Today: CEC Fellows Meeting
29 May 2013
Start: 9.30 (
Blå
Hallen
, Ecology Building,
Sölvegatan
37, Lund)
What does it mean to be a CEC Fellow?
There
are
no formal obligations
for a CEC Fellow.
You
are strongly encouraged to take part in the activities
organized by the society of CEC
Fellows.
These
activities
are ideally initiated by the
CEC
Fellows.
There
will be regular meetings addressing topics that the
CEC Fellows feel are
appropriate.
Any
other tasks or commitments will be on a
voluntary
basis.
What are the requirements
for
becoming a CEC Fellow?
The
formal requirements are that the candidate needs
to
•
hold a
Doctoral degree
;
•
be
currently employed at, on temporary leave from, or
retired from
Lund University
;
•
be
involved in CEC activities
or actively conduct
research or other activities that are relevant to CEC.
For
example, a junior or senior scientist who is included
on the list of personnel within either BECC or MERGE
Strategic Research Areas will automatically qualify.
Other
relevant large research projects
are:
ICOS
, SAPES,
Multistressor
and LUCCI.
CEC Guest Researchers are also invited as CEC Fellows.
CEC
includes
several
large
research
constellations
How do I become a CEC Fellow
?
If you feel that you would like to become a CEC Fellow,
please contact the CEC Research Coordinator
Carin
Nilsson
(
carin.nilsson@cec.lu.se

Workshop: Future possibilities
–
research developments at CEC
The CEC Board and Steering Group have identified four research areas where CEC
researchers can make significant contributions. In the latest Swedish Proposition for
Research and Innovation (Oct. 2012,
Prop. 2012/13:30,
Forskningspropositionen
),
several research areas of interest to CEC are highlighted. FORMAS has also been given
the task, and funding, to facilitate this research. We expect specific calls in autumn or
early 2014 and want all CEC Fellows to be prepared.
CEC Fellows should also express their more general views on
i)
Where are we now?; ii) Where do we want to be 5
-
10 years from now?
iii) How do we get there?
Aim
: A clearer view on what lines of research the CEC Fellows wish to pursue over the
coming 5 years.

Vetenskapsrådet utlyser nu en ny bidragsform vars syfte är att ge svenska lärosäten
en långsiktig möjlighet att attrahera internationellt mycket framstående forskare till
Sverige. Bidraget kan sökas av rektor vid ett statligt universitet eller högskola.
Forskare som kan komma i fråga för rekrytering ska vara internationellt erkända och
ledande inom sitt forskningsområde. Vid rekryteringstillfället ska denne vara
etablerad utomlands sedan minst fem år.
Bidraget söks av rektorer vid svenska universitet och högskolor som inkommer med
nomineringar av kandidater till Vetenskapsrådet. Därefter står Vetenskapsrådet för
bedömningen om huruvida de föreslagna forskarnas meriter är tillräckliga för att
motivera stödet.
Bidragsbeloppet är 5
–
15 miljoner kronor per år för en period på 7
–
10 år.
Totalt utlyser Vetenskapsrådet i år 150 miljoner kronor för internationell rekrytering
av framstående forskare. Bidraget kommer utlysas även nästa år.
Satsningen på internationell rekrytering av framstående forskare är ett uppdrag från
regeringen.

FORMAS definition:
A bio
-
based economy (
bioeconomy
) is an
economy
based
on:
• A
sustainable production of biomass
to enable increased use
within a number of different sectors of society. The objective is
to reduce climate effects and the use of fossil
-
based
raw
materials.
• An
increased added value for biomass materials
,
concomitant with a reduction in energy consumption and
recovery of nutrients and energy as additional end products.
The objective is to optimize the value and contribution
of
ecosystem services
to the economy.
Bio
-

•
Biobased

bioeconomy
or

Regeringens proposition, 2012/13:30 Forskning och innovation,11 oktober 2012
8.2.2 Forskning om skogsråvaror och biomassa
–
nya material och biobaserade
produkter för en biobaserad samhällsekonomi
Anslaget för forskning och samfinansierad forskning till
FORMAS
bör öka med
totalt 100 miljoner kronor 2014
–
2016 för forskning om skogsråvaror och
biomassa.
Anslaget bör öka med 40 miljoner kronor 2014, med ytterligare 10 miljoner
kronor 2015 och med ytterligare 50 miljoner kronor 2016. Därmed beräknas
anslagsnivån bli 100 miljoner kronor 2016.
Skälen för regeringens bedömning:
Biobaserad samhällsekonomi.
Klimatfrågan, minskad användning av fossila råvaror och brist på naturresurser
är stora utmaningar. En central åtgärd för att komma till rätta med detta är att
utveckla produktion, användning och förädling av förnybar biomassa.
Sverige har jämfört med många andra länder goda förutsättningar för
omställning till en biobaserad samhällsekonomi i synnerhet genom god tillgång
på biomassa från skogen.
