EELISAConnect: Joint Call for Workshops
Are you a researcher willing to activate the exchange of ideas between EELISA researchers and academicians? Do you dream of creating a space for sharing experiences, contacts, capacities, infrastructures, and research projects with your international peers? If so, this is your chance to get your ideas funded! “EELISAConnect” is the first joint call of EELISA InnoCORE, the research and innovation wing of EELISA, aiming at workshops with the potential to trigger new research proposals under Horizon Europe and other European or international calls, as well as providing a forum for EELISA researchers.
The main aim of this EELISAConnect call is to build and reinforce paths and instruments for new collaborations among the EElisa partners and strengthen the R&I dimension of the Alliance through the organisation of thematic workshops involving at least 3 partners. For this reason, the project has set 170.000 euros to support the organization of selected workshops. The budget will be managed in three rounds of calls and the workshops to be funded will be evaluated and selected by the EElisa InnoCORE Advisory Council for Research and Innovation.
The aim of the workshops is to concretize interdisciplinary projects and lay the foundations for joint research proposals. In this sense, the workshops should have the following potentials:
- to stimulate connections between EELISA researchers in order to strengthen the way research is networked and to share experiences, facilities, and research methodologies with long-term impacts;
- to align with the EELISA dimensions of Strategic Research Areas, EElisa Communities, and possibly EElisa Research Clusters;
- to initiate new research collaborations, especially new research proposals under Horizon Europe and other European or international calls.
The workshop organization must involve at least three researchers or academicians from three EELISA partners located in different countries. One partner will be the local organizer and will be in charge of the organization of the event. the call will finance the main costs of organising the workshops, including the mobility of the professionals involved, up to 17.000 euros.
Applicants should complete and send the application form as a PDF by April 20 to eelisa@santannapisa.it (subject: “Open Call EELISA Connect”). The form includes a brief summary of the organisers’ résumés, a description of the workshop and how the workshop meets the aims of the call.
