2. Interdisciplinary Pilot Projects (IPPs): innovative projects with a high risk to scientifically fail and / or seed projects. Up to ten Interdisciplinary Pilot Projects (IPP) will be funded.

3. Interactions between Academia and Industry: Bridge 2 Industry (BIP) and Industrial Sabbaticals in Academia (ISA) projects (see also X-Flash of Sept 21, 2009).

 

Deadlines:

IPhD and IPP:

Deadline for submission of proposals for IPhD and IPP projects is January 15, 2010.

 

BIP and ISA:

Unlike the IPP and IPhDs projects, submission deadlines for BIP and ISA are more frequent to allow more flexibility in preparing a proposal together with industrial partners. Deadlines for BIP and ISA proposals are as follows (of each year):

  • February 1
  • May 
  • August 1
  • November 1

The first deadline for BIP and ISA proposal is November 1, 2009.
