Objective
AccliPhot is an interdisciplinary, intersectorial research and
training network devoted to study photosynthetic acclimation processes
in plants and algae. We will train 13 early-stage researchers (ESRs)
and 1 experienced researcher (ER) in cutting-edge experimental
technologies, modern modelling approaches, industrial applications and
a wide spectrum of complementary and industry-relevant skills. In the
frame of our research goal to obtain a systems-wide understanding of
photosynthetic acclimation processes and their consequences at the
organism and population levels, individual research projects and
targeted secondments will expose the ESRs to intense interdisciplinary
collaborations wielding complementary experimental and theoretical
approaches to study photosynthetic acclimation across various scales
of biological organisation. Projects will investigate signalling
pathways that respond to environmental changes, electron transport
chain activity, photosynthetic metabolism and growth of plants and
algal populations using four organisms. Fundamental research
uncovering novel mechanisms will be performed in Arabidopsis and
Chlamydomonas. New knowledge will be applied to the diatom
Phaeodactylum tricornutum, which will be subject to industrial
research for the biotechnological production of biofuels. With
complementary competences acquired in specialised workshops, the ESRs
trained in our network will emerge as highly qualified scientists
experienced in interdisciplinary collaborations. Exposure to research
in the private sector and training in an industrial environment will
stimulate their creativity and enhance their entrepreneurial spirit,
thus optimising their perspectives on the European job market in
academia, industry and beyond. Our research activities will have a
long-term impact supporting the optimisation of crop productivity and
the development of cost-effective strategies for algal biofuel
production.
