De siste signalene fra forskningsrådet indikerer at de vil gjøre store forandringer i hvordan de håndterer søknader om forskningsmidler. Dette inkluderer en omorganisering av utlysninger, endringer i søknadsformater, evalueringsprosessen, datoer og lignende. Den 10. oktober vil være den siste fristen som bruker det gamle systemet, hvor man bl.a. kan søke om støtte til kommersielle verifiseringsprosjekter. Dette programmet kan være svært relevant om du har forskningsresultater med et kommersielt potensiale, men har gjenstående spørsmål og usikkerheter som hindrer kommersialisering. Det er her også viktig å notere at kommersialiseringsprosjekter skal være kommersielt rettet og drevet, og ikke forskningsdrevet.
Utlysningen er delt inn i to varianter. Et milepælsprosjekt kan være et bedre alternativ om du har et prosjekt som krever en rask avklaring og hvor positive resultater av de mest kritiske milepælene kan legge fundamentet for et mer standard kommersialiseringsprosjekt. Milepælprosjekter varer opp til 1 år og har et mer begrenset omfang. Prosjekter som søker om under NOK 500 000 vil automatisk bli vurdert som et milepælsprosjekt.
Du kan også delta i idékonkurransen som presenteres av Sparebanken Vest og BTO hvor du kan vinne NOK 500 000 til å videreutvikle en lovende kommersiell idé. Denne konkurransen ble i 2016 vunnet av Professor Kamal Mustafa fra Institutt for klinisk odontologi for hans forskning på rekonstruksjon av humane beinstrukturer.[:en]The latest information we have received from the research council of Norway, suggests that they will drastically change their funding application system including; changing the organization of calls, templates, evaluation process, dates, etc. Before full implementation of the new systems, the 10 October will be the last deadline using the current system for new commercial proof-of-concept projects. If you have research results with commercial potential but have unresolved questions and uncertainties that are preventing the project from moving forward in the commercialization process, this program could be relevant. What is important to keep in mind is that proof-of-concept projects should not be research-driven but rather business-driven.
The announcement is divided into two parts. If you have a project requiring rapid clarification of the most critical milestones where positive results can lay the foundation for a standard commercialization project, then a milestone project could be a more appropriate alternative. A milestone project lasts up to a maximum of 1 year with a more limited scope. Projects seeking up to NOK 500 000 will automatically be assessed as milestone projects.
You can also attend the Idea Competition presented by Sparebanken Vest and BTO and win 500 000 NOK to further develop a promising commercial idea. In 2016, the competition was won by Professor Kamal Mustafa from the Department of Clinical Dentistry for his research on reconstruction of human bones.[:]

[:no](English) CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium at September 27th[:en]CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium at September 27th[:]
We are happy to announce the program of the forthcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium at September 27th, where a highlight will be the inspirational lecture by Bruce Baguley, a visiting professor from the University of Auckland. Professor Baguley is a distinguished researcher and a motivating lecturer. His research interests include anticancer drug development with emphasis on multidisciplinary and translation approaches. You should definitely not miss this opportunity.
In addition, we will hear from CCBIO PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers, who will present ongoing projects in the CCBIO sphere. Topics to be discussed will cover the use of automated clustering to explore CyTOF data , reprogramming of gene regulation in prostate cells, how miRNA can be utilized as prognostic markers in colorectal cancer, as well as a discussion on policy visions of personalised medicine.
This is an excellent forum for discussing research, learning about how different and similar many ongoing projects are to your own, and to network with fellow PhD students, postdocs and other colleagues in our research community. Lunch is included.
Time: Thursday September 27th 2018, at 10.00-13.30.
Where: Conference room BBB (3^rd floor, across the hall from the auditoria)
