INITIATIVE

The Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation, the Cariplo Foundation, and the CDP Foundation have announced the ‘vEIColo – Research Valorization Support’ call, aimed at fostering the participation of Italian researchers in calls for proposals.

The call aims to facilitate the transformation of research results into concrete projects with market value, supporting the participation of Italian research in the EIC Pathfinder and Transition calls and increasing the ability to attract funding from universities and public and private research institutions in the national territory by providing support to unfunded projects due to lack of funds.

The call includes two distinct lines of intervention: Line 1 and Line 2.

Deadline

Line 1: by 1:00 PM on February 8, 2024. Line 2: by 1:00 PM on March 28, 2024, for EIC Pathfinder Challenges or Transition 2024 calls.

Line 2: by 1:00 PM on May 30, 2024, to participate in the EIC Pathfinder Open 2025 call.

Open/Closed: Open

The new call for trilateral research conferences at Villa Vigoni has been published, with a deadline of April 14, 2024.

The program targets all fields of humanities and social sciences. The trilateral dimension involving Italy, France, and Germany concerns both the participants, grouped into 3 national teams, and the working languages. The call is also open to young scholars who have obtained their Ph.D. no more than 6 years ago, who can apply in a simplified form compared to the standard application procedure for established colleagues.

The necessary documentation for application can be found at the following address, where you can also participate in Zoom consultation meetings, available from January 19th.

The CHIPS JU has published the 2024 calls for research projects on “Non-Initiative” topics. The deadline for submitting Project Outlines is set for May 14, 2024, at 17:00 Brussels time.

Consortia participating in these proposals must submit the Project Outline exclusively to the CHIPS JU by May 14, 2024, at 17:00 Brussels time. In this first phase, no document submission to the MUR is required.

Proposals that pass the first phase will be invited to submit the Full Proposal to the CHIPS JU by September 17, 2024, at 17:00 Brussels time.

Italian partners intending to request funding from the MUR must submit a supplementary national application through the platform https://banditransnazionali-miur.cineca.it by September 26, 2024, at 17:00 Rome time. Failure to submit the supplementary national application, duly signed by the legal representative or a delegate, by the specified deadline will result in ineligibility for funding.
