ExecutiveSummary
The Methusalem Consortium is an interuniversity collaboration between the Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO) at the University of Antwerp and the Centre for Statistics (CenStat) at Hasselt University. The Methusalem report 2011 is composed of 9 chapters. The format has changed significantly compared to the previous years and is now entirely focused on the activities, resources and output of the Methusalem Consortium as such. Chapter 1 describes the Methusalem consortium at the University of Antwerp and Hasselt University with their leading researchers and post‐doctoral researchers. The composition of the Board of Directors, responsible for the scientific management of the Methusalem consortium, and the Board of Advisors is presented. Furthermore, Annex I provides administrative information on the main contact persons, whereas in Annex II the minutes of the annual Board of Directors meeting held in January 2012 are given. Finally, embedding of the Methusalem consortium at both universities in terms of visibility and use of facilities is discussed. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the objectives of the Methusalem consortium. The consortium basically aims to study microbiological, immunological, mathematical‐biological, statistical, economical, societal and epidemiological aspects of infectious diseases and vaccines. In Chapter 3, a large table (Table 3.1) summarizes the ongoing research activities for which collaboration between Vaxinfectio and CenStat has been established. In 2011, 16 basic research questions and sub‐questions were addressed and translated into clinical research and basic research. For a large number of these research topics manuscripts have been published, submitted or are in preparation. Chapter 4 offers an overview of the dissemination and communication activities in 2011. Compared to 2010 the number of joint publications almost doubled (from 12 in 2010 to 21 in 2011). A detailed overview of the joint publications is listed in Annex III. In 2011, a dedicated Methusalem website has been set‐up and can be accessed through www.ua.ac.be/methusalem/vaxinfectio‐censtat. Each year the consortium organizes the "Methusalem Research Day" during which ongoing collaborative research between Vaxinfectio and CenStat is presented in order to stimulate further intra‐
consortium collaboration. At the fourth edition Prof Kourilsky (Institut Pasteur, France) gave a key note on ‘Systems Immonology’. The programme of the fourth Methusalem Research Day can be found in Annex IV. Chapter 5 covers the valorisation of scientific work, which is an important aspect for the Methusalem Consortium. Two dedicated staff members, one at Vaxinfectio and one at CenStat, are reponsible for all activities related to technology transfer and intellectual property rights. Collaboration opportunities with academia and industry are discussed in this chapter. In summary, the Methusalem consortium collaborates with Flemish and Walloon universities, research institutes and industrial partners based in Flanders and Belgium. Secondly, the consortium has built a worldwide network of scientific and industrial partners in over 50 countries. Also activities initiated by "Flanders Vaccine", a platform that aims to bring together expertise from academia and industry in the field of vaccine related research, to identify hurdles in the vaccination sector and to stimulate networking, are presented. Chapter 6 clearly shows the impressive number of external funding applications at national, European and international level. Over 150 projects are ongoing in 2011. Figures 6.1‐6.2 give an overview of the granted projects for the period 2007‐2011 either summarizing the number of projects split by type of funding or summarizing the obtained budget split by type of funding. Both the number of granted projects as well as the obtained budget increased considerably compared to the previous years. A detailed overview of ongoing projects can be found in Annex VII. Chapter 8 addresses the human resources management pursued by the consortium. Currently, the Methusalem consortium groups 134 staff members of which the majority are PhD students (n=61). Importantly, over 80% of these are being paid by external funding. It is expected that 23 PhDs will be 5
- Executive Summary -
finalised within the forthcoming 2 years. Interestingly, more than half (56%) of the staff members are women, which clearly indicates the efforts made by the consortium in terms of gender equality. Also, career opportunities and perspectives for young and more established researchers are considered very important and the management of the Methusalem consortium tries to offer as much career perspective as possible. However, without additional funding and career perspectives offered by the University management, sufficient long‐term perspectives for postdoctoral staff cannot be guaranteed. Annex VI lists the Methusalem staff members and their affiliation. Chapter 9 covers the Methusalem budget and investments. The Methusalem budget amounts to €5.179.619 for the period 2008‐2014 and is divided between the University of Antwerp (Vaxinfectio) and Hasselt University (CenStat; ratio 3:1). Both Vaxinfectio and CenStat mainly invest this budget in expert personnel, state of the art technologies, methodologies and equipment. In conclusion, the Methusalem consortium is a multdisciplinary consortium employing 134 staff members in 2011 of which 61 PhDs students. The consortium has published 21 joint Vaxinfectio‐
CenStat peer‐reviewed papers in 2011. The consortium organizes annual research days attracting a large number of scientists, also from outside the Methusalem consortium. An impressive number of externally funded projects were awarded in 2011. Over 150 project proposals are ongoing which generated more than €M30 of external funding. Nonetheless, the Methusalem consortium lacks mid‐
level postdoctoral researchers and (research) professorships leading to possible discontinuity of research and overstretching/overdemanding of existing staff. Future opportunities for the Methusalem Consortium comprise further expansion of the collaboration Vaxinfectio‐CenStat, set‐up of joint PhD theses, joint research projects and joint valorisation opportunities. Also, a further increase of the number of joint high‐level peer‐reviewed papers is envisioned by building on complementary expertises available within the Consortium. For more detailed information on Vaxinfectio and CenStat, we refer to the respective separate annual reports. 6

VaxinfectioasformalInstitutewithintheFacultyofMedicine(UA)
The Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO) was established as a formal Institute of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Antwerp in 2007 to promote the multidisciplinary research of vaccines and infectious diseases. Since January 2008 VAXINFECTIO is formally recognised as Centre of Excellence of the University of Antwerp with Methusalem funding and since September 2010 it is formally recognized as WHO Collaborating Centre for Vaccines and Infectious Diseases. As from October 2009, all staff members of the Institute belong to the Department Vaxinfectio within the Faculty of Medicine. Within this unit, sub‐units have been formed, based on the specific research units composing the department and their leading researchers:  Vaxinfectio‐Laboratory of Medical Microbiology (lead by Prof. Dr. Herman Goossens)  Vaxinfectio‐Center for Evaluation of Vaccination (lead by Prof. Dr. Pierre Van Damme)  Vaxinfectio‐Laboratory of Experimental Hematology (lead by Prof. Dr. Zwi Berneman) VAXINFECTIO is aimed at integrated vaccine and microbiological research with a focus on increasing the understanding of the immune response in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines (including tumour vaccines) and on the containment of antibiotic resistance. TheCenterforStatisticsattheFacultyofSciences(UHasselt)
