Descripción:

The aim of the call is to facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address important questions regarding ethical, philosophical, legal and socio-cultural aspects related to the neurosciences and their recent advances, to provide scientific knowledge for an informed debate in science and society, evaluate opportunities and risks associated with technological and methodological progress and to expand the general knowledge base.

Funded projects may address, but are not limited to the following exemplary thematic fields:

  1. the consequences of the development of neuroscientific diagnostic methods
  2. issues in clinical research with patients suffering from neurological or psychiatric diseases
  3. intelligent technologies and close human-machine interaction
  4. biobanking of neural tissue
  5. use of brain data; brain interventions in legal contexts
  6. the impact of modern neuroscience on traditional philosophical questions, concepts and theories regarding fundamental aspects of human nature
  7. neuroenhancement such as alteration of mental states (cognitive, affective) and abilities
  8. abnormal behaviour reduced to deviant brain states
  9. societal and cultural changes induced by neuroscientific knowledge and its application
  10. responsible research an innovation in neurotechnology and neuroscience.

All scientific disciplines and stakeholders, which are relevant for the specific ELSA-research question, should be integrated. This could be for instance experts from the fields of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, informatics, engineering, philosophy, theology, law, social sciences, cultural studies or healthcare economy.

Requisitos

Joint transnational research proposals may be submitted by research teams working in universities (or other higher education institutions), non-university public research institutes, hospitals and other health care settings, as well as in commercial companies, particularly small and medium-size enterprises.

The eligibility of the afore-mentioned institutions, together with details of eligible costs (e.g., personnel, material, consumables, travel money, investments), are subject to the administrative requirements of individual funding organizations and will therefore differ.

Only transnational projects will be funded.

Each consortium submitting a proposal must be comprised of a minimum of two research groups from two different countries eligible for funding by organizations listed in the call text. Not more than two research groups can be from the same country. The total number of research groups in a consortium must not exceed five, including partners participating with their own expenses.

Each consortium should have the critical mass to achieve ambitious scientific goals and should clearly demonstrate added value from working together. Each consortium must nominate a coordinator who represents the consortium externally and is responsible for its internal management. The consortium coordinator must be eligible for funding by one of the organizations listed in this call text.
