SEPAF stipendium för patentrelaterade uppsatser
SEPAF (Sveriges Patentbyråers Förening) är engagerade i att stödja och främja forskning och kunskap inom området immateriella rättigheter. Vårt stipendium är avsett för studenter som är nyfikna på patentskyddets roll att lösa vår tids utmaningar och som vill utforska ämnet genom en uppsats.
Företag som Ericsson och Spotify är levande exempel på hur tillgång till ensamrätt och till nyskapande teknologi genom patent har varit avgörande för deras framgångar och nuvarande värderingar. Patent och andra immateriella rättigheter har varit en katalysator för företagens innovationskraft och genererat tillväxt.
Vem är berättigad att ansöka?
Stipendiet är öppet för studenter vid svenska universitet och högskolor, oavsett inriktning eller studienivå. Vi uppmuntrar alla studenter med intresse för patent och immateriella rättigheter att ansöka.
Hur ansöker man?
Skicka in din uppsats i PDF till info@sepaf.se senast den 1 oktober. Bifoga även ett intyg gällande vilket lärosäte du studerar vid.
Vad ska uppsatsen handla om?
Din uppsats bör fokusera på något relevanta ämne inom patentområdet. Det kan vara en analys av den senaste utvecklingen inom patentlagstiftningen, en fallstudie av ett specifikt patent eller en diskussion om patentets roll inom innovation och teknologisk utveckling. Kreativitet och originalitet uppmuntras!
Bedömning och Utvärdering
Ansökningarna kommer att utvärderas av vårt expertteam bestående av erfarna patentkonsulter. Vi kommer att bedöma ansökningarna baserat på kvaliteten på uppsatsen, relevansen för patentområdet, och den övergripande akademiska prestationen hos ansökande.
Stipendiebelopp och Utbetalning
Det valda bidraget kommer att tilldelas ett stipendium om 20 000 kronor och kommer att tillkännages sista veckan i november. Stipendiet kommer att utbetalas direkt till den antagna studentens bankkonto. Uppsatsen behöver vara SEPAF tillhanda senast den 1 oktober.

Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to describe National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) priorities in innovative basic and mechanistic research or technology/method development research relevant to complementary and integrative health approaches and their impact on health outcomes, resilience, and well-being. Although the areas of research submitted under this NOSI can be very broad, the following topics are high program priorities for NCCIH: Basic research; Research on mechanisms of complementary and integrative health approaches; and Research on technology and tool development.
Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Stimulate Research on the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Mechanistic Understanding of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Funding Opportunity ID: NOT-HL-24-018
Upcoming deadlines: October 5th, 2024 to January 8th, 2028
Abstract: Individuals with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) suffer from an excessive increase in heart rate (tachycardia) and other symptoms of dysautonomia that worsen upon standing or sitting up, such as light-headedness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitations. There is a compelling need to stimulate research focused on improving diagnosis and treatment of POTS. This may include development of biomarkers and diagnostic tools as well as translational studies and mechanistic clinical trials to guide the development of interventions aimed at preventing and curing POTS. This NOSI signals interest in this important area with the goal of stimulating research applications to address these critical needs.
Investigating Mitochondrial-Nuclear Communication in AD/ADRD (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: RFA-AG-25-026
Upcoming deadlines: November 7th, 2024
Abstract: This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites R01 applications that investigate mitochondrial-nuclear communication in the context of neurobiology and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD). This research will transform our understanding of how mitochondrially derived metabolites can impact nuclear gene expression and how changes to nuclear function can impact mitochondrial activity. This has the potential to serve as the foundation for the development of future AD/ADRD therapies that specifically target mitochondrial function as well as shed light on the role that mitochondria play in aging and neurodegeneration.
