The European Research Council (ERC) provides funding for frontier research projects through two main grant schemes: the ERC Starting Grant and ERC Advanced Grant. The grants aim to attract and retain excellent researchers in Europe, increase competition and recognition of European science, and raise the level of basic research. Researchers of any nationality can apply for grants if their host institution is located in an EU Member State or Associated Country. Evaluation is solely based on research excellence, with all fields of science, engineering and scholarship eligible. The ERC budget is pre-allocated across broad research domains but evaluation is performed by peer review panels in each domain.

This document discusses the relationship between science journals, newspapers, and their influence on public perceptions and policy. It notes that preliminary or overly positive results reported in the media can raise false hopes in patients. It emphasizes the need for scientists and researchers to provide full context and limitations when presenting their findings to journalists. Accurate and balanced reporting is important to avoid misinforming the public or policymakers.
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from geese flying in V-formation. It notes that flying in V-formation allows geese to fly 71% farther than alone due to drafting. It provides five lessons: 1) working as a group towards a shared goal is more effective, 2) unity and synchrony make the journey easier, 3) leadership and tasks should be shared, 4) encouragement and support increase progress, and 5) being united and supportive during difficulties strengthens the group. The overall message is that working together as a team in the manner of flying geese can make life simpler and more enjoyable.

The document discusses several key points about management systems and technological solutions:
1) It warns against setting overly ambitious project deadlines and emphasizes the importance of paying attention to market signals and choosing the right tools for each situation.
2) It acknowledges that while technological solutions are unavoidable, the difficulties people have with them must be addressed, such as through training and support.
3) It encourages being innovative, seizing opportunities, believing in yourself, and not giving up even when facing challenges, pressures, and when things do not go as planned.

The document discusses the European Research Council (ERC) and its role in enhancing transatlantic collaboration in research and innovation. It provides details on the ERC's structure, funding schemes, and achievements to date. Some key points include:
- The ERC supports individual researchers and teams through competitive "bottom-up" grants without predetermined research topics.
- Major funding schemes include Starting and Advanced Grants of up to €2-3.5 million for 5 years to attract early-career and established researchers.
- Over 2,500 projects have been funded across 27 countries totaling €4 billion, with around 50% of grants going to the top 15 European universities.

The document discusses the European Research Council (ERC), established by the European Commission. It aims to reinforce excellence in research, stay ahead in scientific and technological competition, link science to innovation, compete for talent, and encourage greater investment. The ERC provides long-term funding for excellent investigators and their teams to pursue high-risk/high-reward frontier research. It is independent, supports individual researchers rather than consortia, and uses scientific quality as the sole criterion for funding. The ERC has funded over 9,000 projects, attracted over 60,000 researchers, and awarded several top prizes including multiple Nobel Prizes to grantees for their breakthrough research achievements.

This document discusses the potential for vaccines to serve global health and outlines Rino Rappuoli's talk on this topic. It notes that vaccines have allowed people to live longer and have been a paradigm of research in service of global health. New technologies over the last 30 years have made possible vaccines that were previously difficult or impossible. These include conjugate vaccines, reverse vaccinology, adjuvants, and synthetic biology.
Clinical trials are essential for testing new medical treatments and ensuring their safety and efficacy. They involve dividing patients into groups that receive either an experimental treatment or the standard treatment in a controlled manner. The clinical trial process is carefully designed and regulated to obtain reliable results while protecting patients' rights and well-being. Large numbers of patients are needed to statistically prove whether a new treatment is better or worse than existing options. While new therapies may help future patients, there are no guarantees of success or improvement, so participation in clinical trials always involves some unknown risks.
Scientific research in China has grown significantly in recent decades due to support from the Chinese government. The government has invested billions in research programs and developing universities as hubs for industry and academic collaboration. This has led to achievements like China sequencing the rice genome in 2002 at the Beijing Genomic Institute. The team of over 100 scientists published the draft genome sequence in Science, establishing China as a leader in genomic sequencing. Additionally, China is conducting extensive research on genetically modified plants for applications like increasing nutrition, crop hardiness, and producing vaccines and industrial chemicals. One breakthrough was the development of "Golden Rice" engineered to produce beta-carotene by researchers in Switzerland and China.

Il consumo energetico è la questione del futuro. Dipendiamo sempre più da fonti di energia che scarseggiano. D'altro canto il consumo di energia ha influenze drammatiche sui cambiamenti climatici. E' necessario affrontare la questione della riduzione dei consumi, soprattuto nel settore delle comunicazioni. Qui presentati e analizzati i consumi della telefonia mobile e del network.
- TP53 somatic mutations are frequent in many types of human cancer, occurring in approximately 50% of cancers.
- The TP53 gene encodes the p53 protein, which functions as a tumor suppressor by inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Mutations in TP53 lead to a non-functional or dominant negative "mutant p53" protein (mp53).
- The study found that mp53 can bind to and activate the promoter of the ID4 gene, inducing its expression. ID4 is involved in processes like cell proliferation, differentiation and angiogenesis.

The document discusses the relationship between universities and industry in the United States. It notes that federal research support is shifting to more industrial and private support. This represents a sea change in research funding models. The document advocates for organizing university research around "grand challenges" and "use-inspired basic research," with energy and health cited as examples. It also discusses models of collaborative research between universities, government and industry.
