Structuring Initiatives

The Cirris research program stems, among others, from the priorities established by its researcher members, experts in their respective areas and the most apt at identifying needs in terms of social, clinical, or technological innovation through their interactions with their partners. Funding of specific structuring initiatives by the Cirris aims at supporting and developing innovative niches within Cirris’ research programming.

A research initiative is deemed as structuring when it works as long-term leverage and catalyst for the development of an existing or non-existing research niche. It must mobilize several researchers and partners in the pursuit of a common goal and produce positive effects for everyone involved. A structuring initiative must be innovative, combining existing and emerging strengths and subject to increase the Cirris’ presence and scientific community.
