Descrizione del progetto
Nuove soluzioni ingegneristiche per le scienze della vita
Formare giovani scienziati sulle nuove tecnologie con l’obiettivo di migliorare la ricerca sulle scienze della vita è essenziale per i relativi progressi in ambito scientifico e industriale. Il progetto ENROL, finanziato dall’UE, educherà e formerà 20 eccezionali ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera nello studio e nello sviluppo di tecnologie e soluzioni ingegneristiche innovative per le scienze della vita. Il programma si rivolge a ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera interessati a conseguire un dottorato e a beneficiare del mentoraggio e dell’orientamento, per lo sviluppo di nuovi materiali e tecnologie e il rafforzamento del pensiero critico. ENROL coadiuverà i ricercatori nello svolgimento del proprio lavoro nell’ambito di un contesto interdisciplinare che metterà in relazione ingegneria, tecnologia e biologia. L’attenzione del programma si concentra su tre aree di ricerca: previsione teorica, sistemi modello e analisi; sintesi, strutturazione e strumentalizzazione; applicazioni biologiche.
Obiettivo
ENROL – the Engineering for Life Sciences Doctoral Programme” is set up to educate and train a new generation of high achieving early stage researchers (ESRs) to study and develop novel technologies and engineering solutions for the life sciences. The education philosophy of ENROL is based on creativity, curiosity, ability, and passion. Within the programme, we want to create a strong community of ESRs and mentor, guide, and stimulate them in their creativity to develop, based on their ideas, new materials and technologies as well as enhance their problem-solving skills and critical thinking. ENROL will recruit 20 academically exceptional ESRs who are committed to science and are strongly interested in pursuing a doctorate degree and carrying out research work in an interdisciplinary framework on the interface between engineering, technology and biology. The scientific goal of ENROL is to engineer functional interfaces between inorganic and bio-organic systems in order to push them towards new levels of understanding and technological applications. We thus propose a combined and synergistic effort based on the following three research areas (RA) within which 25 research projects will be offered for the candidates to choose from during recruitment and selection: RA1: Theoretical Prediction, Model Systems, and Analysis; RA2: Synthesis, Structuring & Instrumentation; RA3: Biological Applications. Each ESR will complete a research project within the frame of ENROL with specific objectives, a personalized time schedule and a career development plan (CDP) including transferrable skills training. The research project will be complemented by secondments at institutions of different scientific disciplines (within and outside ENROL) and industrial partner organizations. The secondments will strengthen the interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations, and the training of the ESRs will benefit from the multidisciplinary nature of the programme.
