The ELICIT DIM is launching its 2018 call for proposals. The 2018 call is designed to support collaborative interdisciplinary research projects:
- first applications of new technologies or innovative instruments for Biology;
- implementation of disruptive technologies in Biology, the disruptive criteria being assessed regarding the impact and the transformative nature;
- integration in the SME and industrial value-added chain, in particular in Ile-de-France, in the area of Technologies for Life Sciences (including start-up creation).
The aim of the call is to allow large-scale achievements in Life Sciences research and to enable the emergence of innovations able to address at mid-term the market of instruments and technologies for Life Sciences.
Applications should involve collaborations between:
- A group of research working on the creation of instruments (detection, characterization, observation, methodologies, etc.)
- One or more research group(s) working on applied Biology.
On December 15, 2016, the Île-de-France (Greater Paris) region adopted the accreditation of its new Fields of Major Interest (DIMs) for the 2017-2020 period.
ELICIT (Empowering Life Sciences with Innovative Technologies), jointly coordinated by the Pierre-Gilles-de-Gennes Institute for Microfluidics (IPGG, Patrick Tabeling) and the Institut Pasteur Technological Innovation and Research Center (Citech), is one of the 15 selected projects. The consortium also comprises the ESPCI ParisTech engineering school, including the Langevin Institute, the Institut Curie, the École Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris V University, École Polytechnique, and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
