UCLouvain researchers: The « Infrastructure and large equipment call 2024” (INFRA-GEQ) is open for online submission on E-Space.    An INFRA-GEQ application allows you to apply for funding for : - the acquisition of large-scale specialised equipment  - the setting up of research infrastructures, or  - the upgrading of existing facilities.    You can apply for funding between €300,000 and €800,000 maximum, spread over 3 or 6 years, to cover expenditure on equipment, specific staff, and operating costs.   Projects may be submitted in French or English, although English is recommended for the SEN and SVS fields.   Calendar: - as soon as possible (for better administrative follow-up): access to the electronic form on E-Space ;  - before Thursday September 26 2024 – 2pm : electronic validation by the main promoter ; - before Thursday October 3rd 2024 – 2pm : electronic validation by the co-promoters ; - starting date: June 1st 2025.   Pre-approval: All applications must first be pre-approved by the university to which the main promoter is attached based on feasibility criteria (financial, human, and technical) and redundancy (existing equipment or infrastructure already available).   Eligibility  The primary promoter and co-promoter must be permanently appointed to an academic or scientific position or on university probation (appointment by 15th November).  If the main promoter-applicant is appointed permanently and accesses pension / becomes professor emeritus after October 10 2024, and before the end of the funding scheme in case of granting, the submission of the application shall be subject to the prior approval of the Head of the institution where the research will be carried out.  In this case, please get in touch with us as soon as possible and provide us with the name of the professor who will take over the project. We will contact the BEX for approval.   Eligible costs   Staff: only the following categories are eligible:  o Technician: aimed at technical staff with a bachelor's degree who carry out operational and maintenance tasks. o Non-doctoral scientist: any scientific or technical staff at Master's level who are not working on a doctoral thesis during their working hours.  o Research logistician: provides scientific and technical support in planning, supervising and operationalising the infrastructure and its activities, mainly about using and maintaining state-of-the-art equipment.  NB: As hiring research logisticians on external funding is not allowed at UCLouvain, this latter category of staff cannot be requested at UCLouvain for this call.   Contact your CLC (Cellule Logistique et Comptable) or the ARH (Human Resource Department) to obtain an estimate of the personnel costs.    Operating costs: Ssee Mini-Guide: https://lnkd.in/ed4WvGwD).

The TRANSCOM 2025 conference, an International Scientific Conference on Sustainable, Modern, and Safe Transport, provides networking opportunities, exposure to cutting-edge research, and interdisciplinary insights. For young researchers, PhD students, and scientists as well as for data analysts and data scientists this confernce is a chance to collaborate, learn, and contribute to sustainable transport solutions. Anyone can find an inspirational idea for a data science project with real-world application: 1. Operation and Economics in Transport: Explore transport policy, logistics, and operational models. 2. Mechanical Engineering in Transport: Dive into materials, robotics, and energy efficiency. 3. Electrical Engineering in Transport: Discuss ICT, power systems, and mechatronics. 4. Civil Engineering in Transport: Cover infrastructure, planning, and environmental aspects. 5. Management Science and Informatics in Transport: Focus on optimization, information systems, and geoinformatics. 6. Safety and Security Engineering in Transport: Address critical infrastructure, risk assessment, and emergency management. Find more info https://lnkd.in/eBAXsbgM

We need world-class infrastructure to support world-leading research. But without the expertise to operate them, we can't unlock its full potential. Research Technical Professionals (RTPS) play this vital role, which is why we’re investing £16 million in their training and development support.   Funded through EPSRC and the UK Research and Innovation Digital Research Infrastructure programme, 11 community-driven projects will share learnings, provide additional skills, and support long-term career progression for RTPs, including training in areas such as: 🔹 software development, 🔹 data management and processing, 🔹 materials science 🔹 biomolecular engineering   Jane Nicholson, Research Base Director at EPSRC said: “Through these 11 new projects, the Strategic Technical Platform funding will help cultivate a thriving, dynamic, and vibrant community of research technicians. "This community will not only support and elevate cutting-edge research in the UK, but also foster a sizeable, highly skilled and esteemed research technician network. The UK is a world leader in high-tech research and development and it’s essential that we fully support the full breadth of skills needed for the workforce that deliver this innovation."   Head to our website for further information on the projects.   And welcome to our project leads: Jeyan Thiyagalingam, STFC Jeremy Cohen, Imperial College London Ann-Marie Mallon, The Alan Turing Institute Robert Richardson, University of Leeds Max Munoz, Queen Mary University of London Tony Horner, Henry Royce Institute at The University of Manchester Ian Hancox, University of Warwick Derren Heyes, The University of Manchester Edward Codling, University of Essex Anneke Lubben, University of Bath Philip Couch, The University of Manchester #Tech #Skills #Career #Research #Development

#HigherEducation #university #ViceChancellor Scientists are a crucial asset to any nation, contributing significantly to advancements in knowledge, technology, and innovation. The continuous engagement of scientists in research and development (R&D) is essential for the progress of a society. As long as a scientist remains dedicated and motivated, it is in the best interest of the nation to provide the necessary support and resources to ensure their sustained involvement in R&D activities. This not only fosters scientific growth but also enhances the nation's capacity to address complex challenges and stay at the forefront of global developments.

Attached is the video material from the opening ceremony of the #supercomputing #Center in the #EngineeringCity that is unique in its capacity among the EU Eastern Partnership countries, and within the Eurasian Economic Union, #Armenia is the second in terms of having such #Supercomputing power. "We aim to create the best possible opportunities for all individuals, #scientists, and #engineers who seek to engage in creative work. This is crucial because, without an office, proper #equipment, and the necessary software, it is often nearly impossible for a scientist to produce #worldclass #research and creative outputs. Similarly, engineers need the right tools and infrastructure to innovate. Therefore, providing these resources is essential. State's investments in enhancing the quality of #education and the introduction of #STEM #laboratories in all schools of #Armenia are forward-looking initiatives."
