Pilot Joint Call

KORANET Pilot Joint Call on Research for Life-long Health now in evaluation phase

The KORANET Pilot Joint Call is now closed. The proposals that have been submitted are now being evaluated.

 

Background information on the KORANET Pilot Joint Call

In the frame of the KORANET Pilot Joint Call (PJC) on Research for Life-long Health researchers were invited to submit online proposals until 2 April 2010.     

The KORANET PJC aims to bring together European and Korean researchers and scientists to do joint research in the area of life-long health. It tries to approach the topic of life-long health from a multi- and interdisciplinary point of view to ensure optimum synergies and networking options. Thus, project proposals are welcome as long as they aim to overcome the current constraints on the quality of life of the elderly in our society and to help them enjoy better quality lives as they age.       

The three main sub-categories of the KORANET Pilot Joint Call on Research for Life-long health will be dealing with the quality of life of older people in:

• Health (gerontology, medicine, genetics, biology)
• Technology (biotechnology, material science, ICT engineering, robotics, nanotechnology)
• Social sciences (sociology, political science, demography, statistics, psychology, economics).

The KORANET Pilot Joint Call will fund 'Mobility' (travel and accommodation costs, costs for organising smaller events, smaller other costs) for up to a maximum of 1 year.            

Project consortia must consist of a minimum of two partners from two different European countries participating in the KORANET Pilot Joint Call (Germany, Austria, France, Turkey) and one Korean partner.  

A maximum of 20,000 Euro in funding is available for each consortium partner.         

The proposal has to be submitted online using the PT-Outline webtool at: http://www.ptoutline.de/koranet     

Please download the following documents to prepare your proposal.

• Call Text (version of 19 February 2010)
• Guidelines for Applicants (version of 08 February 2010)
• Project description template (to be completed, transformed into a PDF file and uploaded to the Project Description page of the PT-Outline webtool - please do not forget to fill in the other information requested on the PT-Outline pages).    
• PJC Flyer
• Experts' Profiles Brochure with information on the academic background, research work and the contact data of researchers that have expressed their interest in participating in the KORANET Pilot Joint Call and are thus open to be contacted by other researchers with the aim of forming a project consortium
