Description du projet
Libérer le potentiel de recherche pour un centre d’excellence en nutrigénomique
L’Institut de la reproduction animale et de la recherche alimentaire de l’Académie polonaise des sciences (IARFR PAS) mène des recherches interdisciplinaires consacrées aux impacts environnementaux sur le bien-être des hommes et des animaux. Le projet WELCOME2, financé par l’UE, permettra d’améliorer le potentiel de recherche de l’institut et d’assurer sa pleine participation à l’Espace européen de la recherche (EER). Dans le cadre de ce projet, un chercheur possédant de grandes qualités de leadership (titulaire d’une chaire EER) et un groupe de recherche seront employés à temps plein par l’IARFR PAS pour diriger des recherches interdisciplinaires qui poseront les bases d’un centre d’excellence en nutrigénomique dédié à l’optimisation de la santé et du bien-être. L’objectif général du projet s’inscrit dans le cadre des spécialisations intelligentes régionales et nationales et des défis sociétaux du programme Horizon 2020, le deuxième pilier d’Horizon Europe: Problématiques mondiales et compétitivité industrielle européenne.
Objectif
The main objective of WELCOME2 is to upgrade, extend and unlock the research potential of Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research to achieve excellence on sustainable basis and fully participate in ERA. An outstanding researcher with high leadership skills (ERA Chair holder) and her/his group will be permanently employed at IARFR to lead interdisciplinary research that will lay grounds to Centre of Excellence in nutrigenomics for optimising health and well-being. ERA Chair is envisaged as a Deputy Director for Science at Institute’s new premises after their construction is completed. In parallel, we will implement SWOT-driven structural changes for responsible research and effective science management. Introduction of internal policies on GLP, OA, ODM and ethics will make IARFR a competitive and credible ERA-recognised centre. Upgraded HR unit will underpin proficient execution of C&C principles and OTM-R values, fostering ERA priorities of gender equality, research freedom and training, and thus increase Institute’s attractiveness for excellent mobile researchers. Under Chair’s guidance we will advance our research management/administrative skills and improve Institute's capacity to compete successfully for international funds. WELCOME2 received support from authorities, industry and research stakeholders, and demonstrates a strong synergy with European Structural Investment Funds. Project’s impacts feed into regional and national smart specializations, as well as Horizon2020 Societal Challenges, HorizonEurope Pillar2 Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness and UN Sustainable Development Goals. We will disseminate WELCOME2 outcomes to external stakeholders in open trainings, scientific seminars and Knowledge Arena Workshops, and this way modify research and innovation landscape of region and country. To maintain all research-related policies and favourable working conditions beyond project completion a Sustainability Plan was prepared.
