JPIAMR recognises a need to reinforce alignment of AMR research. To promote this, the JPIAMR will establish a Virtual Research Institute in AMR – a global network connecting research performing organisations, including institutes, centres, and infrastructures.
In partnership with ten member countries; Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, JPIAMR is launching the 8th joint call for transnational Networks. The total budget of the call is approximately 1.1 million Euro. This Network Call “Building the Foundation of the JPIAMR Virtual Research Institute” aims to identify research community needs and develop ideas to form the foundation for the JPIAMR-VRI. Networks of motivated groups should develop catalytic ideas and strategic plans to help bring the JPIAMR-VRI to life!
Up to 22 Networks will be funded with up to €50 000 each coordinator to connect experts from research performing organisations and establish expertise clusters in the AMR community. The formation of larger, multi-coordinator Networks is possible according to national rules. This is an ERA-NET JPI-EC-AMR additional activity. Note that JPIAMR Network calls do not fund research projects.
Call procedure
The JPIAMR-VRI Network Call has a one-step procedure. The final funding decision will be announced in October / November 2018.
Deadline
The proposal submission deadline is July 4th, 2018, (17.00 CET).
