Hi all,
About two months ago
we launched a call for the submission of project proposals, which you or
your collaborators might be interested in. The call is related to the
FET-Proactive Initiative: Dynamics of Multi-Level Complex Systems
(DyM-CS) (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/fet-proactive/dymcs_en.html
). As you can see from the site for the call, our intention is to
finance research towards "New mathematical and computational formalisms
on dynamics of multi-level systems developed and validated on real-world
applications involving large and heterogeneous data sets. This could
involve, for example, addressing emergence of and interactions between
scales, combining the concepts of ‘programmability’ and
‘self-organisation’, or addressing 'out of equilibrium’ considerations.
Priority application areas should present clearly defined challenges to
ICT and/or have a relevant user/social/economic component. Through these
areas, the complex systems science should be able to provide solutions
for current ICT systems or lay the foundations for new ICT paradigms.
For the validation, appropriate organizational structures should be
chosen, e.g. large socio-technological systems, complex biological
organisms or large organizations."
If you are in Europe,
you could start a consortium (or join one), which would prepare and
submit a project proposal - the deadline is January 17, 2012. In
relation to the call we will finance about five projects with an average
of 4 to 5 million euro each. For those of you who are in the US or some
other partner country, you may benefit from the so-called Coordination
Support Action (CSA), which will accompany DyM-CS and is devoted to
strengthening international cooperation. This means that scientists from
outside Europe could be supported financially (for short term visits or
participation in conferences) so they could work with their
collaborators in Europe.
Also, in relation to the call we are looking for evaluators of project proposals, again mostly from European institutions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the call or if you are interested in becoming an evaluator.
Best regards,
Roumen
