Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: ITN Info Day

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions - Innovative Training Networks (MSCA-ITN) scheme supports competitively selected joint research training and/or doctoral programmes, implemented by European partnerships of universities, research institutions, and non-academic organisations, including SMEs. The research training programmes provide excellent research skills, coupled with experience outside academia, hence developing innovation and employability skills.

The Info Day aims to provide participants with an overview of the ITN scheme, including two success stories – from the academic and non-academic sectors. Participants should gain a clear understanding of the proposal format and the key issues relating to planning, writing and submitting proposals by the ITN Call Coordinator Dr. Audrey Arfi, and by an experienced evaluator Dr. Hanne Volpin and MSCA NCP. There will also be ample opportunity to ask questions, during the sessions and at the breaks.
The Info Day is aimed at academic and non-academic organisations, including industry, that are planning to participate in the 2020 ITN Call.

Where: The Einstein Hall, Israel Innovation Authority, Derech Agudat Sport Hapoel 1, Jerusalem, ISRAEL
When: 26/11/2019 at 09:30 - 13:30

Other Activities

 

The Data Science Research Center at Ben-Gurion University
Internal Call for Proposals

The Data Science Research Center at Ben-Gurion University focuses on encouraging theoretical and practical research in the fields of data mining, machine learning, and Big Data, as well as the use of tools from these fields for various applications. 
The center was established in April 2018 and in October 2019, the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC/"VATAT") approved the establishment of the center as part of the Council of Higher Education ("MALAG") support program.

This Call contains two funding schemes:
1. Core Scheme - Supporting cooperation between the core fields of the data sciences. This track is intended for projects involving researchers from at least two different core fields of data sciences.  
2. Shell Scheme - Expanding the capabilities of data scientists working mainly in other fields via encouragement of new interdisciplinary and cross-domain cooperation. This track is intended for projects involving researchers from at least one data science related field.

Note:  All matching funds (at least 28% of the desired amount for the grant) is is to come from the Faculty and/or the Department budgets rather than the researcher's personal budgets.