The Center for Statistics at Hasselt University (former Limburgs Universitair Centrum) was founded in May 1998 as a result of a growing applied statistics branch within the university. The scientific research conducted within the Center for Statistics (CenStat) is internationally renowned, both for its theoretical as well as for its applied component. Also the education and consultancy records are excellent. Over the years CenStat has collaborated with many (inter)national institutions within and outside UHasselt, of which a fruitful collaboration of more than a decade with CEV, UA and with the other Vaxinfectio groups has led to its participation in the Methusalem Consortium. The Methusalem funding enables joining the expertise of Vaxinfectio and CenStat on a long term basis with shared appointments, enabling the consortium to play a pivotal role internationally. An ideal setting of what could become a more structural collaboration such as given by the unification of CenStat, UHasselt and the Biostatistical Centre at the Catholic University of Leuven in the Interuniversity Institute of Biostatistics and statistical Bioinformatics (I‐Biostat), anno 2008, strengthening both centres’ expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology and public health methodology, mathematical statistics and bioinformatics. 15

4.1 Scientificpapersinpeerreviewedjournals
Figure 4.1: Number of joint peer‐reviewed articles published from 2008 to 2011 Importantly, the Methusalem funding made an improved scientific collaboration with the University of Hasselt possible, which is clearly indicated by the increase in the number of joint publications, ie 4 in 2008, which increased to 21 in 2011. An overview of published peer‐reviewed papers and papers in press is given in Annex III. For an overview of all Vaxinfectio and CenStat papers, we refer to the respective annual reports and the websites (www.vaxinfectio.be and www.uhasselt.be/censtat) 4.2 MethusalemResearchDays
On March 7, 2012, the fourth joint scientific meeting of the Methusalem Consortium was held at the premises of the University of Antwerp. Two activities were organized: a workshop on linear mixed models in the early afternoon and late afternokn‐evening, a series of presentations on ongoing and future joint research collaborations within the Methusalem consortium Vaxinfectio‐CenStat, with an overview by the heads of each collaborating unit (LMM, CEV, LEH and CenStat). This fourth Research Day attracted a total of 39 participants. Within the framework of the collaboration of the University of Antwerp with France (www.ua.ac.be/Frankrijkjaar) a key note guest speaker, Prof Dr Ph. Kourilsky (Professeur au Collège de France, Membre de l’académie de Sciences) was invited to give a highly appreciated lecture entitled ‘The onset of systems immunology‘. For the programme of the Methusalem Research Day see Annex IVI. 4.3 ScientificChairinEvidenceBasedVaccinology
The need was felt among the researchers of both Vaxinfectio and CenStat to set up a more comprehensive research and education plan of action in the field of evidence based vaccinology, as part of the overall research plan of the Methusalem consortium. It was opted to establish a scientific chair, in order to make it possible to attract funding from various sources, including from private sector. The promotor of the Chair is Prof. Dr. Philippe Beutels, head of the Centre for Health Economics Research and Modelling Infectious Diseases (CHERMID); Prof. Dr. Pierre Van Damme, head of the Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination (CEV) and chairman of Vaxinfectio, acts as co‐

promotor of the Chair. The Scientific Chair in Evidence Based Vaccinology (EBV) was officially established by decision of the UA Board of Directors (Bestuurscollege) on December 9, 2008. Funding for the EBV Chair has meanwhile been secured from Pfizer for four years (60.000 EUR annually). As of 1st February 2009, Prof. Dr. Niel Hens has been selected as holder of the Chair. He has been appointed as 50% Guest Professor, and combines this assignment with a position as lecturer/assistant professor at the University of Hasselt. He holds a PhD in science (mathematics) and an MSc in biostatistics and he has an excellent track record in terms of research and education. His doctoral research has been on the crossroads between the disciplines of medicine, mathematics and statistics. The EBV Chair will support research into improved estimation methods to establish the effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of vaccination programmes, including pneumococcal conjugate vaccine programmes, as well as medical education in evidence based vaccinology. The scientific aim of this Chair is to raise the level of scientific research in the area of evidence based vaccinology, in order to match the growing scientific interests from academics and industry, and in order to achieve a high level of independent research in this area. Whereas the EBV‐Chair is not sponsored by Methusalem funding, it is the catalyst for the Methusalem collaboration between VAXINFECTIO and Censtat. 4.4 Website
To enhance the visibility and to improve dissemination activities within the Consortium, a website was recently created. The website is hosted by the University of Antwerp and can be accessed through: www.ua.ac.be/methusalem/vaxinfectio‐censtat It is available in English and contains the following parts:  Methusalem Consortium o Board of Directors o Board of Advisors  Research Objectives  Events o Annual Joint Research Days  Dissemination o Joint papers  Contact  Jobs Also links to the Vaxinfectio website (www.vaxinfectio.be) and the CenStat website (www.uhasselt.be/censtat) are made available. 24

5 Valorisation
5.1 RoleofIOFManagers
As from Nov 1, 2009, Dr. Vanessa Vankerckhoven started as research and innovation manager (funded by the Industrial Research Fund) at Vaxinfectio. With regard to technology transfer and intellectual property rights (IPR) efforts are made by the research and innovation manager to raise awareness among the researchers of the Consortium concerning the valorisation of research results and the possibilities concerning commercial exploitation thereof. She closely collaborates with the staff of the Interface Department on valorisation of results, licensing deals, spin‐offs possibilities and other technology transfer opportunities. She is responsible for setting‐up and maintaining collaborations with industry and attracting EU and IWT funding. She also attends courses on technology transfer organized by international organisations, such as ASTP (Assocation of Technology Transfer Professionals). Moreover, active networking during international conferences and at partnering events is important to increase visibility of the Methusalem consortium and to set‐up collaborations with academia and industry. Within Censtat, valorisation has a slightly different format given that pattents are not really applicable with respect to statistical methodology. On the other hand collaboration with industrial partners and external organizations (including several levels of Belgian/Flemisch government) has been very important for the strong growth in capacity Censtat has gone through in the last decade. For this reason Prof. Dr. Herbert Thijs received an IOF grant from Hasselt University in 2008 and therefore is responsible for the coordination of the scientific collaboration within Censtat and furthermore also within I‐Biostat. Methusalem has become one of the more important consortia within the domain of Public Health and Epidemiology for CenStat. From 2011 onwards Dr. Vanessa Vankerckhoven (IOF Vaxinfectio) and Dr. Herbert Thijs (IOF Censtat) will collaborate on a stronger and more regular basis in order to increase valorisation opportunities within Methusalem. 5.2 Collaborationwithindustry
Collaborating with industry has many advantages for the Consortium, such as clinical trial contract research, grants for research and access to specialised services. In the present research environment, collaboration with industry is unavoidable, and in some cases also a must, although we do bear in mind that this collaboration should not jeopardize the academic value and perception of the scientific work performed by the researchers. The long experience of the research groups with contracts and sponsoring from industry has led to the development of a policy to safeguard scientific independence with carefully negotiated contracts and with an emphasis on unrestricted grants and disclosure of conflicts of interest, if required. Also future collaborations will have to be clearly structured, with the required guarantees for independent scientific work. The IOF managers will closely collaborate with the Interface Services at UA and UH to ensure contracts that safeguard the scientific work and provide sufficient remuneration. Also, possibilities in terms of technology transfer will be closely monitored. 5.3 Strategic National and International Collaborations with other
researchgroups&academia
