Internationalisation of the Structural Biology Research Programme with Emphasis on New Directions in R&D
Identification: CZ.1.07/2.3.00/20.0042
Programme / Project Type: Operational Programme Education for Competitiveness - 2.3 Human resources in research and development
Project Period: 1.10. 2011 - 30.9. 2014
The amount of support: 39 810 782 CZK
MU Investigator: prof. RNDr. Vladimír Sklenář, DrSc.
Objectives of the project:
The aim of the project is to contribute to the development of human resources for the selected and newly built research directions of Structural Biology Program and their better integration into the European research area. The project focuses on strengthening the research teams in the areas of NMR spectroscopy, cryo-electron microscopy and bioinformatics. The main instruments to achieve the stated project objectives are:
- Hosting and reintegration of two key scientists from abroad, potential group leaders (Peter Lukavsky, University of Cambridge, UK; Lukáš Trantírek, Utrecht University, The Netherlands)
- Strengthening and directing existing research groups and expansion of the team by acquiring mainly foreign postdocs
- Promotion of international integration, cooperation and international mobility, including the organization of professional events with international participation
- Further training of human resources in R & D in areas not related to the scientific discipline
Key Activities (KA):
KA1: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)
Establishment of two new research groups led by two key scientists from abroad, strengthening the team by acquiring postdoctoral fellows from abroad, internationalization of the workplace and knowledge transfer.
KA2: Cryo-electron Microscopy and Tomography of Cellular Polymers
Establishing a new working group for cryo-electron microscopy and tomography, strengthening the team by acquiring postdoctoral fellows from abroad, internationalization of the workplace and knowledge transfer.
KA3: Bioinformatics, Chemoinformatics and Computational Chemistry
Establishment of a new bioinformatic research group, visits of experts and strengthening the team by acquiring a postdoctoral fellow from abroad, internationalization of the workplace and knowledge transfer.
KA4: Knowledge transfer to the target group and further education of the team members
Sharing knowledge and know-how transfer to the target group, international integration and increasing visibility of the CEITEC Structural Biology Program, developing competencies to support internationalization. The international conference „Integrated Approaches to Structural Biology“ will be organized within the frame of this Key Activity, detailed information HERE.
