Description

Three kinds of initiative will be fund in the context of this call:

A. Co-development of innovative technologies and methods

This call has been designed to set up innovative/disruptive technologies which will benefit the Life Science community. We will fund exclusively collaborations between:

At least one academic research team from the Region Ile de France working on the creation & development of devices or methods, according to the 3 Core Technologies of the DIM (Microfluidics, Biophotonics and waves, Image analysis and Big Data)

AND

At least one academic research team from the Region Ile de France in biology, within the application axis of the DIM ELICIT (see section 6)

More details on the full description of the call.

B. Dissemination of new technologies or methods for new applications in Life Sciences (noncommercial methods and/or instruments)

This call has been designed to support the establishment of competitive technology platforms and to introduce relevant prototypes in biological research environments.

We will fund collaborations between:

At least one academic research team or academic technologic platform from the region Ile de France working on the creation of devices or methods, according to the 3 Core technologies of the DIM (Microfluidics, Biophotonics and waves, Image analysis and Big Data). This team – the “Technology Team” – will set up an innovative instrument and will lead the action of dissemination;

AND

At least 2 additional academic research teams -“Application teams”- from the region Ile de France working on applied biology which will demonstrate the competitive advantages brought by the new technology/methods for their research. The research should fit in the scope of one of the 4 End-user applications axis of the DIM ELICIT.

More details on the full description of the call.

C. Provide technologic platforms with prototyping/manufacturing devices to develop new innovative technologies for research in Life Sciences

This call has been designed to purchase pertinent prototyping/manufacturing devices that will allow research teams to design projects in Life sciences through original and innovative technologic components. We will fund collaborations between:

At least one academic technologic/microfabrication platform from the region Ile de France working on the creation of devices or methods, according to one of the 3 Core technologies of the DIM (Microfluidics, Biophotonics and waves, Image analysis and Big Data). This team – the “Fabrication Team” – will set up a prototyping/manufacturing device and will lead the action of design/production;

AND

At least 3 additional academic research teams -“User teams”- from the region Ile de France working on developing technologies for biology which will demonstrate the competitive advantages brought by the device for their research. The research should fit in the scope of one of the 4 End-user applications axis of the DIM ELICIT (see section 6).
