Systems Sciences

Objective

With the advance of computer technology and the success of high-throughput "-omics" research in life sciences, the in silico modelling of complex biological processes has become a distinct scientific vision. In the first place, the USA and Japan have launched ambitious research initiatives to support the convergence of both technology fields into a new discipline called systems biology (SB). In the next decades, SB will contribute to new key enabling technologies in the bio-industry that will give rise to more individualized and multi-component biomedicines, computer-aided drug screening, more sophisticated animal and plant breeding programmes, etc.
In contrast to other life science areas, programme funding in SB is very young in Europe and still fragmented, but nevertheless ready for restructuring. Thus, ERASysBio aims at:
- Cooperation/coordination of SB-relevant national programme (part)s in 12 partner countries; 3 other countries that do not yet have a running activity are affiliated;
- Internal market for SB with improved mobility of knowledge, resources, personnel, etc.
- SB research & training agenda as part of a European research policy;
- Strengthen Europee's competiveness in life sciences by exploiting the SB approach;
The consortium consists of senior programme managers of the leading public funding bodies, who will - in interaction with high-level scientists, industry, and other stake-holders - address among others:
- Knowledge exchange on programme content and implementation;
- Inventory of research and training sites;
- Analysis of cooperation potentials and new challenges;
- Joint innovation strategy to stimulate economic exploitation;
- Contractual & legal framework for a transnational funding scheme;
- Joint team of administrative personnel for executing transnational activities;
- Transnational funding programme (two funding rounds with the early pilot call SysMo);
- Perspectives for international cooperation;
- SB science & society.

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: The European Science Vocabulary.

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.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

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.
