Inception: Call for Workshop-Training-Visiting Scientist

The Inception (INstitut Convergence : Emergence of Pathology Through Individuals and PopulatiONs) Workshop-Training-Visiting Scientist call aims to strengthen existing networks, to build new networks of national and international cross cooperation and to encourage the exchange of ideas and concepts in all areas relevant to the Inception program. Using Integrative Biology, Social Science and Data Science, the Inception program aims to understand the emergence of diseases in populations and individuals, involving different fields of expertise (biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and social sciences).

It addresses societal challenges related to disease emergence such as:
• Global surveillance and monitoring
• Multi-scale analyses, integrating the ecosystem
• Social sphere to define health policies
• New methodological approaches to make sense of biological big data

All Workshop/Training/Visiting Scientist proposals on topics within the frame of the Inception program will be considered.
 

  • Funding, application and eligibility

Except in special cases, the program covers Workshop/Training expenses, including invited speakers’ housing and travel, up to a global amount of 5000€ maximum. Proposals with two or more co-organizers from different partner institutions will be favoured, but this is not required.
Visiting Scientist application concerns researchers invited at Institut Pasteur for up to 12 months maximum. The applicant will deliver at least 1-2 seminars/courses per month, and Inception will provide 1000€ per month to help the applicant for local fees.
If your project is selected, the Inception program and the “Investissements d’Avenir” must be presented as sponsor, and low prices for PhD students and researchers of the Inception partners must be proposed. A report with the outcome (number of speakers and attendees, program of the event, total cost…) will be asked at the end of the event.

The call is open to all Institut Pasteur and partner teams. Do not hesitate to ask if necessary.