At the start of the Methusalem funding relationships with a number of other research groups in and outside the University had already been established. Since 2007, the Consortium has fostered these 27
- Valorisation -
existing relationships, but has also developed new relationships with new groups. The Methusalem Consortium has built‐up an international network and currently collaborates with over 200 scientific and industrial partners worldwide (over 50 countries). These strategic collaborations ensure access to other equipment and scientific resources not readily available at the Consortium. In addition, they create possibilities for the mobility of researchers. Both IOF managers from VAXINFECTIO and CenStat play an important role not only in fostering existing collaborating, but also in setting‐up new ones. In case new collaborations are set‐up, the IOF managers will closely collaborate with the Interface Services at UA and UH to ensure contracts that safeguard the scientific work and provide sufficient remuneration. Also, possibilities in terms of technology transfer will be closely monitored. A detailed overview of projects is available in Annex VII. 5.4 FlandersVaccine
Beginning of 2010 the set‐up of the ‘Flemish Vaccinatie Platform’, now renamed to ‘Flanders Vaccine’, was initiated by Vaxinfectio (Pierre Van Damme and Vanessa Vankerckhoven). The platform aims to bring to together expertise in the field of vaccine related research, to identify hurdles in the vaccination sector and to stimulate networking. Anno 2011, the steering committee consists of Vaxinfectio (Pierre Van Damme and Vanessa Vankerckhoven), Biomaric (Hugo Van Heuverswyn), Provaxs (Sven Arnouts) and Flandersbio (Ann Van Gysel). Relevant industrial and academic partners, including CenStat members and other Vaxinfectio scientists (LEH) are part of the platform. An inventory of available expertise in vaccine related research and device development in Flanders has been made and will allow setting‐up a database. In 2011, two large meetings were held (February and October) with an impressive participation rate from industry as well as academia active in this field. A new large meeting is planned autumn 2012. 28

6.4 Difficultiesencounteredwithobtainingadditionalfunding
The leading researchers of the Consortium at UA have encountered problems with applying for internal BOF funding, including GOA, NOI, and BOF kleine projecten, as these projects, according to internal UA regulation, do not allow submission by a promotor who already has been granted Methusalem Funding or is promotor of a Center of Excellence. This policy is however only pursued by the University of Antwerp, whereas this is not the case for other universities, including the partner University within this Methusalem Consortium, Hasselt University. This UA policy contradicts Article 14 undies of the Flemish Government Directive, which states that ‘Methusalem Funding does not exclude researchers from applying for additional funding, in particular funding from sources mentioned under Article 1bis’. It should be noted that Article 1bis refers to BOF resources (see Annex IV). Next to BOF funding, the Consortium forsees problems with future FP7, DG Sanco and other EU grant applications. Too few permanent staff is currently employed within the consortium thereby jeopardizing future grant applications for FP7, which require an input of permanent staff next to staff employed by the project. The University of Antwerp decided to limit the percentages of permanent staff to be employed for FP7 projects to 20% for ZAP (in case of coordination otherwise 10%), 5% for AAP and ATP. Next to FP7, DG Sanco and other EU grants require the input of co‐funding of 10% up to 60% which is to be financed through the input of once again permanent staff. The University decided to limit the percentages of permanent staff to be employed for these projects to 20% for ZAP (in case of coordination otherwise 10%), and to merely 5% for AAP and ATP. These rules combined with the shortage of permanent employed within the consortium makes future applications virtually impossible based on the current track record of EU projects submitted or in the pipeline as well as ongoing (see 7.1 and 7.2). 43

7 HumanResources
7.1 OverviewofMethusalemPersonnel
The scientific expertise and excellence of the Consortium, grouping more than 140 staff members, is entrenched in four core research units (Laboratory of Medical Microbiology, Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination, Laboratory of Experimental Hematology, Center for Statistics) and their leading researchers, Prof. Dr. Herman Goossens, Prof. Dr. Surbhi Malhotra (Laboratory of Medical Microbiology, LMM), Prof Dr. Pierre Van Damme (Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination, CEV), Prof. Dr. Philippe Beutels (Centre for health economics and Modelling & Infectious Disease Modelling), Prof. Dr. Zwi Berneman and Prof. Dr. Peter Ponsaerts (Laboratory of Experimental Hematology, LEH), Prof. Dr. Viggo Van Tendeloo (Centre for Cell Therapy en Regenerative Medicine, CCRM), Prof. Dr. Geert Molenberghs, Prof. Dr. Marc Aerts and Prof. Dr. Niel Hens (Center for Statistics, CenStat). Currently, 134 staff members are employed within the Methusalem Consortium of which 85 at UA and 50 at UH (Niel Hens has a double affiliation). The distribution by personnel category from 2007‐
2010 of the Methusalem Consortium is presented in Figure 7.1. Figure 7.1 Personnel by category 2007 (n=90) – 2011 (n=134) Annex VI provides a list of staff members currently employed within the Methusalem Consortium. The Consortium applies, to the maximum extent possible, the university’s policy for equal opportunities; hence gender equality principles are being applied in the personnel policy of the Consortium. In 2007, almost 60% (53 out of 90) of the staff was female of which almost 75% (39 out of 53) belonged to the academic personnel (1 ZAP, 5 postdocs and 33 predocs). The number of women employed within the Consortium slightly decreased in 2009 to 55% (67 out of 121) of which 67% (45 out of 67) belonged to the academic personnel, but there were more women in higher positions (2 ZAP, 11 postdocs and 32 predocs). In 2010, the number slightly increased again to 57% 45
- Human Resources -
(80 out of 141) of which 71% belonged to the academic personnel (57 out of 80). Again, more women were noted in higher positions (2 ZAP, 14 postdocs, 36 predoc and 5 scientific personnel). In 2011, the number of women employed stayed quite stabile at 56% (75 out of 134) of which 73% (55 out of 75) belonged to the academic personnel. Also, women were noted in higher positions (3 ZAP, 15 postdocs and 33 predocs). 7.2 OpportunitiesforPostdoctoralResearchers
Due to its relative size, the Consortium tries to offer career opportunities and perspectives for young researchers, as well as a career perspective to more established researchers. From 2007 to now, four postdocs were promoted to ZAP(BOF) of which three in 2011 and several PhD students were offered a postdoc position. The Methusalem Consortium was also in, terms of gender equality, able to offer career perspectives for women. From 2007 to now, two postdocs were promoted to ZAP(BOF) and 9 PhD students were offered a postdoc position. Also, since 2009 Vaxinfectio has a young female postdoc appointed as IOF (Industrial Research Fund) manager (now called research & innovation manager) for Vaxinfectio. This position is being paid by the Industrial Research Fund (IOF) of the University of Antwerp. The Consortium is investing in proper and suitable training and guidance for their young predoctoral researchers under the spupervision of its postdoctoral researchers. Also, the Methusalem Consortium has adopted the policy that specific training and education needs will be identified and incorporated as much as possible for each individual staff member. Nevertheless, additional funding and career perspectives are needed to enable sufficient long‐term perspectives for postdoctoral staff. 7.3 PhDstudents&PhDsobtained
In 2007, a total of 43 PhD students were employed within the Consortium. This number further increased to 61 in 2011. Figure 8.2 gives an overview of the PhD students in 2007 to 2011. Figure 8.3 clearly shows that the vast majority of all newly recruited PhD students are being paid through external funding. Moreover, more than 80% of the PhD students are being paid by external funded projects (national and international funding). The percentage of PhD students funded by UA/UH decreased in 2011.

