The Granada Research of Excellence Initiative on BioHealth (GREIB) is a new created high-competitive project of the University of Granada (UGR) funded by the Campus of International Excellence of the Ministry of Science and Innovation (Class B, R+D+I – Top Research Areas).
GREIB main objective is to create a BioHealth framework in the city of Granada leading ultimately to the promotion of the UGR as an internaitonal reference in the BioHealth field. GREIB strategic plan features as a top priority the incorporation of all concerned stakeholders, comprising both public and private players, within the Granada area. The program supports omic workshops organized by at least two researchers of different BioHealth groups. The focus of the scheme is on meetings aiming to open up new directions in research or to explore emerging research fields with potential impact on different BioHealth researchers.
The aim of GREIB-OW is to encourage the collaboration between different BioHealth groups by bringing together researchers from different scientific areas in a common workshop.
The proposed workshops will explore new directions in research or emerging research fields with potential impact on different BioHealth groups.
The topics must be interdisciplinary and promote the transfer of knowledge between the BioHealth groups.
The workshops will be held between September 1 and December 31, 2011.
The award will be up to a maximum value of 10000 € per workshop.
In 2010 the deadline for applications is November 30. For the next year, a new call will be published
The applications will be evaluated by the GREIB Steering Committee.
