PhD scholarships International cooperation (researchers, networks) Increase success rate at NFR UiB: Among top ten European universities: Framework programmes – PhD/postdoc training and Research Infrastructures 4 FP6 integrated projects coordinated by UiB

7th Framework Programme 7 years ( ) Budget 50.5 billion Euro. Continuity with previous FP’s (thematic research, mobility actions, research infrastructures), but new programme Ideas for basic research projects  European Research Council. To strengthen quality of EU research > open to participants from countries outside Europe. Multi-disciplinary and cross-thematic projects. First calls published: 22 December 2006!

MC Networks for Initial Training To improve early-stage researchers’ career perspectives in both public and private sectors Networks of partners with complementary competences, also industry/private sector (’complementary providers’ >>’complementary skills’) Min. 3 participants in min. 3 member or associated countries, of which at least 2 must be member countries Networks to run training for early-stage researchers: >>Joint research training programme = individual personalised training + training modules Max. duration of the programme: 4 years Publication: December 06, two-stage submission + evaluation process

People – Life-long training and career development  To enhance competence diversification of researchers >>> acquisition of skills at multi/interdisciplinary level + inter-secoral experience  NOT merely provide employment opportunities for researchers!  Best or most promising researchers  Individual experienced researchers >4 years research/Doc, usually more senior profile, EU member or associated country nationals  Fellowships: 1-2 years in another EU/assoc. country  Publication: February 07, single submission + evaluation procedure

European Research Council (ERC) Any research field Individual projects (researcher or national/transnational team) Evaluated by excellence criterion (peer review) Grant schemes: Starting Independent Research Grant, Advanced Investigator Research Grant Highly competitive. Best of best. Ideas – Frontier (basic) Research

CAPACITIES PROGRAMME : Science in Society Science in society: this activity in the Capacities programme will also play a role to ensure that society aspects are properly taken into account in all specific programmes, and that interactions between scientists and the wider public are deepened. With a view to building an effective and democratic European Knowledge society, the aim is to stimulate the harmonious integration of scientific and technological endeavourand associated research policies in the European social web. Mulig åpning for forskning på etikk

Noen sentrale valg som må gjøres i vurderingen om en skal delta i søknad til EUs rammeprogram

Konkrete forslag til posisjonering for innhenting av ekstern finansiering Analysere hva slags program man bør søke finansiering fra Lage handlingsplan for nettverksbygging nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Mål: å komme i inngrep med og påvirke programutforming Delta i fagpanel/ komitear/ programstyre for utvikling av prioriteringar wel.welcome wel.welcome

Why register as an expert evaluator? Reading the unpublished proposals put forward by Europe's best scientists is never a waste of time. Get insight into how some of the best European researchers think the state of the art should be advanced. You can read this years before you can read the peer-reviewed journal papers. When final selections are being made, in committees in Brussels, the good reviewers also get a chance to meet each other, discuss the development of European research in their field as shown by the proposals, and discuss with Commission officials where there are gaps in the research - what needs to be included in the next work programmes.

Konkrete forslag til posisjonering for innhenting av ekstern finansiering forts. Organisere internevaluering av søknader / skrivegrupper Organisere opplæring i søknadsskriving Delta på skrivekurs (EU) – Dr. Sean McCarthy planlagt for hele UiB 17.januar 2007
