On 27 October 2017, the European Commission presented the final Work Programme for Horizon 2020, covering the budgetary years 2018, 2019 and 2020 and representing an investment of around €30 billion.
ERC Advanced Grants support ground-breaking, ambitious research projects of excellent established Principal Investigators with a recognised track record of research achievements. Up to €2.5 million (in certain circumstances up to €3.5 million) are available for projects of up to 5 years duration.
The aim of Spark is to fund projects that show unconventional thinking and introduce a unique approach. The focus is on promising ideas of high originality, relying on no or very little preliminary data. The call closes July 17, 2019.

Bisher wurde vermutet, dass verschiedene Hirnregionen für das Einschlafen und Aufwachen zuständig sind. Nun haben Berner Neurowissenschaftlerinnen und -wissenschaftler entdeckt, dass eine einzelne Schaltzentrale im Gehirn den Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus steuert. Die Erkenntnisse sind von grosser Bedeutung für die Behandlung von Schlafstörungen und den damit verbundenen Krankheiten.
The first prize-winner is Prof. Annalisa Berzigotti, senior physician Hepatology at Inselspital Bern and group leader at the Department for BioMedical Research (DBMR) of the University of Bern.
A study by an international team of researchers from University Children’s Hospital Bern and the Autonomous University of Barcelona has discovered how the production of specific human sex hormones known as androgens is interrupted. These findings can help in development of new therapeutic approaches, as the overproduction of androgens is associated with many diseases including prostate cancer in men and polycystic ovary syndrome in women.
In fall semester 2018 the University of Bern will, for the second time, award the gender equality prize Prix Lux. The prize can be awarded to persons or university units that foster equality within the fields of gender or diversity.
Please hand in your proposals by 15 July 2018
