Project description
Promoting innovation excellence in biological sciences in Latvia
The Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS) is a state research institute in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical research, molecular biology, and bioorganic chemistry. The EU-funded Natalion project will establish the Natural Products Research (NPR) group and implement the LIOS Innovation Hub as a complementary structure to promote the innovation excellence of LIOS. Concerning the NPR group, the project will compose the research directions focusing on new technologies and products and integrate its activities into internal and external collaborative projects. Natalion will increase competitiveness for the attraction of external research funding. Concerning the LIOS Innovation Hub and its integration into institutional, national, and EU ecosystems, the project will promote innovations and entrepreneurial culture.
Objective
The aim of Natalion is to foster innovation excellence of LIOS by the establishment of the Natural Products Research (NPR) group and implementation of the LIOS Innovation Hub as a complementary structural change. The introduction of new research strands and the structural changes will be achieved under the leadership of ERA Chair holder Dr. Stefano Donadio, an experienced Research and Innovation (R&I) professional.
Project objectives:
O1 Establishment of the NPR group, including its capacity build-up;
O2 Setting up the research directions of the NPR group with a focus on new technologies and products;
O3 Integration of activities of the NPR group into internal and external collaborative projects including 3I mobility;
O4 Increase competitiveness for attraction of external research funding;
O5 Establishment of the LIOS Innovation Hub and its integration into institutional, national and EU ecosystems;
O6 Development of a motivating and inclusive institutional environment which fosters innovations and entrepreneurial culture;
O7 Enabling institutional compliance to ERA priorities and UN Sustainable Development Goals;
O8 Dissemination and exploitation of the results of the NPR group according to PEDR and a communication plan;
Establishing the NPR group, the international recruitment, as well as the development of environment, fostering innovations will nurture brain circulation for researchers and innovators. The establishment of the LIOS Innovation Hub and its integration into institutional, national and EU ecosystems will deliver institutional reforms with a focus on innovation. Setting up new research directions and integrating the NPR group into internal and external collaboration networks under the competent guidance of the ERA Chair will leverage excellence of R&I and increase the competitiveness for attraction of external research funding. Better communication of R&I results to society will be achieved by Dissemination and Exploitation of the project results.
