The results of these latest grants from the ERC clearly illustrate that the programme is less accessible to applicants from countries with lower R&I intenstiy levels. Its is demonstrably evident that the current funding distribution is highly skewed towards more advanced Member States and a revision is necessary to promote inclusivity and excellence across all countries. The EU's next framework programme should introduce specific schemes for Widening countries, ensuring that researchers can participate fully and also benefit from this prestigious programme.

🎉IT:U is thrilled to announce that it has received more than 350 applications for its 18 open PhD positions in the PhD program “Computational X”. 🎉 ➡️The diverse range of fields represented by the applicants is truly remarkable, spanning from biophysics and law to medicine, psychology, intercultural studies, and many others. ➡️This diversity of disciplines reflects the wide-ranging appeal and interdisciplinary nature of our program. ➡️What makes this response even more exciting is the global nature of the interest we have garnered, with candidates from various corners of the world bringing unique perspectives and expertise to the table. 🎯A closer look at the geographic distribution reveals that 22.25% of the applicants come from Europe, 77.75% from Third States. 🚀Moreover, we are happy to highlight that one third of the applicants are women, underscoring the significant and growing interest of women in the field of digital transformation. ➕In addition to the PhD applications, we have also received more than 150 applications for our PostDoc positions, further emphasizing the global and interdisciplinary appeal of our research initiatives. 💡We are inspired by the exceptional interest and look forward to welcoming a new cohort of talented scholars to our vibrant academic community. 📸: Gerd Christian Krizek and Bettina Mairhofer from the Division Study portfolio and Student affairs

This November, the PhD conference People-City-Transport, organised by PhD students from our department, will take place for the second time, following its successful inaugural run last year. Join nearly twenty international PhD students who will present their research in urban studies and transport! The call for abstracts is open until September 15th! Conference annotation The People-City-Transport 2024 is a free PhD conference organised by PhD students for PhD students at Fakulta architektury ČVUT v Praze. The event is hybrid, both in place and online. The conference aims to allow PhD candidates and young researchers to discuss their research with senior researchers and practitioners. The conference focuses on urban mobility and aims to foster an interdisciplinary approach encompassing behavioural, sociological, environmental, and technical perspectives. This broad scope encourages knowledge transfer and the development of competencies to address current urban mobility issues. A conference book of extended abstracts will be issued.

On 1 January, the UK became an associated country to Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship research scheme. But social scientists and humanities researchers risk being relegated to a secondary role in competition with other disciplines. Linda Hantrais and Anouska N. explain that when the UK was reinstated for awards to be taken up in 2024, the number of awards granted to the UK for participation in Pillar II of Horizon Europe had fallen to half the rate it had been under Horizon 2020 prior to Brexit. Data for 2023/24 indicates the UK social sciences were still trailing the Netherlands and Germany but were regaining ground for Advanced Grants. However, compared to the awards funded by the life sciences and for physics and engineering panels, social scientists remain the poor relation. https://lnkd.in/gkPZQxUE #research #Brexit #academia

🧵 - 2 UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is the main body responsible for funding and supporting research and innovation across the UK. It brings together a group of councils, each with its own area of expertise, to ensure that the UK remains a global leader in science, research, and innovation. I find it fascinating how UKRI helps connect researchers, businesses, and policymakers to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing society. Under UKRI, there are nine funding councils. Each plays a unique role in supporting research and innovation across a variety of disciplines. For example, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) focuses on supporting creative and cultural research, while the Medical Research Council (MRC) funds projects aimed at improving human health. Then there’s the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), which backs studies exploring social and economic issues. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funds research in areas like mathematics, materials, and computing, while the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is all about studying our planet and environmental science. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) supports research in agriculture, food, and biosciences. Innovate UK is also part of UKRI, and they’re more focused on helping businesses develop and scale innovative ideas. Two other key players are Research England, which funds English universities to deliver world-leading research and knowledge exchange, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), which supports cutting-edge science in areas like astronomy and particle physics. For me, what’s most inspiring about UKRI is how it brings together different disciplines to make a real-world impact. Whether it’s addressing climate change, improving healthcare, or driving technological innovation, UKRI feels like the engine behind so much of the UK’s progress. It’s empowering to see such a collaborative and ambitious approach to shaping the future.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O'Donovan TD, today announced a €14.6 million investment in 25 projects to support early career researchers under the SFI-IRC Pathway programme. The awards will enable postdoctoral researchers to develop their career pathway and transition to become independent research leaders. The funding, covering a four-year period, will provide additional support for a postgraduate student who will be primarily supervised by the awardee. Minister O’Donovan said: “This Pathway funding will help facilitate a defined journey from post-doctoral research to independent researcher. Bridging this gap is a challenging but critical milestone, and the research selected for investment will address key challenges and opportunities, ranging from new therapies for Parkinsons to the development of sustainable supercapacitors.” View the full list of projects at:https://lnkd.in/g9baSRuZ Irish Research Council Trinity College Dublin Dublin City University University College Dublin Maynooth University University College Cork Tyndall National Institute Technological University Dublin University of Limerick Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science NIBRT National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training SETU Research University of Galway Dundalk Institute of Technology Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)