8 Budget&Investments
8.1 Overallbudget2008‐2014
3.453.079 EUR (incl.10% overhead) for the University of Antwerp part, and 1.726.540 EUR (incl. 10% overhead) for the Hasselt University part. Thus, for the period 2008‐2014, the total Methusalem budget amounts to 5.179.619 EUR. 8.2 BudgetVaxinfectio
The resources of the Methusalem programme are considered as a continuous basic investment fund in support of ongoing and future research. Next to Methusalem Funding, the Consortium has also applied for additional external and internal funding (see heading 5: External Research Funding) and will continue to apply for resources in terms of projects and scholarships from traditional research funding agencies such as BOF, FWO, IWT, EU and others, to complement or increase the Methusalem funding. A central operational budget has been set aside to strengthen the collaboration among the participating research teams, and to develop new common collaborations with other teams in and outside the consortium and the 2 universities. The remaining budget at UA has been divided equally among the three leading research groups, as to provide them with a minimum of means to implement their research activities. Investmentsinexpertpersonnel2011
CEV has continued the funding of expert personnel for vaccine study coordination and improvement of internal quality of vaccine studies (e.g. drafting SOPs) as well as for translational research in collaboration with the industry. This investment has led to a diversification of the number of companies that have initiated vaccine trials at the clinical trials centre. Meanwhile, the investment in this expert personnel has led to an increased capacity for research project and protocol development. LMM has recruited one post‐doc researcher to work on the newly granted RAPP‐ID project (EU‐IMI) as a project manager as well as on the ongoing biofilm projects. All PhD students are working on a PhD thesis of which the topics are in line with the newly granted EU and non‐EU projects. Moreover, several new EU‐funded and non‐EU funded projects have started or will start as from 2012 for which additional personnel (PhD students as well as postdoc researchers) will be recruited. One post‐doc researcher has been paid from the Methusalem budget in 2011. She obtained a ZAPBOF position in October 2011. LEH continues the funding of expert personnel for the analysis of cellular immunity in longitudinal vaccine trials performed by CEV as well as for fundamental and translational immunology research related to cancer, autoimmune diseases and neurotraumas. In October 2011, LEH has recruited 1 additional lab technician involved in the preparation of therapeutic DC vaccines to treat cancer patients. Also in October, two new PhD students started in order to investigate immune‐modulatory effects of patient‐related factors as well as new treatment modalities in multiple sclerosis. Additionally, two new PhD‐students started in 2012 on the topics of microglial cell behaviour and modulation in multiple sclerosis and glioblastoma. In collaboration with CEV, a lab technician was recently (January 2012) recruited within the framework of the IOF project to investigate correlates of cellular immunity following prophylactic HPV vaccination.

It is obvious that an investment in the latest available technologies and equipment is a must, if the 49
- Budget & Investments -
Consortium wishes to remain in the forefront of academic research. The investments in specific equipment have been determined by the ongoing and future research topics. The Methusalem funding made investment in specific equipment possible: EQUIPMENT at LEH 1. Microscopy facility Part of Methusalem funding was used to co‐finance the establishment and maintenance of an internal microscopy facility. The current set‐up includes: (i) a new Olympus BX51 fluorescence microscope (+ Z‐axis controller) equipped with an Olympus DP71 digital camera, and (ii) a refurbished Leica inverted fluorescence microscope with an Olympus UC30 digital camera. Additionally, Olympus deconvolution and Tissuequest fluorescence analysis software is available for respectively image enhancement and quantitative data analysis (i.e. digital image conversion to FACS‐like images for co‐
localisation studies). LEH has expanded the facilities for molecular biology with a CFX96 real time PCR system. 2. Transgenic mouse collection Part of Methusalem funding was used to co‐finance the establishment and housing of an internal transgenic mouse collection for in vivo cell transplantation and immunogenicity research. This collection includes the following transgenic mice: FVB‐Luc, FVB‐eGFP/Luc, albino C57BL/6, C57BL/6‐
eGFP and C57BL6‐CX3CR1/eGFP. All equipment is available for use by all members of the Consortium. EQUIPMENT at LMM Due to the shift of the Laboratory of Medical Microbiology to the renovated 6th floor of Building S at the University of Antwerp, Campus Drie Eiken, investments were done in new equipment for the lab, including a biosafety cabinet, an analytical balance, an ice machine and an industrial washing machine. Future Investments in state‐of‐the‐art technologies, methodologies and
equipment
The consortium will continu to invest in state‐of‐the‐art technologies, methodologies and equipment to remain in the forefront of academic research. As it is planned now by the UA infrastructure department, the move of the CEV clinical trial team to the second floor of Building S will take place in 2013. From experience with previous moves, CEV plans to make some financial provisions for extra costs that will not be covered by the central infrastructure budget. CCRG is gearing up to obtain a manufacturing authorization (MA) of investigational medicinal products (IMP’s) from the Belgian authorities (FOD‐Public Health) and will likely undergo an early‐
phase GMP inspection in 2011. Eventually, this will allow the production of IMP for multicenter clinical trials between different EU member states in the field of cancer vaccination. 8.3 BudgetCenStat
CenStat considers the Methusalem funding a continuous reseach fund. The CenStat budget is used to fund predoctoral positions focusing on statistical methodology within the collaboration with all research partners at UA. In addition, a part time postdoctoral position, overseeing the collaboration between CenStat and Vaxinfectio is funded. Next to the Methusalem funding, CenStat continuously applies for additional external and internal funding and will continue to apply for resources in terms of projects and scholarships from traditional research funding agencies such as BOF, FWO, IWT, EU, and others, to complement or increase the Methusalem funding. Furthermore, Methusalem funding 50
- Methusalem Report 2011 -
has been used to buy laptops and powerful desktops as well as to fund participation at scientific conferences of its Methusalem‐funded researchers. Investmentsinexpertpersonnel2008‐2011
