Coordination of the DFG Priority Programme DiSPBiotech

DFG参议院制定了第1934号优先计划-生物技术过程中蛋白质和生物凝聚体的分散性、结构和相变化。在优先计划的框架内，将研究发酵、下游加工和配方过程中敏感蛋白和生物团聚物的工艺环境降解。优先计划是针对在化学和过程工程领域工作的科学家，特别是粒子技术和生化工程，以及生物学。今天，这些研究领域的联系还不够紧密。因此，在优先规划中，这些研究领域是紧密交叉联系的。SPP协调员必须完成几项任务：为了强有力地支持联网，必须组织有关工作组（主要研究人员和同事/博士生）之间的定期会议。在这个优先项目中，特别应举办没有主要研究人员的研讨会。此外，组织关于不同学科主题的会议以及暑期学校和邀请客座科学家属于协调员的任务。除了组织会议之外，会议和客座科学家的住宿记录以及在互联网上记录优先项目的结果也是协调员职责的一部分。为了完成耗时的任务和前往参加会议，需要财政和个人资源。

The DFG senate has set up the priority program No. 1934 - Dispersity, structure and phase changes of proteins and bio agglomerates in biotechnological processes. In the frame of the priority program the degradation of sensitive proteins and bio agglomerates by the process environment during fermentation, down-stream processing and formulation will be investigated. The priority program is addressed to scientists working in the fields of chemical and process engineering, especially particle technology and biochemical engineering, as well as of biology. These research fields are connected today not strongly enough. Therefore, in the priority program these research fields are cross-linked intensively. The SPP coordinator has to fulfil several tasks: For the strong support of the networking regular meetings between the involved working groups (principal investigators and co-workers/PhD-students) have to be organized. In this priority program especially workshops without principal investigators shall take place. Moreover the organization of meetings regarding different interdisciplinary themes as well as of summer schools and the invitation of guest scientist belong to the coordinator tasks. Besides the organisation of the meetings the accounting of the meetings and of the stays of the guest scientists as well as the documentation of the results of the priority program in the internet are part of the coordinators duty. For the accomplishment of the time consuming tasks and for travelling to the meetings financial and personal resources are required.
