– 12/09/2010Posted in: Funding infos, interdisciplinary research, PhD fellowships

SystemsX.ch Fourth Call for Proposals

SystemsX.ch, the Swiss Initiative in Systems Biology, is issuing its Forth Call for Proposals.

The focus of the present Call is on :

  1. Interdisciplinary Pilot Projects (IPPs): innovative projects with a high risk to scientifically fail and / or seed projects. Up to ten Interdisciplinary Pilot Projects (IPP) will be funded.
  2. Interactions between Academia and Industry: Bridge 2 Industry (BIP) and Industrial Sabbaticals in Academia (ISA) projects.

Deadlines:

IPP:

Deadline for submission of proposals for IPP projects is January 15, 2011.

BIP and ISA:

Unlike the IPP projects, submission deadlines for BIP and ISA are more frequent to allow more flexibility in preparing a proposal together with industrial partners. Deadlines for BIP and ISA proposals are as follows (of each year):

  • February 1
  • May
  • August 1
  • November 1

The next deadline for BIP and ISA proposal is November 1, 2010.

Nov 1-2, 2010: All SystemsX.ch Day 2010 Geneva

– 10/22/2010Posted in: Seminars & Workshops

All SystemsX.ch Day 2010

We would like to announce the dates for the All SystemsX.ch Day 2010. Please block your calendars:

Event: All SystemsX.ch Day 2010
Location: Geneva (details to be announced)
Dates: November 1 and 2, 2010

The annual All SystemsX.ch Day is the largest event organized by SystemsX.ch and counts around 400 guests every year. It is a Swiss-wide networking and information exchange event, which attracts scientists, politicians, industry partners, and the public media. Besides being the main location where new projects are presented or proposed, it also promotes education and training opportunities in Systems Biology.  It takes place in rotating cities in Switzerland, according to the location of the hosting institution co-organizing the event, which is always one of the 11 partners of SystemsX.ch. Every year there is a guest speaker invited to talk about the latest news and discoveries in Systems Biology. Additionally, researchers from SystemsX.ch projects present their projects and results. The event ends with a scientific poster competition, which recognizes the best poster with a generous award for successful PhD students or postdocs.

The All SystemsX.ch Day provides scientists and non-scientists alike a great opportunity to exchange their knowledge, interests, and needs, while simultaneously acting as an initial platform for future research cooperation.

Call for Industry Collaboration Projects-SystemsX.ch

– 04/23/2010Posted in: Funding infos, Public-private partnership

SystemsX.ch — The Swiss Initiative in Systems Biology

Call for Industry Collaboration Projects

In an effort to bring the systems approach to research closer to the private sector, SystemsX.ch has created two new project types to promote industrial collaborations with our academic partners. SystemsX.ch would like to fund several new projects in the categories Bridge 2 Industry Projects (BIP) and Industrial Sabbaticals in Academia (ISA). Each of these projects will allow our partner institutions to engage an industrial partner into Systems Biology research projects. For more information, projects descriptions, application requirements, and application forms please see our webpage under Industry Collaboration Projects. Industry collaboration projects may be submitted four times per year (February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1) and will be reviewed and selected by the SystemsX.ch Scientific Executive Board. For more information, please contact Franziska Biellmann in the SystemsX.ch Management Office