During the period 2008‐2012 two predoctoral researchers completed their PhD while working on the Methusalem grant. During 2008‐2009, Niel Hens worked as a postdoctoral researcher on the Methusalem grant. In 2010, CenStat attracted a third predoctoral researcher focusing on modelling epidemic data in collaboration with the research partners at UA. In 2011, a new postdoctoral fellow was partly funded by the Methusalem project. FutureInvestments
In 2012 two new PhD students and one postdoctoral fellow will be hired to work on the Methusalem grant. Prof. Dr. Niel Hens who holds a shared UHasselt‐UA appointment will continue to supervise the collaboration between CenStat and Vaxinfectio. CenStat will continuously recruit new pre‐ and postdoctoral researchers to maximize the implementation of the Methusalem research plan. It will also activate participation at international conferences by presentations and short courses presenting up‐to‐date statistical methodology as used in the research activities of the consortium. 51

As introduction, the members are requested to briefly present their background and present activities. He further explains that the Board of Directors is responsible for the management of the consortium, and more specifically for setting the guidelines of the scientific strategy to be developed. Overview of the activities of the Methusalem annual report (Herman Goossens) Prof. Goossens presents an overview of the track record of the consortium, referring specifically to (1) the increasing number of joint publications (28 reported), way above the output of the other UA‐UH consortia, (2) the growing number of staff of the research group (29 ATP, 65 PhD), and (3) the success ratio in attracting external funding (80% of the PhD researchers are funded with external resources). As such, the consortium has proven that it provides added value for the Methusalem budget invested in its activities. Issues that remain and that are considered as threats to further growth are (1) the incompatibilities that have been imposed in terms of access to other funding opportunities from the Special Research Fund, (2) finding sufficient co‐funding (in terms of permanent staff) for EU projects, (3) limited opportunities for young postdoctoral researchers to continue their careers, (4) and the fact that 1 IOF manager is insufficient to explore all possible opportunities for valorisation of research results, given the size of the overall consortium. 58
- Methusalem Report 2011 -
His conclusion is that we have consolidated in a pleasant cooperation, with an added value in terms of funding, also from industry, in terms of research opportunities and in terms of scientific output. Feed‐back on evaluation of Methusalem report and activities (ADOC UA; Research Office UHasselt) Prof Paul Janssen explains the background of the cooperation UA‐UH in 4 Methusalem network projects, being VAXINFECTIO‐CenStat, ECO, NANO and NEURO. This was an initiative of the former vice‐rector Dirk Van Dyck, to support 'top' research between the two institutions and to create economies of scale with the limited resources of the UH. A collaboration agreement was concluded between UH and UA on the Methusalem funding. According to the terms of this collaboration agreement, there should be an initiative for a joint evaluation at the end of the 4th year. This evaluation was held on 10/10/2011 in Hasselt, as a 'teasing' exercise to boost the plans for joint scientific output, and without any formal repercussions. Special attention was given to the concrete collaboration, the joint project proposals, joint output and valorisation initiatives (IOF). Prof Janssen lists the following conclusions for the VAXINFECTIO ‐CenStat consortium:  The number of joint publications (12) was considered as relatively low, given the overall output and the relative size of the consortium;  the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses is at the level of VAXINFECTIO, not at the level of the consortium;  the way the information is presented in the annual report (specifically the graphs and listings) makes it impossible to see which results are specifically attributable to the Methusalem funding.  The actual use of the Methusalem funding is also not clear. It is advised to more clearly specify for which investments in equipment, operational costs or personnel costs the Methusalem funding has been used.  Cooperation in terms of PhD development is not clearly reported.  The role of the IOF manager is not clearly expressed in the reporting. At UH, there is also an IOF manager, Herbert Thijs. It is advised that both managers should cooperate more closely as to boost the possible IOF related output (incl. IPR) within the consortium.  The evaluation report will be made available shortly. Prof. Goossens and Prof. Hens formulate the following remarks in reply:  The Methusalem funding has been considered as a 'lever' to attract other additional funding.  In terms of EU co‐funding, there is no more room because of limited permanent staff and restrictive accounting rules. Thus there is need for clearer constructions.  The 'teasing' has been understood: the VAXINFECTIO ‐CenStat consortium acts as an example for the other consortia, especially in terms of joint publications, organisation of research days, and of joint project proposals.  It is a fact that Methusalem (co‐)promotors have restricted access to other BOF funding at UA. This is not the case at UH, where there is even a structural funding for the successful research institutes.  The issue of strengthening the IOF collaboration within the Methusalem consortium is appreciated. It is explained that the IOF consortium at UA has been initiated at the same time and parallel to the Methusalem consortium. As both have a different overall objective (fundamental/basic research compared to applied/industrial research), the reporting cycle has been differentiated.  It is agreed that the listed shortcomings in the annual reports will be corrected in the next issue. In the overall conclusion, the colleagues of UH and UA expressed that they are very satisfied with the collaborative attitude on both sides, and are looking forward to continue the Methusalem cooperation even beyond the first cycle of 7 years. Strategic research plans The research activities and research opportunities are presented by resp. Geert Molenberghs for CenStat, Zwi Berneman for LEH, Herman Goossens for LMM, and Pierre Van Damme for CEV/CHERMID. The respective presentations are available from the presenters at explicit request. The added value of the VAXINFECTIO ‐CenStat Methusalem consortium can be seen in the following elements that are referred to during these presentations: ‐ direct access to a wide range of disciplines in the biomedical and statistical‐mathematical field; 59
- Annex II -
