European Training Network on Sustainable Multi-functional Automated Resilient Transport Infrastructures.

Project description

Advanced scientific training for smart and sustainable transport infrastructure professionals

The transport infrastructure sector will require a new generation of highly skilled professionals to rapidly enhance systems throughout Europe and developing countries. The EU-funded SMARTI ETN project aims to create an engaging platform where stakeholders from the transport infrastructure sector collaborate with global experts in smartening systems. These experts include developers of high-tech sensors, advanced monitoring equipment and automation technologies, among others. The project will involve the participation of roads, railways and airport managers. It will offer talented graduates comprehensive scientific training on a global scale, structured through network-wide thematic modules that combine theoretical learning with original research. This training will be supplemented by secondments, providing exposure to both academia and industry.

Objective

Sustainable Multi-functional Automated Resilient Transport Infrastructures ETN, will bring together a stimulating platform where the stakeholders of the transport infrastructure sector will work alongside world-wide experts in smartening of systems (developers of high-tech sensors, advanced monitoring equipment, automated structures, etc.,) with direct support from the roads, railways and airports managers. This environment will enable talented graduates to conceive the transport infrastructure network of the future and will provide them with world-wide extended training in each of the four pillars supporting the SMARTI vision: designed to last by maximising recycling and minimizing impact (Sustainable), conceived not for transport purposes only and towards optimisation of land use (Multi-functional), equipped for communicating with managers and users, to allow a more intuitive use and a simplified management (Automated), built to be adaptable to natural and anthropogenic hazards (Resilient). The consortium will combine and share expertise to offer advanced scientific training structured into network-wide thematic taught modules combined with original research supported by secondments that will expose fellows to both academia and industry and will also allow them with the possibility to be award with Doctoratus Europeus. The training programme will be enriched by specific modules to support job creation by enabling the fellows with business, entrepreneurship, communication, project management and other transferrable skills. A tailored Dissemination strategy will evaluate the variety of channels and means appropriate to allow the fellows to be prepared and successful in reaching both scientific and larger public audiences. As a result, SMARTI ETN will create a new generation of highly-skilled and appealing professionals that will be in great demand in this rapidly expanding field and will benefit Europe and developing countries
