Excellensprogrammet för hållbar utveckling ger nio nya postdoktoranställningar

Två forskningsprojekt med sammanlagt nio postdoktorer får totalt 32,7 miljoner kronor i den andra omgången av Lunds universitets forskningsprogram för excellens med fokus på Agenda 2030 och hållbar utveckling.

Lunds universitet beslutade i mars 2021 att inrätta ett forskningsprogram för tvärvetenskapliga projekt med fokus på Agenda 2030 och hållbar utveckling och att avsätta sammanlagt 100 miljoner kronor för åren 2022–2025. Syftet med programmet är att universitetet ska skapa internationellt ledande miljöer som kan attrahera finansiering från kommande satsningar på hållbar utveckling. Det gäller både nationella anslag från satsningar i forskningspropositionen men särskilt från EU:s ramprogram Horisont Europa.

Projekten som beviljats anslag i den andra omgången är nedanstående. Totalt får de tillsammans 32,7 miljoner kronor under tre år.

LU4Water

Projektet samlar forskning från sex fakulteter vid Lunds universitet. Detta breda samarbete ska underlätta framtagandet av en plan för vattenpolicy med mål att lösa ohållbar vattenförbrukning. Denna plan ska kunna tillämpas på svensk såväl som global nivå. Säker och hållbar vattenförvaltning är ett globalt behov och en hörnsten inom FN:s hållbarhetsmål.

Sex postdoktorer från LTH, Juridiska fakulteten, Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten, Ekonomihögskolan och Humanistiska och teologiska fakulteterna ingår i projektet.

Huvudsökande: Kenneth M Persson, LTH

Medsökande: Britta Sjöstedt, J; Charlotte Sparrebom, N; Lea Fünfschilling, S; Jonas Nordström, EHL; Dan-Erik Andersson, HT

Circular Economy: Multi-level value chain and policy dynamics for accelerating sustainability transformations

Projektet ska undersöka skiftet från globala värdekedjor till cirkulära leveranskedjor, vilka är av stor vikt eftersom globala värdekedjor står för hälften av världens handel. Projektet kommer att belysa spänningar mellan linjära och cirkulära affärsmodeller, mellan toppstyrda företag och inkluderande lokala botten-uppinitiativ och mellan fokus på avreglering och på styrformer som tar miljö- och social hänsyn.

I projektet ingår tre postdoktorer från Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten, LTH och Ekonomihögskolan.

Huvudsökande: Markus Grillitsch, Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten

Medsökande: Fredrik Nilsson, S; Sylvia Schwaag Serger, EHL

Seminar for PhD supervisors about ethics in research and supervision

As a researcher, it is a privilege to be able to delve into both theory and empirical evidence and freely define research aims and questions. This means great opportunities to develop and contribute to research but also comes with the responsibility to follow research ethics principles and good research practice.

In this seminar you will learn about the most important things about the ethical review process (why it exists and what it requires), how different legal frameworks and regulations relate to each other and what good research practice means. You will also learn what researchers need to know about ethics in the context of online research, which is becoming increasingly relevant. There will be three expert talks and ample time for you to ask question to the speakers.

Further information

The seminar will be held in English. It is part of the LU-wide initiative “Professionalisation of the supervisor role” for training of research supervisors.

Time: 28 mars 2023 14:15 to 16:30

Place: LUSEM/Lund University School of Economics and Management, EC1: The Crafoord hall. Coffee and tea will be served

How to get EU funding for your innovative idea

X-Lab, the makerspace at LTH, Lund University

The funding program from the European Innovation Fund (EIC) provides funding for research and develop of emerging breakthrough technologies. The different funding instruments are dedicated to different levels of technological readiness (TRL) of the research and development – EIC Pathfinder (TRL 1-4) and EIC Transition (TRL 4-6). Learn more about how the European commission defines TRL definition.

Both Pathfinder and Transition includes Open calls as well as Challenges.
Open, indicates a bottom-up approach, meaning any field of science, technology or application without predefined thematic priorities are welcome to apply.
Challenges indicates a top-down, challenge-driven approach, which aim to support proposals within a predefined thematic area and addressing specific objectives.

Topics and deadlines/cut-offs (dates need to be confirmed by call opening)
EIC PATHFINDER OPEN deadline: 7 March 2023
EIC PATHFINDER CHALLENGES deadline: 18 October 2023
• Clean and efficient cooling
• Architecture, Engineering and Construction digitalisation for a novel triad of design, fabrication, and materials
• Precision nutrition
• Responsible electronics
• In-space solar energy harvesting for innovative space applications

EIC TRANSITION OPEN cut-off dates: 12/4 2023; 27/9 2023
EIC TRANSITION CHALLENGES cut-off dates: 12/4 2023; 27/9 2023

Full scale Micro-Nano-Bio devices for medical and medical research applications
Environmental intelligence
Chip-scale optical frequency combs

News: results from all projects funded under Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe, are eligible for EIC Transition Challenges.

Regarding the EIC Transition there are interesting news. A proposal to EIC Transition Open must build on results already achieved within an eligible project (e.g. EIC Pathfinder, H2020 FET-Open and Proactive), FET Flagships, ERC-PoC or EDF civil projects). The new thing is that results from all projects funded under Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe, can apply for EIC Transition Challenges.

Please note that any applications received after the first cut-off date and before 25 November will only be evaluated if funding remains after the selection of applications received by the first cut-off date of 11 November. In the unlikely case that there is still funding available after the first two rounds of evaluation, the portal will reopen for new applications in early 2023.

The mobility programme Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions has opened a new call to allow displaced postdoctoral researchers and doctoral candidates in, or from Ukraine, to apply for fellowships to continue their work at academic and non-academic organisations in EU Member States and Associated Countries. The duration of the fellowships is between 6 and 24 months. The scheme may also facilitate researchers’ reintegration in Ukraine if conditions for safe return are met. The fellowships are open to all disciplines of research and innovation.

Short summary of the programme requirements:

Fellows:

Ukrainian nationals, or stateless persons, or nationals from third countries other than Ukraine, with their primary residence in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. They could either have been displaced on or after 24 February 2022 or are ready to relocate from Ukraine.

Are postdoctoral researchers in possession of a doctoral degree by the time the fellowship is set to begin, or doctoral candidates, enrolled in a doctoral programme at a higher education institution in Ukraine.

Have the language skills required to successfully conduct their research activities at the envisaged host organization

Host organisations: academic or non-academic organisations in any EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country.

Applications: must be submitted by prospective host organisations

Duration: a minimum of 6 months, up to a maximum of 24 months.
