DIM ELICIT “Empowering LIfe sCiences with Innovative Technologies” co-leaded by the Institut Pierre Gilles de Gennes for microfluidics (IPGG, Patrick Tabeling) and the Institut Pasteur (Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin and Elodie Brient-Litzler) have been labeled by the Conseil Regional d’Ile-de-France for the period 2017 to 2020.
DIM ELICIT aims at supporting interdisciplinary collaborative research projects that will combine :
- Implementation of disruptive technologies or methods in biology,
- Integration in the SME and industrial value-added chain,
- Integration in an open access environment for Life Sciences research teams.
In order to be one of the most innovative ecosystem in the field of Technologies for Life Sciences, the DIM ELICIT wishes to bring together research teams from all Ile-de-France in one and only network.
In the context of this call, the DIM ELICIT will fund for each project equipment purchase (66% max of total cost without VAT) with a maximal participation of 300k€ from DIM ELICIT.
The DIM ELICIT will fund on this call 3 types of scientific projects:
A. Co-development of innovative technologies and methods
B. Dissemination of new technologies or methods for new applications in Life Sciences (noncommercial methods and/or instruments)
C. Provide technologic platforms with prototyping/manufacturing devices to develop new innovative technologies for research in Life Sciences
