DESCRIPTION:All information on https://www.epfl.ch/research/domains/imagi
 ng/calls-for-project\n\nImaging is an interdisciplinary discipline that pl
 ays a central and ever-increasing role in science and engineering. To enco
 urage cross-fertilization between various disciplines and closer interacti
 ons between EPFL actors in imaging\, the EPFL Center for Imaging is launch
 ing its “Calls for Interdisciplinary Projects in Imaging”\, a series o
 f grants to support collaborative projects aimed at advancing imaging tech
 nology at EPFL.\n\nPurpose of the Grants\n\nThe grants aim at supporting r
 esearch collaborations that rely on an interdisciplinary approach to demon
 strate innovative new concepts in imaging.\n\nThe grants are of approximat
 ively 150kCHF each and must be shared by at least two EPFL labs for a max
 imum period of two years.\n\nThe grants must be used for the launching of 
 new research activities and/or the development of tools that can impact th
 e EPFL imaging community at large.\n\nEligibility Criteria for Application
 \n\nOnly members of EPFL research labs that are part of an ECI’s partner
  School (ENAC\, IC\, SB\, STI\, SV) can apply. Applicants must be employed
  as EPFL professors or senior scientists (MERs) for the full duration of t
 he project[1].\n\nThe proposal must involve at least two research groups t
 hat have complementary expertise. There is no requisite for the partner ap
 plicants to be from different EPFL Schools or Institutes\, although cross-
 school proposals and novel collaborations are strongly encouraged. Each ap
 plicant cannot submit more than one proposal per call as main applicant or
  as co-applicant.\n\nThe same consortium of applicants cannot submit the s
 ame idea to more than one of the following 2021 EPFL-wide calls: ECI Call 
 for Interdisciplinary Imaging Projects\, EPFL Science Seed Fund\, EPFL Pla
 tform Technical Advancement Seed Fund. \n\n[1] Adjunct professors / MERs
  who are not financially independent must provide a letter of commitment f
 rom their host professor or head of unit\, indicating that he/she 1) guara
 ntees the feasibility of the project for its full duration using the means
  of his/her unit\, and 2) takes administrative responsibility for all EPFL
  personnel financed by the project\, in particular with respect to any in
 duced cost or additional resources needed and not covered by the grant.\n\
 nEligible Costs\n\nEligible direct costs include and are limited to:\n\n	C
 osts for the personnel specifically hired for the project\;\n	Costs for th
 e acquisition of equipment and/or material that is key to the execution of
  the project and may benefit other members of the EPFL imaging community a
 fter the completion of the project\;\n	Other costs: direct costs of infras
 tructure use\, open research data costs\, open access publication costs\, 
 costs for project-related workshop(s) organization.\n\nEvaluation Criteria
 \n\nProposals will be evaluated by a scientific committee based on their s
 cientific quality\, their level of interdisciplinarity and innovation\, an
 d their relevance to the rest of the EPFL imaging community. A special att
 ention will be given to proposals that promote community-building through 
 events that involve the EPFL imaging community at large. \n\nThe scientif
 ic committee is composed of five EPFL faculty members who represent the va
 rious EPFL Schools and a diversity of imaging expertise. The committee wil
 l make the final decision on the projects to be funded.\n\nDeadlines: \n\
 n\n	Call opening: June 1\, 2021.\n	Application deadline: September 1\, 202
 1 (17:00 CET).\n	Decision: October 15\, 2021.\n	Start of Projects: Janua
 ry 1\, 2022 (for max. two years).\n\nSubmit your application form in PDF f
 ormat and the CVs of all applicants to imaging@epfl.ch by September 1\, 
 2021 (17:00 CET).\nAll forms can be downloaded on https://www.epfl.ch/res
