Description du projet
Former des scientifiques transdisciplinaires spécialisés dans le microbiome
Essentielle à la vie sur notre planète et au bien-être des organismes, la communauté microbiotique (les micro-organismes habitant un écosystème, ainsi que l’ensemble de leurs gènes) joue un rôle fondamental en influençant les flux métaboliques dans la biosphère. Le projet CRESCENDO, financé par l’UE, procédera au recrutement international de 10 chercheurs en début de carrière (CDC) qui participeront aux recherches et à la formation dans le domaine du microbiome. Cela se traduira par l’octroi d’un diplôme de doctorat reconnu au niveau mondial, qui améliorera les perspectives de carrière des CDC. Coordonné par le groupe de travail sur les études du microbiome de l’université Frédéric II de Naples (UNINA), le projet rassemblera les installations et l’expérience de plus de 150 chercheurs universitaires issus de 14 départements différents de l’UNINA, couvrant des domaines aussi divers que la biologie, les sciences alimentaires et agricoles, la chimie, l’ingénierie ou les sciences sociales.
Objectif
The microbiome is the community of microorganisms inhabiting an ecosystem along with all their genes and it plays a fundamental role in influencing the metabolic fluxes on the biosphere. Microbiome activity is essential for the life on our planet and the well-being of organisms, and research is attracting interest and investment from the industry worldwide. CRESCENDO Doctoral Programme will recruit 10 international Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who will be involved in research and training in the Microbiome field, leading to a worldwide appreciated PhD degree valuable in terms of ESR career perspectives. UNINA applies for the MSCA-COFUND-DP through its recently established Task Force on Microbiome Studies (www.tfm.unina.it) that combines facilities and experience of more than 150 Academic scientists from 14 different UNINA Departments in the areas of Biology, Medicine, Food and Agricultural Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Engineering and Social Sciences, thus representing an ideal trans-disciplinary environment to support training and research in the microbiome field. The Programme will benefit of the participation of 21 Partner Organizations (POs) including leading international companies that are stakeholders of the microbiome research and excellent non-academic research centres. Indeed, all ESRs will spend secondment periods abroad and at least 6 months in a non-academic PO, in full integration with their Microbiome-related activities. The POs will have a key role in achieving an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral (3-i) dimension of the DP. CRESCENDO would represent at this stage the only MSCA-COFUND project for a doctoral programme in Microbiome Science, developing trans-disciplinary Microbiome scientists with intersectoral and international experience and with a multidisciplinary scientific and technical background.
