MITOEAGLE evaluation highlights

The large number of proposers spread across many EU countries and employed in a range of sectors is an early indication of the relevance and timeliness of this study.
        • Highlights: The main strengths are
  • The idea of establishing a standardized database of mitochondrial data, with continuous monitoring and updating of SOPs.
  • The set up of data sets for mt-function for different tissues in a standardized format.
  • The ambition to coordinate researchers whose research activity is focused on mitochondrial physiology, but that work in different fields.
  • The will to go beyond the spirit of strong competition that characterized research on mitochondria.
  • The proposal addresses the considerable lack of uniformity and consensus on standard operating procedures in the design and implementation of research protocols involving mitochondrial physiology. This is a very real problem that can only be solved through networks on a scale such as this Action, that will work to harmonise experimental protocols across research groups.
  • The will to reach standardized protocols and ways of data presentation, that will allow an easy cross comparison of data; this aim has been reached in many other fields of research (e.g flow cytometry data, microarray analysis).
  • The ambition to pool together data from different groups, in order to get the statistical power that could not be reached by single, small research groups.
  • To the best of my knowledge, I cannot remember similar networks in Europe, in terms of dimensions and ambition.
  • Several significant risks to the successful completion of the Action have been identified. These include the difficulty in standardising experimental protocols, variability in quality control standards and failure of the consortium to agree on specific standards.
  • The breadth of membership that is already evident in this consortium underscores the importance and significance of the aims and objectives of this Action.
        • Highlights: Suggestions by reviewers
  • The inclusion of a WP with specific responsibility for dissemination and training could be considered. - For example, the education programme for use of the MITOEAGLE data base could be the responsibility of the new WP.
  • This Action will benefit from a more comprehensive analysis of its long term impact on European society; as an example, the proponents say that this Action will help to distinguish noise from truth in the field of mitochondrial biology: many "noisy data" on mitochondria and the process of aging, which has a crucial impact on the society and economies of Europe.
        • Comment of the Scientific Committee
  • The proposed Action must develop and implement specific plans to increase the involvement of Early Career Investigators and for maintaining and monitoring gender balance.

Selected COST terms

» Full COST glossary
COST Action
» COST Actions
COST Action means the COST pan-European networking instrument (such as MITOEAGLE) allowing researchers, engineers or scholars from COST Member Countries and Cooperating State to develop jointly their ideas and new initiatives in a field or topic of common interest.
COST Actions are implemented through a set of networking tools such as meetings (MC meetings, Working Groups, workshops, conferences), Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs), Training Schools and Dissemination activities.
COST Action Networking Tools
» COST Action Networking Tools
  1. Meetings, Workshops and Conferences.
  2. Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM).
  3. Training Schools.
  4. Dissemination Activities and Publications.
COST Cooperating State
Israel. Researchers from COST's Cooperating State enjoy member rights in COST Action participation.
COST Member Countries
» COST member countries - COST member countries in bold are represented in the COST MITOEAGLE consortium.
Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
COST National Coordinator (CNC) - »COST
means the individuals appointed by the COST Member Countries and Cooperating State in charge of confirming the acceptance of the Action Memorandum of Understanding and responsible for nominating the Management Committee members of their country and the evaluators for the Review Panels pool of Experts.
Dissemination
means the public disclosure of COST Action’s results and/or outcomes by any appropriate means (other than resulting from protecting or exploiting the results), including by scientific publications in any media.
COST Actions shall favour Open Access to results and outcomes published thanks to COST funding. Specific provisions linked to the management, sharing or exploitation of Intellectual Property that may rise from a COST Action shall be defined by the respective Action participants, and lies within their sole discretion/responsibility.
Early Career Investigator (ECI)
means a researcher in the time span of up to 8 years after the date of obtaining the PhD/doctorate (full-time equivalent). Periods of career leave have to be added to this time span (see ESR in COST gloassary).
Financial and Scientific Administration and Coordination (FSAC)
The MITOEAGKE Management Committee decided during the MC Meeting 1 to allocate 15% of the actual incurred eligible scientific expenditure as FSAC. The Grant Holder for MITOEAGLE (Medical University Innsbruck) receives the FSAC. This part of the COST Action budget is to be used to support the financial and scientific administration and coordination.
Grant Holder
means the legal entity responsible for the administrative and financial implementation of the COST Action. The Grant Holder for MITOEAGLE is the Medical University Innsbruck. Contact the Scientific Representative of the Grant Holder, Christina Plattner, Email: [email protected]

ITC
Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC)
Countries in bold are represented in MITOEAGLE:
Bosnia-Herzigovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Lusembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Republic of Serbia, Turkey
International Partner Countries (IPC)
» International Partner Countries
Researchers currently affiliated to institutions located in International Partner Countries (IPC) countries can participate in COST Actions on the basis of agreed mutual benefit. As a starting point, it is recommended that the interested Researcher informs the Action Chair of their interest in joining the Action. The Action Chair can then initiate the IPC application procedure and must consult the Action Science Officer for advice on how to proceed as both MC Approval and COST approval is required.
  1. When an Institution has been formally approved onto the Action, then Researchers from that institution are not eligible to be reimbursed for their attendance at COST meetings but are eligible to be reimbursed, once throughout the lifetime of the Action, for their attendance as a Trainer at an approved Training School.
  2. Prior to their institution being formally approved onto the Action, the Researcher can be invited as an invited speaker and is eligible to be reimbursed for their attendance once throughout the lifetime of the Action.
Management Committee (MC)
» Management Committee
Near Neighbour Countries (NNC)
» Near Neighbor Countries
Researchers currently affiliated to institutions located in Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) can participate in a COST Action on the basis of agreed mutual benefit. When a researcher located in an institution based in a NNC is named as a COST Action Participant in the initial proposal, then their participation is formally approved by de-facto but they can only assume MC Observer status once the Management Committee (MC) has formally approved their participation in the Action. When a researcher from a NNC is not in the initial proposal but wants to join the Action, it is still possible for them to become an Action Participant (also as an MC Observer) but their participation requires approval by both the MC and COST.
Participant - Action Participant
means any researcher, engineer or scholar who participates actively in a COST Action.
The reimbursement of expenses incurred by participants, other than those incurred by the MC Members, depends on the fulfilment of the COST eligibility criteria for reimbursement and is always subject to the availability of COST funds.
Researchers from Near Neighbour Countries are eligible for reimbursement, whereas researchers from International Partner Countries are not.
Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM)
These Missions (Inter-laboratory Exchange Visits) aim at strengthening the existing COST Actions by allowing scientists to go to an institution or laboratory in another COST country to foster collaboration, to learn a new technique or to take measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own institution/laboratory. They are particularly intended for Early Career Investigators.
Vademecum
» COST Vademecum
Working Groups (WG)
The scientific work of the Actions is organised through Working Groups. - Four Working Groups in MITOEAGLE.
