The Accelerator Programme aims to ignite creativity and assist participants in forming groundbreaking research ideas through three engaging workshops. Session 1 – Let’s Get Started In the first session, participants will learn about ERC grants, watch inspiring ERC grantee videos, and engage in warm-up exercises and creativity-boosting activities. Session 2 – What Are ERC-Level Ideas? The second session features an inspirational speech by Lotte Jaspers from Yellow Research, who discusses the ambition required for ERC applications and the concept of blue skies research. Participants will also explore what it means to be a Principal Investigator (PI) and engage in group discussions to overcome barriers to aiming high. Session 3 – Working on Your Idea/Concept In the final session, participants will work on developing their individual research ideas, whether imaginative or real, into ERC-level application concepts. They will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas with Research Funding Specialists and get feedback and slo learn about the ERC support process at the University of Oulu.

We encourage all interested researchers to join this new programme and take the first step towards securing ERC funding! https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/new-2025-erc-accelerator-programme Uutta vuonna 2025: ERC-kiihdyttämö Lanseeraamme keväällä 2025 uuden ERC-kiihdyttämöohjelman, jonka tarkoituksena on innostaa ja tukea uransa alkuvaiheessa olevia tutkijoita kehittämään innovatiivisia tutkimuskonsepteja, jotka soveltuvat ERC-rahoitushakuihin. Ohjelma on avoin myös edistyneemmille tutkijoille, jotka eivät ole vielä hakeneet ERC-rahoitusta. ERC-kiihdyttämöohjelman tavoitteena on herätellä luovuutta ja auttaa tutkijoita kehittelemään uraauurtavia tutkimusideoita kolmen työpajan avulla. Työpaja 1 - Aloitetaan! Ensimmäisellä kerralla kiihdyttämöläiset saavat tietoa ERC-rahoituksista, näkevät inspiroivia videoita ERC-rahoitetuista projekteista ja osallistuva luovuutta herätteleviin harjoituksiin. Työpaja 2 - Mitä ovat ERC-tason ideat? Toinen työpaja alkaa ERC-konsulttiyritys Yellow Researchin Lotte Jaspersin inspiroivalla puheenvuorolla, jossa hän käsittelee ERC-hakemuksilta vaadittavaa kunnianhimoa ja blues-skies-tyyppisen tutkimuksen ajatusta. Kiihdyttämöläiset pääsevat myös pohtimaan, mitä tarkoittaa päätutkijana (PI) toimiminen, ja käyvät ryhmäkeskusteluja, siitä miten kunniahimoiseen tutkimukseen päästään. Työpaja 3 - Oman tutkimusidean/konseptin työstäminen. Viimeisessä työpajassa kiihdyttämöläiset kehittävät omia tutkimusideoitaan, olivatpa ne sitten mielikuvituksellisia tai todellisia, ERC-tason hakemuskonsepteiksi. Kiihdyttämöläisillä on mahdollisuus keskustella ideoistaan tutkimusrahoitusasiantuntijoiden kanssa ja saada palautetta sekä tutustua ERC-tukiprosessiin Oulun yliopistossa. ERC-kiihdyttämöohjelman aikataulu (paikka ilmoitetaan myöhemmin, ei etäosallistumismahdollisuutta): Ma 17.2.2025, klo 13.00-16.00 Ma 17.3.2025, klo 13.00-16.00 Ma 14.4.2025, klo 13.00-16.00 Täytä tämä ilmoittautumislomake<https://link.webropol.com/s/ERCAccelerator> varataksesi paikkasi ERC-kiihdyttämössä. Jos haluat lisätietoja ERC-rahoituksista, voit lukea niistä ERC:n verkkosivustolla<https://erc.europa.eu/apply-grant> ja löydät lisätietoja Oulun yliopiston ERC-tukiprosessista Patiosta<https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/tutkimuksen-tuki/rahoituslahtee…>. Kannustamme kaikkia kiinnostuneita tutkijoita osallistumaan tähän uuteen ohjelmaan ja ottamaan ensimmäisen askeleen kohti ERC-rahoituksen hakemista! https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/uutta-vuonna-2025-erc-kiihdyttamo

