Abstract: In this talk, I will describe the open source numerical code FoMo. The code computes the radiation from optically thin plasma, such as the corona. It is a post-processing tool that converts \rho, T, \vec{v} from a simulation or analytical model to observables. I will give a brief overview on how to use it.

Then, I will focus on one particular topic where this code has been successful. As was previously found, transverse kink waves are Kelvin-Helmholtz unstable. Thus, when driving transverse waves at the footpoints of coronal loops, a turbulent regime will be created. I will use FoMo to show the observability of such turbulently heated coronal loops, which allow for direct comparison with the observations, using e.g. filling factors, DEM and spectral line modelling.

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council invites applications for the David Phillips fellowships. These support researchers who wish to establish their first independent research group in any area of science within the council’s remit, which includes research on plants, microbes, animals, and tools and technology underpinning biological research. Applications that address the following strategic priority areas are particularly encouraged:

•agriculture and food security;

•industrial biotechnology and bioenergy;

•biosciences for health.

Applicants should hold a PhD but not hold, or have held, an open-ended academic position of lecturer level or equivalent. They should have at least three years of active postdoctoral research experience prior to February 2017; however, there is not limit on the number of years of postdoctoral experience an applicant can have. Host institutions may be any UK university or BBSRC-sponsored institute.

Up to five fellowships per year are available. Each fellowship is worth up to £1 million at 80 per cent full economic cost and covers personal salary and research support. The host institution should also make a substantial demonstration of support for the fellow, in terms of access to facilities and equipment, training and research costs.

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council invites applications for its future leader fellowship. This enables early-career researchers to undertake independent research in any area within biotechnology and biological sciences, and to gain leadership skills. Applications that address the following strategic priority areas are particularly encouraged:

•agriculture and food security;

•industrial biotechnology and bioenergy;

•biosciences for health.

Applicants should have a PhD, or be expecting to have passed their viva prior to 30 November 2017. They should have no more than five years’ postdoctoral research employment by this point.

Approximately 12 fellowships are available. Each fellowship is worth up to £300,000 at 80 percent of full economic costingover a period of three years. Awards include personal salary as well as support for travel and subsistence, training activities and research consumables, but not equipment.

1st Stage deadline is 11th May, 2nd stage is 21st September 2017

The European Commission Horizon 2020: Industrial Leadership and the ECSEL Joint Undertaking invite proposals for their ECSEL-2017-1 innovation action call. This supports activities aiming at pilot lines and test beds, demonstrators, innovation pilots and zones of full-scale testing, to produce plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services, and may include prototyping testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. Proposals may address the following:

•key applications, including smart mobility, smart society, smart energy, smart health and smart production;

•essential capabilities, including semiconductor manufacturing, technology, equipment and materials, design technologies, cyber-physical systems, smart integration systems, and safety and security.

Project outlines are invites from industrial consortia

that may consist of universities, institutes, SMEs and large

companies. A consortium must have at least three participants from different EU member states or associated countries.

The budget for this call is €92.5 million.

Awarded to UK institutions that wish to invite an eminent researcher from overseas to enhance the knowledge and skills of academic staff or the student body within the host institution. The scheme covers maintenance, travel expenses and research costs. Visiting Professorships last for between three and twelve months.

The RDF is now open to applications for activity taking place between 1 August 2017 and 31 July 2018. RDF provides pump-priming funds for the development of external funding applications. Projects can vary in size and awards are supported under its Strategic or Development strands.
• Strategic Awards - An annual competition to provide up to £25,000 of pump-priming support for the development of new research initiatives which are innovative and clearly of a strategic nature. Projects should ideally be inter- or multi-disciplinary and must show clearly that they will lead directly to future bids for external funding. Deadline: Thursday 11 May 2017, 4pm
• Development Awards – Rolling funds available for modest support for research activity specifically related to Department/Faculty/University strategic priorities. Applications which seek support for the development of larger scale European funding bids are particularly encouraged, and some RDF funds will be ring-fenced to support this activity. Projects must show clearly that they will lead directly to future bids for external funding.
• Further information on the Research Development Fund is available at:

Technical assessment by 11th May, full proposals by 25th May.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, through its resource allocation panel, invites proposals for top-up grants for the ARCHER resource. These enable investigators on existing EPSRC grants to access the computing resources on ARCHER for a maximum period of two years in order to meet their current grant objectives. Computing resources on ARCHER are awarded in kilo-allocation units, with one kAU representing a measure of relative performance of ARCHER based on a range of benchmarks compared to previous national services.

Named investigators on existing EPSRC grants may apply.

1st stage deadline is 11th May, 2nd stage deadline 21st September 2017An ECSEL Research and Innovation Action (RIA) primarily consists of activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service, method, tool or solution. For this purpose they may include applied research, technology development and/or method/tool and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment.The activities have their centre of gravity at TRL 3-4.A RIA proposal is characterised by:

• Execution by an industrial consortium that may consist of universities, institutes, SMEs and large companies;
• Developing innovative technologies and/or using them in innovative ways;
• Targeting demonstration of the innovative approach in a relevant product, service or capability, clearly addressing the applications relevant for societal challenges in relation with the ECSEL Strategic Thrusts as outlined in the ECSEL MASP;
• Demonstrating value and potential in a realistic lab environment reproducing the targeted application;
• Having a deployment plan showing the valorisation for the ECSEL ecosystem and the contribution to the ECSEL goals and objectives.
• In order to maximize effective implementation of the ECSEL top-level objectives, the list of RIA proposals to be retained for public funding shall constitute a balanced portfolio of projects developing innovative technologies (as defined in the MASP in the essential technology section) and applying them in different domains as defined in the MASP (as defined in the application trust section).

The domains represent the demand side of technologies, and the development of new technologies represents the supply side of technologies.
The technologies in the ECSEL Multiannual Strategic Plan (MASP) 2017 include semiconductor processing, equipment and materials; design technology; Cyber-Physical Systems, Integrated Smart System and Safety and Security.
