[COS’É APRE?]

APRE è un ente di ricerca non profit con l’obiettivo, sancito dall’articolo 3 del suo statuto, di promuovere la partecipazione italiana ai programmi di ricerca e sviluppo finanziati dalla Commissione Europea.

È sostenuta da numerose Università e organizzazioni private e pubbliche del mondo accademico, dell’industria e della finanza.

Prima realtà del suo genere in Italia, APRE nasce nel 1989 come “Task Force” del Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca.

Nel 1990 viene poi costituita formalmente da Confindustria, ENEA, FAST e Mondimpresa

Monthly amount

[LIVING ALLOWANCE]

[News]

Allowances:

mobility, travel and career exploratory allowance have been merged into

one single allowance. This mobility allowance is a monthly payment of a

flat rate contribution to cover expenses related to the mobility (relocation,

family expenses,language courses, travel expenses etc.)

Depending on the family situation :

€ 1000/month: experienced researcher with family obligations

€ 700/month: experienced researcher without family obligations

Financial Regime

for the host organisation

• A contribution to the training expenses of the eligible experienced researcher managed by the host organisation Es: consumables, conferences/trainings, memberships journals, other fees, etc

€800 per researcher-month • Management/Overheads* Fixed-amount of €700 per researcher-month

*the correction factor for the cost of living

[for the Host organisation]

[Example]

An experienced researcher with 8 years of experience and with family charges, coming from Bucharest to Paris for 2 years with an Intra-European Fellowship under an employment contract:

Living allowance: € 58,500 x 2 years = € 117,000

Mobility allowance: € 1000 x 24 months = € 24,000

Correction factor for France =115.8%

(Living allowance + Mobility allowance)* Correction factor for France =

€ 141,000 x 115.8% = € 163,278

European Union Contribution for the experienced researcher (gross): €163,278

[Example]

Contribution to the participation expenses of eligible experienced researchers (managed by the host organisation) Training, research and dissemination costs: €800 x 24 = €19,200 European Union Contribution for the activities carried out by the experienced researcher: €182,478 EXPENSES FOR THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE HOST ORGANISATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE EXPERIENCED RESEARCHER ARE ADDED TO THIS AMOUNT: Management costs and contribution to overheads: € 700 x 24 = €16,800 Correction factor for France = 115.8% (Total management costs and contribution to overheads) x Correction factor for France = €16,800 x 115.8% = €19,454.4

Eleven centres and research groups active in andrology and medical sexology have been selected: Leuven (B), Muenster (D), Leipzig (D), Barcelona (E), Rome (I), Florence (I) (these biomedical centres also have interdisciplinary connections with psychological and psychosexological research groups and inter sectorial connections with research groups in the sectors of sociology and science of communication; complementary training described in point B2.1 will be organised in these Centres); Malmoe (S), Manchester (UK), Giessen (D), Tartu (EE), Lodz (PL) (centres with clinical and bio-molecular facilities). See also point B3 with the individual Centres description.

As previously noted, these centres are already linked by a common training project under the EAA. This new research and training project will be able to make use of an already effective network.

Also inserted in the Network will be the companies most involved in producing the latest generation products active in the andrological field: Serono, Organon, Ferring, Sigma Tau producing hormones and drugs proposed for therapy male infertility, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Bayer, and GSK, manufacturers of various type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors acting on erectile dysfunction, Johnson & Johnson, manufacturer of the forthcoming selective inhibitor of the serotonin reuptake, specifically aimed at treating premature ejaculation, Schering and Solvay, manufacturers of new testosterone formulations with innovative, specific administration methods dedicated to age-related forms of hypogonadism. Part of the complementary training describe in point B2.1 will be organised by experts from these pharmaceutical companies.
