EU funding helps bridge gap between 'blue sky' research and the market
|
Ricerca fondamentale: più vicina al mercato grazie a fondi dell’UE
|
2 |
'Blue sky’ basic science is focused on advancing knowledge, but it can sometimes generate unexpected applications.
|
La ricerca di base, detta anche ricerca fondamentale, ha come obiettivo primario l’avanzamento della conoscenza, ma i suoi risultati possono avere ricadute applicative inaspettate.
|
3 |
That is why the European Research Council (ERC) provides top-up funding, 'Proof of Concept', for its grant holders to bring their pioneering work closer to market.
|
È per questo motivo che il Consiglio europeo della ricerca (CER) eroga finanziamenti aggiuntivi, a titolo dell’iniziativa “Proof of Concept”, per aiutare i borsisti già titolari di una sovvenzione CER ad avvicinare al mercato le loro ricerche pionieristiche.
|

The final results of the latest grant competition for this funding were announced today:
|
I risultati finali dell’ultima gara per l’aggiudicazione di questi finanziamenti sono stati annunciati oggi:
|
5 |
a total of 67 leading researchers, who already hold ERC grants, have received up to €150,000 each.
|
67 ricercatori di primo piano, già assegnatari di sovvenzioni CER, hanno ricevuto fino a 150 000 euro a testa.
|
6 |
The projects cover everything from an exploration of the molecular foundations of psychiatric disorders to technological innovations that could help rescue skiers caught in avalanches, or measure extreme waves (more information on projects here).
|
I progetti riguardano i più svariati ambiti: studio delle basi molecolari dei disturbi psichiatrici, innovazioni tecnologiche per soccorrere gli sciatori rimasti vittime di valanghe, misurazione delle onde anomale, ecc. (ulteriori informazioni sui progetti sono disponibili qui).

|
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, Commissaria europea per la ricerca, l’innovazione e la scienza, ha dichiarato:
|
8 |
“The funding announced today will help turn ideas into innovation.
|
“I finanziamenti annunciati oggi aiuteranno a convertire le idee in innovazioni.
|
9 |
The ERC Proof of Concept grants encourage a new type of thinking amongst researchers, backing them to make the most of their blue sky research.
|
L’iniziativa “Proof of Concept” del CER promuove l’acquisizione di una nuova mentalità da parte dei ricercatori, sostenendoli affinché possano trarre il massimo dalle proprie attività di ricerca di base.
|
10 |
This mindset will help European recovery and improve our quality of life.”
|
Il nuovo atteggiamento mentale contribuirà alla ripresa in Europa, oltre a migliorare la qualità della nostra vita”.
|
11 |
The Proof of Concept funding can cover activities aimed at commercial and societal applications, such as establishing intellectual property rights, investigating commercial and business opportunities or technical validation.
|
I finanziamenti “Proof of Concept” possono essere erogati a favore di attività intese a realizzare applicazioni commerciali e sociali, ad esempio il conferimento di diritti di proprietà intellettuale, la ricerca di possibili sbocchi commerciali o la conduzione di convalide tecniche.
|
12 |

22 |
A single grant can be worth up to €150,000.
|
Il finanziamento per ciascuna borsa di ricerca può arrivare a 150 000 euro.
|
23 |
The call is open to all Principal Investigators benefitting from an on-going ERC grant or a grant that ended less than twelve months before the publication date of the call.
|
L’invito è aperto a tutti i ricercatori beneficiari di una sovvenzione CER ancora in corso o il cui progetto è terminato dodici mesi prima della data di pubblicazione del bando.
|
24 |
The funding is for up to 18 months per project.

La durata massima del finanziamento è di 18 mesi per ciascun progetto.
|
25 |
Set up in 2007 by the EU, the European Research Council is the first pan-European funding organisation for frontier research. It aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age.
|
Il Consiglio europeo della ricerca, istituito nel 2007 dall’Unione europea, è la prima organizzazione paneuropea destinata a finanziare la ricerca di frontiera e a promuovere l’eccellenza scientifica in Europa mettendo in concorrenza i ricercatori migliori e più creativi di ogni età e nazionalità per ottenere finanziamenti.
|
26 |
The ERC also strives to attract top researchers from anywhere in the world to come to Europe. The ERC operates according to an "investigator-driven", or "bottom-up", approach, allowing researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research.
|
Il CER mira inoltre ad attrarre in Europa i migliori ricercatori del mondo e opera sulla base di un approccio “dal basso” che coinvolge i ricercatori consentendo loro di identificare nuove possibilità in qualsiasi campo della ricerca.
|
27 |
Since its launch, the ERC has funded over 4,500 frontier research projects throughout Europe and has become a "benchmark" for excellent research.
|
Dalla sua nascita il CER ha finanziato oltre 4 500 progetti di ricerca di frontiera in tutta Europa ed è diventato un “punto di riferimento” per l’eccellenza scientifica.
|
28 |
From 2007 to 2013, as part of the seventh EU Research Framework Programme (FP7), the ERC's budget was €7.5 billion.
|
Dal 2007 al 2013, nell’ambito del Settimo programma quadro di ricerca dell’UE (7° PQ), il bilancio del CER è stato di 7,5 miliardi di euro.
