In phase 2 of the NRW Strategy Project BioSC the Core Groups have again various opportunities to take part in the further development of the BioSC. SEED FUND 2.0 projects, White papers and visits of guest scientists can be applied for. Moreover there is the opportunity to host events like BioSC Spotlights or Summer Schools with organisational support of the Office.
SEED FUND Call in May/June 2017
There will be SEED FUND projects in an adapted form in phase 2. On the one hand this measure will facilitate new approaches within the three Focus Topic Areas and the Competence Platform “Economy, Strategies and Concepts”. On the other hand there will be topic-specific SEED FUND 2.0 Calls which are related to the Focus Labs. The first SEED FUND 2.0 call is planned for end of May/beginning of June. This call will be thematically open (in the above mentioned sense). Later calls will mainly be related to the Focus Labs.
Call for White Papers in June 2017
In the future there will be calls for White Papers two to three times per year. The first call in 2017 is planned for June.
Visits of guest scientists
In phase 2 of the NRW strategy project there is again the opportunity to finance stays of guest scientists for several months. The guest scientists should complement the expertise in the BioSC, introduce it e.g. in a workshop and their strengthen the national and/or international networks of the BioSC. You can find the proposal template in the intranet. If you have any questions please contact the BioSC Office.
Proposals for BioSC Spotlights
Ideas and hosts for the new event series „BioSC Spotlight“ are welcome. BioSC Spotlights are planned to take place two to four times per year. These public „mini symposia“ will focus on selected topics in the context of BioSC. External guests as well as speakers from BioSC projects will be invited to present their scientific results and current developments in the field will be discussed.
All Core Groups have the opportunity to host a BioSC Spotlight and to plan and organise the event together with the BioSC Office. If you have ideas or questions about the procedure please contact the BioSC Office.
Proposals for Season Schools
Ideas and hosts for future BioSC Season Schools are welcome as well. Aninternational summer or winter school should be within the thematic framework of the Focus Topic Areas and Competence Platform of the BioSC. It should mainly address PhD students and should promote the interdisciplinary networking. Training schools can last one to two weeks and should include external speakers.
The BioSC office will take care of the organisational work. The season schools should be planned jointly by the host and a small programme committee.
If you are interested to host a season school or if you would like to bring in any ideas please contact Greta Mittweg.
IMPORTANT: Publications of results from BioSC projects
When you publish results from BioSC problems, please have in mind that, due to the funding regulations of the MIWF, it is mandatory to mention the BioSC and the funding by the MIWF in the acknowledgements. If possible, the BioSC should as well be mentioned as second affiliation in addition to your institute (also see the Acknowledgements template in our intranet). This is also important for visibility and as confirmation of success for the grant authority. Only publications in which the BioSC is mentioned in the way described above can be listed on our homepage and can be counted for the key indicators.
