DIM ELICIT : Launch of the two first calls of 2020

DIM ELICIT (Empowering Life Sciences with Innovative Technologies), coordinated by the Institut Pasteur and the Pierre-Gilles-de-Gennes Institute for microfluidic (IPGG), is one of 13 research fields of major interest (DIMs) with high potential identified by the Région Ile-de-France for the period 2017-2020.

The aim of DIM ELICIT is to support the use and development of innovative technologies for research in life sciences in the Région Ile-de-France. The program covers three scientific areas (microfluidics, biophotonics and waves, and image analysis and big data) and has four fields of application (single-cell and single-molecule biology, organ-on-a-chip, technologies for in vivo biology, and high- technology/low-cost).

The DIM ELICIT supports the first applications of new technologies or innovative instruments for biology, or the implementation of disruptive technologies in biology. The disruptiveness criteria is assessed regarding their impact and transformative nature.

The DIM ELICIT is launching its first two calls for proposals of 2020:

Co-development of innovative technologies and methods for research in life sciences

Dissemination of new technologies or methods for new applications in life sciences (noncommercial methods and/or instruments)

The submission deadline is April 3, 2020.