‐ more output in the respective research areas of the research groups involved; ‐ more focus on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in all research groups; ‐ high quality output in fundamental research; ‐ more efficient and effective use of data; ‐ focus on wider collaborative projects. The meeting provided again an opportunity to find linkages between the different research topics and research projects, ongoing as well as planned, between the various research units within the consortium. Organisation Methusalem day 4: brainstorming The date of the Methusalem Research day has been set on 7 March, as to coincide with a presentation on molecular immunology by Prof Philippe Kourilsky, College de France, French Academy of Sciences. He has been invited by the Vice‐rector Johan Meeusen in the framework of this year's focus on the 'France Year'. In addition, he will give a second presentation on "Altruism" on 8 March. The presentation of Kourilsky will be used as a keynote lecture, and is scheduled at the end of the programme. Various ideas are put forward how to fill in the rest of the programme for the research day:  Last year's initiative to organise a specific statistical training workshop was considered as very useful, thus it is proposed to organise a new session. A consultation will be made as to check which topics will be preferred.  It is important to facilitate the contacts between predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers; therefore interactive poster sessions could be a useful instrument.  Another proposal is to organise a "meet the expert" session.  It is important that the target audience for the specific training and information activities is clearly defined: predoc? postdoc? Biomedical? Wider scientific population?  The number of topics should be kept to a minimum (max. 3) These ideas will be taken into consideration by the Board of Directors when developing the final programme of the Research Day. The research day was organised as follows: The meeting is scheduled to start at 14h00 with a workshop on 'Generalized Linear Models and Extensions in R' particularly focused but not restricted to PhD‐students, followed by the meeting of the Methusalem Consortium at 17h00, including a keynote lecture by Philippe Kourilsky (Institut Pasteur, France) on Immunology. General discussion In the general discussion, the role of Prof Niel Hens as a focal point in the VAXINFECTIO‐CenStat interactions is discussed. He is providing support to an increasing number of master students, predocs and postdocs, and it is important that he can continue this in a sustainable way. Other joint funding opportunities are briefly discussed: 'Steunpunt Welzijn', IMI, VLIR IUS with country strategies in 5 countries (Uganda, Tanzania, Cuba, Ecuador, Vietnam), VLIR VLADOC. Finally, the meeting discusses the administrative and financial management constraints associated with a multitude of funding sources, with each their own specific needs and requirements. There is clearly a need to allocate additional administrative support to research groups to allow them to cope with the additional administrative burden. The meeting is closed at 13.00hrs. with a walking lunch. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ GV, 2/2012 60

HOOFDSTUK [Ibis.] - Financieringsbeginselen
B.Vl.R. 24-1-2003
Artikel [1bis.]
§ 1 Elk van de universiteiten, bedoeld in artikel 3 van het decreet van 12 juni 1991
betreffende de universiteiten in de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, brengt de financiële middelen die
door de Vlaamse Gemeenschap overeenkomstig artikel 168 van het decreet worden
bijgedragen voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek, onder in een intern bestemmingsfonds,
genoemd "Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds".
§ 2 Onder de term "de middelen van het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds" wordt in dit Besluit
verstaan : de overheidsbijdragen bedoeld in artikel 2 van dit besluit, aangevuld met de eigen
bijdrage, bedoeld in § 1 van artikel 6 van dit besluit.
§ 3 Ieder jaar voor 1 oktober deelt de Vlaamse regering aan elke universiteit het bedrag mede
van de overheidsbijdragen die zij krachtens artikel 2 van dit besluit kunnen verwachten. De
raming van de inkomsten en de uitgaven van het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds maakt integraal
deel uit van de begroting van de universiteit onder de afdeling IV.
§ 4 De overheidsbijdragen aan het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds worden door de Vlaamse
Regering definitief vastgesteld van zodra de algemene uitgavenbegroting van de Vlaamse
Gemeenschap voor het desbetreffende begrotingsjaar is vastgelegd.
[Hoofdstuk IVbis. - De Methusalem-financiering voor internationaal toonaangevende
onderzoekers
Afdeling 1. - Algemeen
Art. 14bis.
Voor het toekennen van langetermijnprogramma-financiering aan een beperkt aantal
uitmuntende ZAP-leden, verbonden aan universiteiten in de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, wordt
per universiteit een overheidsbijdrage, verder de Methusalem-financiering genoemd,
toegekend.
De Methusalem-financiering wordt toegekend en aangewend overeenkomstig de voorwaarden
gesteld in dit hoofdstuk.
Afdeling 2. - Kenmerken van de financiering
Art. 14ter.
§ 1. Voor het begrotingsjaar 2006 wordt de Methusalem-financiering vastgesteld op
3.000.000 euro. Dit bedrag geldt als referentiebedrag. Binnen de perken van de
65
- Annex V -
begrotingskredieten wordt de subsidie geleidelijk verhoogd in de periode 2007-2010 om in
2010 haar hoogtepunt te bereiken.
§ 2. De Methusalem-financiering wordt jaarlijks geïndexeerd, conform artikel 2, § 2.
§ 3. De verdeling van de Methusalem-financiering over de Vlaamse universiteiten gebeurt
overeenkomstig de in artikel 3 bedoelde verdeelsleutel.
§ 4. De Methusalem-financiering wordt met behoud van bestemming toegevoegd aan het
Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds.
De aan het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds toekomende middelen die na afloop van het betrokken
kalenderjaar niet zijn toegewezen, kunnen met behoud van bestemming worden overgedragen
naar de begroting van de universiteit.
§ 5. Het staat de universiteiten vrij het beschikbare bedrag voor de Methusalem-financiering
te verhogen :
1° uit eigen middelen en/of
2° uit het onbestemde deel van het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds.
De in het eerste lid, 2°, bedoelde inbreng is vanaf 2010 beperkt tot maximaal 5% van het
onbestemde deel van het Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds.
Artikel 6, § 1, en artikel 8, 7° zijn niet van toepassing op de Methusalem-financiering.
§ 6. Voor de uitvoering van de Methusalem-financiering kunnen de universiteiten
overheadkosten aanrekenen tot een maximum van 10 %.
[[De overheadkosten kunnen worden besteed aan de vergoeding van kosten (werkingskosten
en loonkosten) die rechtstreeks verbonden zijn aan het beheer van de ten laste van de
Methusalemmiddelen bekostigde onderzoeksprojecten, of aan de vergoeding van centrale
beheerskosten en algemene exploitatiekosten van de universiteit.]]
Afdeling 3. - Voorwaarden voor de financiering
Art. 14quater.
§ 1. De Vlaamse universiteiten zijn belast met het operationeel en financieel beheer van de
Methusalem-financiering.
