Apply Now to Get Enhanced Support as Coordinator for your Horizon Europe RIA(IA) proposal
by Päivi Tomperi 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Apply Now to Get Enhanced Support as Coordinator for your Horizon Europe RIA(IA) proposal Pillar II funds top-down Research and Innovation activities of large consortia. Pillar II is organised in six clusters, which individually and together will promote interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, cross-policy, cross-border and international cooperation: 1. Health; 2. Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Societies; 3. Civil Security for Society; 4. Digital, Industry & Space; 5. Climate, Energy and Mobility; and 6. Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment. A consortium is comprised of at least 3 partners from 3 different countries. This includes partners coming from member states and/or associated countries. However, usually a larger consortium is expected. Research and project services offer enhanced support for researchers, who plan to coordinate a Research and Innovation Action (RIA) or an Innovation Action (IA) proposal in Horizon Europe calls (Clusters 1-6) with a deadline in spring 2024 (January-June). The support is intended for applicants, who have prior experience from the Horizon Framework programme or similar (e.g. having been a partner of a Horizon project or having been involved in proposal preparation) but have never coordinated a proposal before. The support consists of training, support in proposal writing (call analysis, impact and implementation, open science, DMP, gender), budgeting and graphic design. Also, a small salary fund for the PI or an assisting researcher is available and external services for proposal review can be provided (subject to the availability of strategic funds). All researchers planning to submit a proposal for the Horizon Europe RIA calls in spring 2024 (January-July) as coordinators can express their interest to be included in the support process by answering a short Webropol questionnaire<https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/2766B2C7C2F6A7BF> by Friday 29.9.2023. All information provided will be kept confidential. The applicants selected for the support process commit themselves to participate in the support process for the proposal preparation and submit their final proposal to a call in 2024. Selected applicants will be invited to a kick-off meeting to go through the support process and schedule in October 2023. Selection will be made based on the availability of services and the readiness level of the proposal preparation.

Lab coats outside B233
by Samuel Lam 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Dear all, There are several lab coats hanging outside the office B233 (opposite to the printing room near the coffee room) for quite some time. I think it might be the best to keep the lab coats downstair in the lab and am planning to send them downstair to wash by next Friday (8th Sept). If you have your personal lab coat hanging outside B233, would you mind checking them out or drop me an email telling me what you want to do if you are in absent until next Friday? If else, I will send them to the lab and they will be in the shared lab coats cupboard. Cheers, Sam Nok Ting Lam, Samuel

28 Aug '23

Hei, The university has published guidelines for the use of AI in education<https://patio.oulu.fi/en/services-and-instructions/education-services/educa…> in the intranet Patio (accessible for staff only). I searched the guidelines from the university's open web pages, but couldn't find them, so students don't yet know about the guidelines. Best wishes, Lumi

FYI: Invoicing extra hours of teaching
by Lumi Viljakainen 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hei, HR has provided new instructions<https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/henkilosto/palkat-ja-palkkiot/o…> for invoicing extra hours of teaching, i.e. if your teaching hours exceed what has been agreed on the work plan. It is noteworthy that "The compensation shall be paid based on an hourly wage, which can be calculated by dividing the employee's annual salary with the number 1600. The employee and the line manager cannot agree on a different wage, as the collective agreement dictates the compensation.". Best wishes, Lumi
