RESEARCH GROUPS
Explore expert-led research teams within microscopIA. Join as an active member or propose a group around your expertise.
FIND YOUR SCIENTIFIC HOME
The portfolio is organized by scientific scope. ICU mapping and critical-care innovation connect Health Systems Engineering with General and Oncologic Critical Care. Each study records its own investigators and responsibilities.

FIND THE RIGHT SCOPE
A group sustains an agenda and brings expertise together. A project has a question, defined tasks and outputs. An institutional agreement sets resources and responsibilities between organisations.
For active paid members with scientific fit. Share your profile and interests; admission depends on the lead, supervision and available capacity.
Review groups and requirements →Check project tasks, language and dates. An external route exists only where the call explicitly permits it.
Explore projects →Propose a question or complementary capability. Methods, contributions, data, budget, intellectual property and output review are agreed.
Discuss a collaboration →An affiliated researcher does not automatically represent their institution. Membership does not grant authorship or automatic access to restricted data.
HOW AN AGENDA BECOMES WORK
A group brings people together around related questions. An observatory organizes a thematic programme and its projects; an individual proposal needs its own evaluation.
The lead reviews fit, preparation, languages and supervision capacity. Roles, time commitment, deliverables and follow-up are agreed before execution.
Activity is evidenced through documented projects, contributions and outputs. Membership, group admission and authorship are assessed separately.
Bring scientific leadership and a sustained research program. We review the proposal, required resources and recruitment plan before agreeing the group’s scope.
Proposed group name, purpose and scientific priorities.
Proposed leader’s CV, relevant expertise and supervision capacity.
At least three distinct projects: question, design, data sources, permissions, timeline and expected outputs.
Member recruitment: roles, places, qualifications, languages, weekly commitment and selection criteria.
Resources requested, existing support, conflicts of interest and proposed data and intellectual-property arrangements.
Applications to join established groups are open throughout the year to active members, subject to fit and capacity. Group approval does not automatically approve its projects.