§ 2. Elke universiteit legt de voorwaarden van de Methusalem-financiering in een reglement
vast. Dit reglement werkt de nadere regelen uit met betrekking tot :
1° de organisatie van de oproep, als bedoeld in artikel 14quinquies ;
2° de eisen waaraan kandidaten moeten voldoen, als bedoeld in artikel 14sexies ;
3° de selectieprocedure, als bedoeld in artikel 14septies ;
66
- Methusalem Report 2011 -
4° de evaluatie, als bedoeld in artikel 14octies ;
5° de procedure voor beëindiging, als bedoeld in artikel 14novies.
Art. 14quinquies.
§ 1. De universiteit die de procedure start voor de toekenning van Methusalem-financiering
door middel van het lanceren van een oproep, deelt dit aan de andere Vlaamse universiteiten
mee in het kader van een mogelijk overleg inzake samenwerking tussen onderzoekers uit
verschillende instellingen.
§ 2. Kandidaten-onderzoekers dienen hun aanvraag voor het bekomen van Methusalemfinanciering in bij hun universiteitsbestuur.
In de aanvraag verklaren zij uitdrukkelijk in te stemmen met een eventuele bekendmaking
conform artikel 14ter decies, § 2.
Art. 14sexies.
Kandidaten voor de Methusalem-financiering moeten :
1° aan de criteria van excellentie voldoen waaruit blijkt dat ze substantieel bijdragen aan de
ontwikkeling van hun vakgebied en hiervoor internationale erkenning genieten;
2° bewijzen dat zij meer dan andere onderzoekers bestaande financieringskanalen, zoals
GOA-, IUAP-, EU-, FWO- en IWT-financiering, hebben weten te benutten;
3° over een onderzoeksgroep beschikken met een voldoende kritische massa, zoals ondermeer
kan blijken uit het aantal postdoctorale onderzoekers dat hiervan over een langere periode
deel uitmaakt;
4° een onderzoeksplan bij de betreffende universiteit(en) indienen, dat een begroting bevat
met een indicatieve verdeling van de geplande uitgaven over een periode van zeven jaar.
Art. 14septies.
§ 1. Voor de beoordeling van de kandidaten stelt elke universiteit internationale panels samen.
De leden van deze panels zijn niet in België werkzaam en genieten een internationale
erkenning. Bij de samenstelling van de panels wordt rekening gehouden met de discipline of,
in geval van interdisciplinair onderzoek, met de disciplines waarin de kandidaten actief zijn.
In een panel dient de universiteit er naar te streven dat ten hoogsten 2/3den van het totaal
aantal leden behoren tot hetzelfde geslacht. In het geval van een samenwerkingsverband
tussen twee of meer universiteiten, zoals bedoeld in § 7, stellen de betrokken universiteiten
één enkel panel samen.
§ 2. Gemiddeld over alle panels, die een universiteit instelt, vanaf de inwerkingtreding van
deze bepaling tot eind 2009, kan ten hoogste 2/3den van het totaal aantal leden tot hetzelfde
geslacht behoren. Panels die door twee of meer universiteiten samen worden ingesteld,
worden bij deze berekening aan elk van deze universiteiten toegewezen.
67
- Annex V -
Indien een universiteit niet voldoet aan de in het eerste lid bedoelde regel, wordt voor het eerst
vanaf 2011 de overheidsbijdrage aan het BOF verminderd met 0,25 % en dit tot het jaar t
waarbij in het jaar (t-2) de instelling aan deze voorwaarde voldoet.
§ 3. De universiteit legt de samenstelling van de panels voor voorafgaand advies voor aan het
FWO. Het FWO voert een meta-beoordeling van de internationale wetenschappelijke
erkenning van de panelleden door en formuleert op grond daarvan een gemotiveerd advies.
Indien het advies afwijzend is, geeft het FWO aan op welke wijze de vastgestelde gebreken
geremedieerd kunnen worden. Slechts na positief advies van het FWO kan het panel worden
ingesteld.
§ 4. Bij de beoordeling van een aanvraag past het panel de in artikel 14quater, § 2, 2°,
bedoelde eisen toe, rekening houdend met de specificiteit van het betrokken vakgebied en
onderzoeksdomein.
Het panel maakt de wijze van toetsing inzichtelijk.
Het panel gaat tevens na of met het aangevraagde bedrag van de Methusalem-financiering de
onderzoeksgroep verder uitgebouwd kan worden tot een internationale referentiepositie. Het
panel kan in dit verband bijsturingen voorstellen.
§ 5. Het panel legt zijn bevindingen neer in een omstandig geargumenteerd advies.
§ 6. Op advies van de onderzoeksraad en eventueel andere door het universiteitsbestuur
aangeduide instanties beslist het universiteitsbestuur rekening houdend met het globale
onderzoeksbeleid van de universiteit welke kandidaten die door een panel positief werden
beoordeeld, financiering zullen ontvangen. Indien het aangevraagde bedrag aan financiering
wordt aangepast dient het instellingsbestuur rekening te houden met het advies van het panel
ter zake en zijn beslissing om hier eventueel van af te wijken te onderbouwen.
§ 7. Als twee of meer universiteiten beslissen samen financiering toe te kennen, sluiten ze een
overeenkomst af, waarin het volgende bepaald wordt :
1° de getroffen regeling voor het functioneren van het geheel;
2° het aandeel van elke instelling in de financiering;
3° de modaliteiten inzake beëindiging van de financiering overeenkomstig artikel 14octies.
Afdeling 4. - Evaluatie
Art. 14octies.
§ 1. De onderzoeker die financiering ontvangt, wordt om de zeven jaar door een panel, dat aan
de in artikel 14septies bedoelde voorwaarden voldoet, geëvalueerd.
Dit panel beoordeelt :
1° of het verrichte werk internationaal toonaangevend is en aan de verwachtingen voldoet;
68
- Methusalem Report 2011 -
2° het human resources beleid en in het bijzonder de mate waarin post-doctorale onderzoekers
die werken in onderzoeksgroepen van ZAP-leden die Methusalem-financiering ontvangen,
worden gestimuleerd ervaring op te doen met het opzetten van zelfstandig onderzoek;
3° of het onderzoeksplan voor de volgende zeven jaar en de aangevraagde financiering
adequaat zijn.
Het panel kan suggesties voor de ontwikkeling van het onderzoek doen.
In het geval van een samenwerkingverband tussen twee of meer universiteiten, zoals bedoeld
in artikel 14septies, § 7, wordt door de betrokken universiteiten één enkel evaluatiepanel
samengesteld.
