Descripción del proyecto
Ampliación de la formación sobre investigación en neumología
La Sociedad Respiratoria Europea (ERS, por sus siglas en inglés) es una organización internacional que reúne a médicos, profesionales sanitarios, científicos y otros expertos que trabajan en el ámbito de la neumología. Es una de las principales organizaciones en el ámbito respiratorio y cada vez cuenta con más miembros que representan a más de ciento sesenta países. Su cometido es fomentar la salud pulmonar con el fin de aliviar el sufrimiento de las enfermedades y establecer normas para la neumología a escala mundial. La ciencia, la educación y la promoción son el núcleo de todo lo que hace. RESPIRE4 pretende incorporar comentarios de trabajadores en prácticas y evaluaciones externas de programas similares desarrollados en el pasado con el objetivo de mejorar la promoción profesional, fomentar una mayor implicación con los pacientes, ayudar a los investigadores a reintegrarse a sus países de origen y mejorar la tasa de participación de los países infrarrepresentados.
Objetivo
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) is the largest society of lung clinicians and scientists in Europe, with a growing international membership (more than 30,000 currently) in more than 160 countries. Its mission is to promote lung health and to drive globally standards for respiratory medicine. Since 1997, ERS has operated a wide portfolio of fellowships, promoting transnational mobility and career development of researchers within respiratory science. This included three Marie-Sklodowska Curie COFUND programmes (two under FP7 and one under Horizon2020). ERS is now proposing to build on the success and best practice developed during previous RESPIRE programmes and on an already established network of more than 100 host centres, through a new, next-generation RESPIRE4 scheme. The latter introduces further added value and innovative elements compared to the past, building on fellows' feedback and the external evaluation of the previous RESPIRE programmes.
First of all, RESPIRE4 places major attention to flexibility for fellows via tailored secondment and extension schemes, notably in the non-academic sector. Second of all, the outreach and patient involvement components have been further strenghtened to enhance the impact of the programme. Third, a country coefficient criteria has been introduced to continue to attract the most promising researchers. Lastly, the programme integrates returnees from a career break as well as less represented countries (COFUND 2018 list) in its planning. RESPIRE Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellows will also benefit from extensive opportunities in terms of training and networking, notably via the ERS flagship events (Lung Science Conference & International Congress) and wider ERS network. Therefore, the proposed RESPIRE4 programme will contribute to foster the European Research Area by training the next generation of leaders in respiratory research, which remains significantly underfunded at European level.
