HU-EPFL Brain Collaboration / Call for proposals
© 2012 EPFL
The 21st century is being hailed as the "Century of the Brain" whereby international collaboration among top complimentary research centers has become a primary tool for advancing brain research. The new Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC) at the Hebrew University and the Brain Mind Institute (BMI) at the EPFL have recently signed an agreement with the aim to foster a bilateral scientific cooperation.
The two institutions will provide support funds for pioneering and ambitious joint research projects, including salaries for M.Sc. and Ph.D. research fellows, facility and travel expenses, based on proposals submitted by teams from the two institutions.
A brief, 1-2 pages, proposal describing the project is required. All projects begin as one year pilot grants (starting with 50,000 SF for each lab.) and then grow depending on progress for a total of 3 years.
