Scientific Top Training in Antimicrobial Research

Objective

The Amsterdam Institute for Molecules, Medicines and Systems (AIMMS, www.aimms.vu.nl) offers an innovative selection
procedure for international Top Master's Students to train a new generation of top scientists who can contribute to solving
the problem of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases.
A multitude of microbes, and their resistance in particular, threaten the health of European citizens and the community
worldwide. For 'attacking' the bugs involved, we need new multidisciplinary approaches and strategies, including
translational thinking all the way from molecule to man. This requires the training of a new breed of excellent young
scientists, familiar with the whole scope of drug discovery and development, ADME and safety, systems biology,
microbiology and molecular biology.

The current Dutch NWO AIMMS STAR programme educates these future experts, combining at least two of these fields and
the translational context. This enables implementation of state of the art techniques into new strategies and approaches to
beat antimicrobial threats, such as the recent Ebola epidemic.

With the aid of the proposed MSCA-COFUND, the AIMMS STAR programme can be extended internationally with four additional PhD positions resulting in an established international AIMMS STAR PLUS programme, with a dedicated, open
selection procedure for top-talented MSc- / PhD-students from across Europe.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