§ 2. Op basis van de in § 1 beschreven tussentijdse evaluatie beslist het universiteitsbestuur
over de voortzetting van de financiering.
Afdeling 5. - Beëindiging van de financiering
Art. 14novies.
§ 1. Als de financiering wordt beëindigd op grond van een negatieve tussentijdse evaluatie,
worden de toegekende middelen vanaf het jaar dat de beslissing is genomen, jaarlijks
verminderd met 25 %.
Als de financiering wordt beëindigd omdat het ZAP-lid het emeritaat bereikt, worden de
toegekende middelen [[vanaf het derde jaar]] voor de beëindiging jaarlijks verminderd met 25
%.
Indien een onderzoeker, die financiering ontvangt, om andere redenen dan het emeritaat de
universiteit verlaat, duidt het instellingsbestuur een gewoon hoogleraar aan om tijdelijk als
wetenschappelijk directeur op te treden en wordt de regeling betreffende de afbouw van de
financiering, vermeld in het tweede lid, van toepassing.
§ 2. Als gevolg van de toepassing van de in § 1 beschreven geleidelijke beëindiging, wordt
een nieuwe financiering stapsgewijs opgebouwd. Met de vrijgekomen middelen kan
vervolgens een nieuwe kandidaat voor de Methusalem-financiering geselecteerd worden.
§ 3. Het bereiken van het emeritaat houdt niet in dat de betrokken universiteit de financiering
niet aan een andere onderzoeker kan toekennen, op voorwaarde dat conform artikel 14septies
blijkt dat deze aan de in artikel 14sexies vermelde criteria voldoet.
Afdeling 6. - Organisatorische elementen
Art. 14decies.
§ 1. Het ZAP-lid ontvangt, behoudens in het geval van artikel 14novies, § 1, financiering tot
aan het emeritaat. Het ZAP-lid treedt op als wetenschappelijk directeur en draagt de
eindverantwoordelijkheid voor de besteding van de onderzoeksmiddelen, het
onderzoeksbeleid en het dagelijks bestuur van de onderzoeksgroep.
69
- Annex V -
Bij een samenwerkingsverband tussen twee of meer universiteiten fungeert het ene ZAP-lid
als directeur en de andere(n) als codirecteur(s).
§ 2. De omvang van de middelen is afhankelijk van de discipline en bedraagt over de periode
van zeven jaar jaarlijks gemiddeld minstens viermaal het bedrag als bedoeld in artikel 8,
eerste lid, 2, en maximaal 2.000.000 euro per jaar.
In het geval van een samenwerkingsverband tussen twee of meer universiteiten, zoals bedoeld
in artikel 14septies, § 7, gelden bovenstaande minimum- en maximumbedragen voor de
financiering die de universiteiten samen toekennen.
§ 3. Het ZAP-lid kan de middelen besteden aan werking, personeel, uitgezonderd de
salariskosten bedoeld in § 5, en uitrusting.
§ 4. De universiteit stelt aan het ZAP-lid en zijn/haar onderzoeksgroep de nodige lokalen en
basisvoorzieningen ter beschikking.
§ 5. De universiteit betaalt de salariskosten van het ZAP-lid en eventuele andere aan de
onderzoeksgroep verbonden ZAP-leden.
Art. 14undecies.
Het toekennen van een Methusalem-financiering aan ZAP-leden sluit niet uit dat
onderzoekers die verbonden zijn aan de onderzoeksgroep van betrokken ZAP-leden middelen
verwerven van andere financieringsbronnen, in het bijzonder de middelen vermeld in artikel
1bis.
Art. 14duodecies.
§ 1. In de schoot van de onderzoeksgroep van het ZAP-lid waaraan een Methusalemfinanciering wordt toegekend, wordt een beheerscomité ingesteld. Hierin zetelen minstens de
ZAP-leden die verbonden zijn aan de onderzoeksgroep. Het ZAP-lid waaraan de financiering
wordt toegekend, fungeert als voorzitter. In het geval van een samenwerkingsverband tussen
twee of meer universiteiten, zoals bedoeld in artikel 14septies, § 7, wordt één enkel
beheerscomité ingesteld. Eén van de ZAP-leden waaraan financiering wordt toegekend,
fungeert als voorzitter en de/het andere ZAP-lid/leden waaraan financiering wordt toegekend
als co-voorzitter.
§ 2. Het beheerscomité staat in voor het bestuur van de onderzoeksgroep(en), inzonderheid
voor het uitstippelen van het wetenschappelijk beleid van de onderzoeksgroep(en).
§ 3. De onderzoeksgroep of, in geval van een samenwerkingsverband, de onderzoeksgroepen,
stelt/stellen eveneens een adviesraad in, waarin onderzoekers die in het betrokken vakgebied
internationale erkenning genieten zetelen. Deze adviesraad geeft onder meer ondersteuning bij
het uitstippelen van het langetermijnonderzoeksbeleid en het vaststellen van prioriteiten in de
onderzoeksagenda.
Afdeling 7. - Rapportering
Art. 14ter decies.
70
- Methusalem Report 2011 -
§ 1. Artikel 12, § 1, § 2 en § 3 is van toepassing op de Methusalem-financiering.
Het jaarverslag bevat voor wat betreft de Methusalem-financiering minstens :
1° een overzicht van de gefinancierde initiatieven;
2° een toetsing van de stand van uitvoering van de gefinancierde initiatieven;
3° de eventuele bijsturing van de gefinancierde initiatieven.
§ 2. Het universiteitsbestuur publiceert op haar website de gemotiveerde beslissing van het
universiteitsbestuur, bedoeld in artikel 14septies, § 7, ten aanzien van de geselecteerde
kandidaat.
Tevens worden de beslissingen over de voortzetting van de financiering, bedoeld in artikel
14octies, § 2, gepubliceerd op de website van de universiteit.
In geval van een samenwerkingsovereenkomst wordt deze eveneens op de website van de
betrokken universiteiten gepubliceerd. Ter zake kunnen de universiteiten beslissen om een
gemeenschappelijke website te gebruiken.
Art. 14quater decies.
Om het verloop van de Methusalem-financiering systematisch te volgen, zullen de
universiteiten jaarlijks aan de Minister, bevoegd voor het wetenschappelijk onderzoek en het
technologisch innovatiebeleid, rapporteren over de volgende set van statistische parameters :
1° de verhouding tussen het aantal ingediende en gehonoreerde aanvragen (in aantal en in
budget, wetenschapsgebied, nationaliteit (Belgisch, EU, niet-EU) en geslacht;
2° de verhouding tussen de aangevraagde en de toegekende kredieten bij geselecteerde
voorstellen.]