Opettajilla tulisi olla käytynä ko. kurssi (tai vastaava mikrobiologian kurssi) tai Solukkoviljelykurssi. https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/fi/opintojakso/754331A/16635?period=2024-2025 - 756341A Kasvibiologian perusteiden harjoitukset (in Finnish). Toiveena on, että opiskelija on itse suorittanut ko. kurssin. https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/fi/opintojakso/756341A/3948?period=2024-2025 Ilmoita sähköpostilla 20.12. mennessä kurssin vastuuopettajalle halukkuudestasi opettaa kyseisellä kurssilla. Perustele samalla motivaatiosi opettaa kyseisellä kurssilla, sekä minä vuonna olet mahdolisesti käynyt itse kurssin, millä arvosanalla, milloin olet valmistunut tai monennenko vuosikurssin opiskelija/jatko-opiskelija olet. / Please send an e-mail by December 20th to the responsible teacher of the course. Describe your motivation to teach in the course, and which year you have possibly taken the course yourself, with which grade, when you have graduated or how many years you have studied thus far. Jos sinulla ei jo ole työsopimusta yliopistolle, tuntipalkkasi määräytyy suorittamasi tutkinnon perusteella ja palkkaa maksetaan myös opetuksen valmistelusta (max. 1,3 x kontaktiopetustunnit). Jos sinulla on työsopimus, neuvon mahdollisen ylimääräisen palkanmaksun suhteen. / If you don’t have a contract at the university, the hourly wage is agreed based on your degree and that is paid also for preparation of teaching (max 1,3 x contact teaching hours). If you already have a contract at the university, I’ll advice how to get possible extra compensation for teaching. Ystävällisin terveisin / Best wishes, Lumi Viljakainen Biologian tutkinto-ohjelman vastuuhenkilö

Thursday seminar speakers fro next year wanted!
by Heikki Helanterä 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Dear all, I’m working on the Thursday seminar program for next year, and as always I’m looking forward to your suggestions for speakers either online or on site! So visitors, PhD thesis examiners, new people arriving (for example for new post docs arriving giving a seminar about their earlier work would be a great way introduce themselves), or just people who you think do exciting and important research! The list of current speakers is up on https://thursdayseminarbiology.wordpress.com/ - and 2/3 talks already booked for next are about ants. Take that as a warning of what will happen if I don’t get suggestions from you 😊 Cheers, Heikki =============================================== Heikki Helanterä Professor Ekologian ja genetiikan tutkimusyksikkö / Ecology and Genetics Research Unit Oulun Yliopisto / University of Oulu / Finland heikki.helantera(a)oulu.fi<mailto:heikki.helantera@oulu.fi> +358 50 4700 545

Next Journal Club - 13.12 - Causes and consequences of dispersal in waders; Waders = Winners?
by Clement Masse 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

The last Journal Club Session will focus on a specific aspect of shorebird ecology: Dispersal in waders! The session is entitled 'Causes and consequences of dispersal in waders; Waders = Winners?', and we will discuss the causes of dispersal, the consequences for survival, the required behavioural adaptation, etc... The session is on Friday, 13.12, 10:15-12:00 in AT115A, and led by Jelena Belojevic from the Wader Ecology research group. We will discuss 2 papers, available on our Moodle page<https://moodle.oulu.fi/course/view.php?id=24624#section-8> (enrolment key: journal ) and enclosed here for convenience. As a bonus, you can find 2 extra papers in Moodle for wider background readings. The following questions will be our basis for discussion: 1. What are the costs and benefits of dispersal? 2. What are the causes and consequences of dispersal? 3. How can habitat structure and climatic events influence dispersal, and in turn population viability? 4. What could be some alternative (i.e. behavioral responses) to phenotypic plasticity in dispersal decisions? Everyone is welcome without prior registration. Thanks to all research groups and participants who contributed to bringing this Journal Club to life!
