KORANET Pilot Joint Call on Research for Life-long Health open for proposal submission until 2 April 2010
9. Feb. 2010
In the frame of the KORANET Pilot Joint Call (PJC) on Research for Life-long Health researchers are invited to submit online proposals until 2 April 2010.
The KORANET PJC aims to bring together European and Korean researchers and scientists to do joint research in the area of life-long health. It tries to approach the topic of life-long health from a multi- and interdisciplinary point of view to ensure optimum synergies and networking options. Thus, project proposals are welcome as long as they aim to overcome the current constraints on the quality of life of the elderly in our society and to help them enjoy better quality lives as they age.
The three main sub-categories of the KORANET Pilot Joint Call on Research for Life-long health will be dealing with the quality of life of older people in:
Health (gerontology, medicine, genetics, biology)
Technology (biotechnology, material science, ICT engineering, robotics, nanotechnology)
Social sciences (sociology, political science, demography, statistics, psychology, economics.
The KORANET Pilot Joint Call will fund 'Mobility' (travel and accommodation costs, costs for organising smaller events, smaller other costs) for up to a maximum of 1 year.
Project consortia must consist of a minimum of two partners from two different European countries participating in the KORANET Pilot Joint Call (Germany, Austria, France, Turkey) and one Korean partner.
A maximum of 20,000 Euro in funding is available for each consortium partner.
