Aim of the joint call The aim of the call is to enable multi-national, collaborative research projects that will address the development and advancement in methods and technologies towards the understanding of the brain and its diseases. The scope of this call is not the funding of pure technology development per se. The focus of this call explicitly does not lie on the funding of infrastructure. Research projects have to be hypothesis-driven, combine cutting-edge technological developments with a clear, substantial research question. There is no sharp restriction concerning the specific technologies or methodologies used in the applications. These may include (without excluding others): Imaging techniques (including optical, MR and PET techniques), molecular and genetic approaches, stem cells and neural differentiation in relation with cell therapy, gene targeting in the brain, electrical and magnetic brain stimulation, and molecular modelling techniques.
