Project Activities

The INTEG-RNA project was focused on small colaborative projects:

In the begining of the project a call for small grants was published to cover the costs of 6-18 small collaborative projects. During the Kick-off, the PIs worked in small groups and brainstorm the topics for the small collaborative projects. These ideas were presented to the MC and SC, who selected the most suitable ideas to go forward with writing 1-2 pages for the internal Seed Funding.

The INTEG-RNA project was focused on networking and training activities, including:

• CEITEC MU developed a mentoring programme
• PhD students had an opportunity to participate on internship at partners´ institutions labs
• Researchers from the consortium members will had an opportunity to participate in Transferable Skills Academy at IMB;
• Also experts from partner institutions were invited to give lectures at CEITEC MU and share experiences and techniques with CEITEC MU researchers.
• Researchers from CEITEC MU had the opportunity to participate in secondments at partners´ institutions
• Research management and administration staff could leave for secondments and training to partners´ institution, participate in webinars or international conferences (EARMA)
