Descripción del proyecto
Un gran impulso para la investigación del microbioma
La microbiómica es una ciencia relativamente nueva, pero ha evolucionado con rapidez durante los últimos decenios. Con todo, hasta ahora solo se ha estudiado el 1 % de los microbiomas. En este contexto, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos INSPIRE ayudará a la próxima generación de líderes científicos a situarse a la cabeza de la investigación puntera del microbioma. En concreto, investigadores experimentados tendrán la oportunidad de diseñar proyectos de investigación intersectorial sobre el microbioma en los ámbitos conexos de los sistemas alimentarios o la salud, y se establecerán asociaciones intersectoriales para reunir a investigadores y profesionales. Además, el proyecto se propone desarrollar recursos y preparar las carreras profesionales de los investigadores para el futuro.
Objetivo
INSPIRE aims to cultivate the next generation of scientific leaders who are adaptable, systems thinkers at the forefront of leading microbiome research. Co-created with APC's industry and policy partners, ENSPIRE aims to support experienced researchers to take the next step in their careers by providing the opportunity to design intersectoral microbiome research projects in the interconnected areas of food systems or health that address pressing global challenges that align with APCs research expertise and tackling societal challenges outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ranging from Anti-microbial Resistance (AMR), Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) to Food Systems. A particular strength of the APC is its significant intersectoral and interdisciplinary partnerships with global industry, non-profits, regulators, policy decision makers and SMEs. Credible scientific solutions are increasingly needed for global challenges. INSPIRE aims to forge cross-sectoral partnerships by exposing researchers to practitioners, international networking, career development and leadership training. Research projects are ground up and fellows can freely select the research project, supervisor, and Irish academic host institution. Fellows will benefit from access to excellent researcher supervisors, cutting-edge infrastructure and robust bespoke coaching / mentoring. INSPIRE aims to develop human capital and future proof fellows careers. INSPIRE will provide fellows with personalised professional career development, mentoring and support to facilitate fellows to future proof careers and allow some of the brighest minds to achieve their career aspirations.
