nicoleta susanu's insight:
At the start of its 'European Month of the Brain' initiative, the European Commission has earmarked some €150 million of funding for 20 new international brain research projects. The initiative aims to showcase the latest achievements in the field, but also to urge a more decisive effort to combat brain diseases. It also aims at highlighting how studying the brain can revolutionise computing. The initiative comes as the profile of brain research has been raised recently with ambitious new projects in the EU (FET Flagship Human Brain Project) and the US (BRAIN project). Brain research involves many disciplines from genetics, cell biology, physiology, imaging, bioinformatics, anatomy and clinical investigations to behavioural sciences, ICT, nanotechnology and nutrition. Unlocking the secrets of how the brain works could therefore also open up a whole new universe of services and products for our economies.

The Gates Foundation is looking for proposals to build a consortium in Africa to optimize nutrition outcomes from investments in agriculture, working with or delivering through existing platforms developed by governments, community organizations, private sector or development programs. They would like to fund the consortium to work in Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Nigeria, but we recognize that this spread and scale would challenge most organizations so we are open to concepts that cover a minimum of four of these countries. A Letter of Inquiry (LOI) in response to this Request should be submitted no later than 7 June 2013, 9:00am PST. The Gates Foundation will evaluate the LOIs, and applicants who have projects of further interest to the Gates Foundation will be invited in July 2013 to submit a full proposal.

nicoleta susanu's insight:
Horizon 2020 strikes the right balance between supporting excellent science, boosting the competitiveness of our industries and tackling societal challenges. It is structured around three distinct, but mutually reinforcing pillars. The first pillar, 'Excellence in the science base' will support frontier or basic research, the bedrock of economic growth and the wellbeing of our society. This is obviously good for researchers, to whom we offer opportunities to work together and develop ideas. We have proposed a significant increase in support to the extremely successful European Research Council, which in six years has already become a gold standard for excellence in research. Secondly, with Horizon 2020 we're boosting competitiveness. The second pillar, 'Creating industrial leadership and competitive frameworks', will support business research and innovation, including investment in Key Enabling Technologies – such as ICT, nanotechnology and biotechnology - and support for innovation in SMEs. The third pillar, 'Tackling societal challenges', will address the major challenges in our society, such as: health, demographic change and well-being; food security and the bio-based economy; secure, clean and efficient energy, and resource efficiency and climate action.
