WP4 - Recruitment of experienced researchers

Work package leader: Julius Lukeš

Objective of WP4 is to increase research capacities by building up the competent staff. Fourteen teams working with model organisms already participate in this project. They include 34 researchers and 20 Ph.D. students.

Main tasks

T 4.1: Use of newly built infrastructure

Use of newly built infrastructure in the research of curent 14 teams. This activity essential for project realization will be followed by Management Committee. This will provide a feedback indicator of MODBIOLIN success.

T 4.2: Recruitment of qualified researchers

Recruitment of qualified researchers that is important for the development of human resources in respect to the strategic plan of future BCAS research profile.
