Dear all,
For everyone interested in light or fluorescence microscopy, there will be a demo for Leica THUNDER Tissue Imager at Ecology and Genetics RU molecular biology teaching lab B132 on next Wed 24.11 starting from 10:00. You can bring your own microscopic research samples with you for testing (on a microscope slide, mounted under coverslip).

Then, on Thursday 25.11 9:00-12:00 there will be a demo for Olympus BX63 Automated Fluorescence Microscope (also for normal light microscopy) at Biocenter Oulu Kieppi building 4th floor Seminar room 487B. Again you can bring your own research samples for testing, if interested. In the same space there’s also testing available for the new Olympus VS200 Research slide scanner that allows multiplexed and automated high-resolution scanning of several microscope slides at one go.

Arctic Interactions (ArcI) Research Opportunities - Second calls of AAC and HRHR programmes (DL 30.11.)
Arctic interactions (ArcI) is one of the research profile themes of the University of Oulu studying environmental change and human-environmental relationships in the Arctic and promoting sustainable development in the region. ArcI has now recruited a cohort of scientists in the multiple research units and is moving into the second half of the programme over the next three years. We have designed programme-based venues that have distinct goals and aims to grow UniOulu’s Arctic research profile.
We now open new calls for proposals for Advanced Arctic Collaboration (AAC) and High Risk High Reward (HR2) programmes at UniOulu.
* AAC programme supports the ArcI Tenure Professors through new collaborative projects between tenure professors and others (postdocs, senior research scientists, professors) within their Faculties and or across Faculties.
Maximum funding per project is 60 000€ for the year 2022. The funding must be used internally at the UOulu
See AAC call text and evaluation criteria.<https://patio.oulu.fi/en/media/3646/download?attachment>
* HRHR programme seeks to support exceptionally high-risk research endeavours that have the potential for extraordinarily high reward focused on the Arctic. These projects need to carry out studies that are way beyond the mainstream and are transformational to Arctic Science.
Maximum funding per project is 50 000€ for the year 2022 and it must be used internally at the UOulu. The funding can be applied by all researchers at different stages of their careers (postdocs, senior research scientists, professors).
See HRHR call text and evaluation criteria.<https://patio.oulu.fi/en/media/3647/download?attachment>
The applications must be submitted using the application form:
AAC: https://webropol.com/s/ArcI-AAC2 <https://webropol.com/s/ArcI-AAC2> (deadline 30 November at 23.59)
HRHR: https://webropol.com/s/ArcI-HRHR2 (deadline 30 November at 23.59)

Dear colleagues,
don’t forget today’s Biology Thursday seminar at 12:15 (online, link below) with Prof. Helena Freitas from the Centre for Functional Ecology, Univ. of Coimbra, Portugal, giving an overview on their Centre and their national and international projects:
The Centre for Functional Ecology – Science for People & the Planet (CFE) is a research unit hosted by the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. It brings together researchers with multidisciplinary interests in ecology related subjects, seeking to produce knowledge on global ecology and on ecosystem functioning, from microorganisms, plants, and fauna biodiversity to the ecological complexity of their interactions at the community, ecosystem, and evolutionary level. Also, there is a strong commitment to knowledge transfer to the public and to the productive sector, both locally and nationally, with particular emphasis on the sustainability of the territories and its communities.
Prof. Freitas is the coordinator of the Centre, and holds the UNESCO Chair in Biodiversity and Conservation for Sustainable Development at Univ. Coimbra. She has been involved in numerous large conservation programs and consortia, and held various positions of trust in international conservation and ecology organizations – this will certainly be a talk from the very center of where biologists apply their knowledge into crucial topics!
The talk will be chaired by Anna-Maria Pirttilä.
Have a nice seminar,
Heikki

***
Dear community members of Biodiverse Anthropocenes,
Research Hub ANT3 (Innovating Approaches and Methodologies) warmly welcomes you to its first event of the Where the Magic Happens-kind: a lab tour of the Archaeology bone lab where Heli Maijanen and Mathilde van den Berg will provide demonstrations and insights into methodologies and scientific tools involving human and animal osteology. Heli will discuss topics and give demonstrations on general biological profile, pathology, and trauma (focused on humans), and Mathilde will talk about and demonstrate on bone density, teeth, and general osteological measurements (focused on animals). After the tour we would like to invite everybody to join us for coffee/tea to share and discuss how one sees the (new) methodologies we have encountered during the tour overlapping or being useful in one's own field of study or discipline in general (and discussing new approaches).
Date: Thursday the 18th of November
Time: 15:00 till 16:45
Location: We meet in front of the osteology lab of archaeology (by the J-entrance)
All best,
Heikki Helanterä and Mathilde van den Berg

Research and project services are offering enhanced support for researchers, who are coordinating a Research and Innovation Action (RIA) proposal for the upcoming March and April Horizon Europe calls (Clusters 1-6).
The support consists of a wide variety of support services ranging from budgeting to data management including trainings, tools and actual hands-on proposal writing support. There is also a possibility to get external services for proposal review and graphic design services for infographics etc.
All researchers planning to submit a proposal for the Horizon Europe RIA calls in March/ April 2022 as coordinators can express their interest to be included in the support process by answering a short webropol questionnaire<https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/9BDCC0163E597CE3> by 30.11.2021.
All information provided will be kept confidential. The applicants who are selected for the support process commit themselves to take part in the support process for the proposal preparation and submit their final proposal to a call in 2022. Selected applicants will be invited to a kick-off meeting to go through the support process and schedule in December. Selection will be made based on the availability of services and the readiness level of the proposal preparation.
