CEPI’s Innovations to Prepare for Future Epidemics and Pandemics Call for Proposals aims to support CEPI’s mission by advancing a broad range of vaccine innovations for pathogens with epidemic or pandemic potential, including novel pathogens capable of infecting and causing disease in humans (i.e., Disease X).

It will support vaccine research, development and manufacturing innovations for CEPI’s priority pathogens and contribute towards the 100 Days Mission, thereby helping the world prepare for known and future epidemic and pandemic threats.

Focus Area

Through the Innovations to Prepare for Future Epidemics and Pandemics Call for Proposals CEPI will advance cutting-edge vaccine development and manufacturing science and technologies that will contribute to speed, scale and equitable access during future outbreak response. It initially invites applications across three Focus Areas:

Focus Area 1: advancing innovative rapid-response vaccine platforms that can transform the response to a future Disease X.

Focus Area 2: developing new vaccine candidates against CEPI priority pathogens with epidemic or pandemic potential and viral families.

Focus Area 3: advancing manufacturing innovations that improve vaccine scalability and equitable access.

Deadlines

CEPI welcomes proposals for Focus Areas 1 and 2 on a rolling basis through 2026. Proposals for Focus Area 3 can be submitted through 12 February 2024. Call deadlines may be subject to amendment.

Additional Focus Areas may be introduced and updated over time as R&D gaps and needs are identified and addressed. Potential applicants should check back periodically for updates to Focus Areas. All proposals submitted as part of this Call will undergo an accelerated review process.

Application

Please read detailed Call for Proposals texts for further information and details on how to apply.

Focus Area 1: call text and application template.

Focus Area 2: call text and application template.

Focus Area 3: call text and application template.

Potential applicants should review the relevant Focus Area for detailed information about project eligibility, application templates and submission/review timelines. Prior to submitting an application, CEPI strongly encourages you to contact the team at innovations.cfp@cepi.net to discuss your product, technology or innovation and confirm your proposed project is aligned with the current needs and priorities of one or more Focus Areas.

Dear respected researchers,

Please be informed that the MPM (Malaysia Petroleum Management) is currently organizing a Technology, Application Replication (TAR) event focused on Digital Technology. They are inviting our researchers to share your latest digital solutions. Specifically they would like to hear  insights on how these innovations have improved efficiency, especially from a Decarbonization perspective, and the domains where they have been effectively deployed. The details of the event are as follows

TAR Digital Dialogue 2023

Date: 30^th November 2023

Location: Kuala Lumpur

THEME: Digital Innovations – Applications and Replication in Oil & Gas

The theme for Digital TAR Dialogue 2023 is “Digital Innovations – Applications and Replication in Oil & Gas” where innovations focus on novel and creative applications and how these can be replicated or scaled across the industry.

The Digital TAR Dialogue 2023 aims to focus on the digital technology application/replication in the area of Development, Production and Decarbonization.

Decarbonization focus area:

• CCUS: Digital twins of facilities to simulate and optimize CCUS processes, enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness
• Emission Reduction: Automated reporting systems, predictive of equipment failures and inefficiencies that might lead to excess emission
• Energy Efficiency: AI can analyze operational data to identify inefficiencies and suggest optimizations, thereby reducing energy consumption and associated emissions.

Participants: Industry player and Malaysia O&G operator

In view of limited seats; they will be selecting the best digital solution paper to be presented during the event.

YBhg. Tan Sri / Datuk / Dato '/ Prof. / Dr. / Sir / Madam,

It is our pleasure to announce the opening of MyLAB to our respected researchers. Malaysia Laboratories for Academia-Business Collaboration (MyLAB) was established to realize the collaboration network of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the industry sector. This program aims to bridge the gap in the commercialization of research products with the cooperation of academia and industry, in line with the demand for the growth of technology and local innovation as well as the transfer of knowledge.

MyLAB funding covers ten (10) Socioeconomic Drivers for the 10-10 Framework for Science, Technology, Innovation and the Malaysian Economy (MySTIE) as follows:-

The Frontiers Research Foundation has launched the Frontiers Planet Prize to accelerate scientific solutions for healthy lives on a healthy planet. The Frontiers Planet Prize aims to directly address the planetary crisis by mobilising scientists engaged in breakthrough research with the greatest potential to stabilise the planet’s ecosystem.

We are delighted to inform you that the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) is officially the National Representative Body (NRB) for this prize. ASM will be the focal point to coordinate the article submission to Frontiers Research Foundation.

As such, we call all researchers to submit article(s) aligned with planetary boundaries. ASM is also using this opportunity to take stock of all relevant research articles from 2019 - 2023 that addressed the 9 planetary boundaries as introduced by Johan Rockström and his team of scientists (https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries/the-nine-planetary-boundaries.html) for ASM’s National Planetary Health Action Plan (NPHAP).

Submit your article now for a chance to gain global recognition.

 Registration Link: https://www.akademisains.gov.my/frontiers-planet-prize-2024/

 Submission DEADLINE: 30 September 2023

 The National Champion will be able to attend the Official Award Ceremony and International Champion Announcement at the Frontiers Planet Forum in Switzerland. The International Champion will stand a chance to win CHF1 million (approximately RM5 million) to support their research works further.

ASM also invites your esteemed institution to register as National Nominating Bodies (NNBs) of the Frontiers Planet Prize 2024.
