Specific Objectives

Create

Create the CryoTeam for Excellence (ERA Team) with the mission of effecting positive transformations within EIE NHRF, specifically at the levels of research management and human resources. The primary aim of this team is to facilitate the transfer of expertise in the field of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

Contribute

To contribute to the highend cryo-EM Unit, 'hot4cryo' is establishing the 'cryoUNITe,' funded by NHRF through the 'Greece2.0' Recovery and Resilience Fund. PLK provides expertise, and PoC studies will confirm success. The cryoUNITe is a specialized research management/administration unit for cryo-EM.

Implement

Implement a research agenda using cryo-EM for essential projects and result visualization, focusing on two ERA chair/EIE NHRF themes and aligning with these EU missions: 1. Climate Adaptation
2. Soil Health
3. Cancer Research

Foster

Foster stakeholder networks to enhance EIE NHRF's excellence and sustainability in cryo-EM research in Greece and the wider region. Establish a dissemination, exploitation, and communication (DEC) plan to expand the scientific, political, and societal influence of the cryoTeam and EIE NHRF. Additionally, design a strategy to systematically ensure the longevity of the ERA Chair beyond the conclusion of hot4cryo.
