 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The aim of the NBIPI Career Enhancement and Mobility Programme (CEMP) is to support experienced fellows at various stages of their career in attaining and strengthening their career prospects to become independent investigators or senior scientists in education or industry. Within the remit of the National Biophotonics Imaging Platform Ireland (NBIPI), the CEMP will fund and support research fellows wishing to undertake interdisciplinary research and training programmes in biophotonics and imaging. The CEMP will offer a combination of incoming and outgoing fellowships. The fellowship duration will range from 6-24 months and outgoing fellowships will include a mandatory reintegration phase. A 24 month incoming fellowship can include a re-integration phase of max 12 months in the Institution of origin. Training activities will include not only training-through-research under supervision by means of an individual personalized project but also in the following skill areas: • Hands-on training activities for developing scientific and complementary skills (to include proposal preparation for grant funding, patent applications, project management, tasks coordination, technical staff supervision) • Management of the transfer of knowledge and intellectual property • Capacity to build collaborations • Scientific and financial management of the research project The programme will also address the training requirement in team leadership and management. The NBIPI context of the proposed fellowship programme will offer research fellows the opportunity to carry out the research project of their choice in state of the art research facilities and to enhance their scientific and technical skills through a broad selection of training modules.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A lack of qualified researchers in the area of biophotonics has prompted the EU to join forces with industry leaders in order to enhance mobility and career projects in the field.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

At the crossroads of biology and the study of light, the field of biophotonics has emerged as a crucial determinant for advancing applications in medicine, life science, agriculture and environmental science.

The National Biophotonics Imaging Platform Ireland (NBIPI) represents a consortium of laboratories in the field that has been furthering the topic, especially in imaging for life sciences. Building on this, the EU-funded project 'The NBIPI career enhancement mobility programme' (CEMP) helped experienced academicians or fellows to become scientists or educators in biophotonics.

Under the NBIPI, the project-funded fellows were exposed to interdisciplinary research and training programmes in imaging and biophotonics through an elaborate post-doctoral fellowship programme. Efforts in this direction were launched at a conference in March 2009 which eventually led to awarding 16 fellowships ranging from 1- 2 years in duration.

CEMP provided training in the field, focusing as well on leadership and management. To this end, the fellows participated in a leadership and management development programme (LMDP) to help them succeed as managers and planners of research programmes.

In other words, the training covered development of not only scientific skills but complementary ones such as grant funding, technical staff supervision, patent applications and project management. It also included management of knowledge transfer, intellectual property issues, building collaboration and financial management.

Noteworthy is that the project enabled fellows to conduct the kind of research that they were more interested in, providing them with cutting-edge infrastructure to do so. All the initiatives, facilities and training of LMDP are tailored to produce a new generation of very able researchers in the field of biophotonics.
