Descrizione del progetto
Il mondo accademico e l’industria uniscono le forze per formare i futuri leader nella teoria della codifica
Finanziato dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto ENCODE mira a promuovere una rete di dottorato che si concentrerà sui fondamenti della teoria della codifica e sulle applicazioni alla sicurezza, alla privacy e all’efficienza della comunicazione e del calcolo distribuiti. Il progetto si avvarrà dell’esperienza di sette partner accademici e di cinque aziende all’avanguardia nel campo della sicurezza informatica per guidare otto dottorandi nello studio dei problemi della teoria della codifica e delle sue applicazioni. Tramite distaccamenti in altre sedi, i dottorandi impareranno a conoscere le problematiche tecniche che l’industria deve affrontare. Il programma di formazione del progetto fornirà ai dottorandi gli strumenti scientifici e le competenze trasferibili necessarie per raggiungere obiettivi professionali e scientifici.
Obiettivo
Coding theory is a cornerstone of the mathematics of communications. It an interdisciplinary field, lying at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering. It is a fundamental tool of every system of digital communications, with applications to error-correction, distributed storage, wireless communications, secure multi-party computation and post-quantum cryptography. The ENCODE doctoral network will focus on fundamentals and applications of coding theory to security, privacy and efficiency of distributed communication & computation. The DN will leverage the complementary expertise of 7 academic and 5 non-academic partners, to guide its 8 DCs to address and solve deep problems in coding theory and its applications. The DN will offer a superior supervisory experience for each DC, who will each benefit from the expertise of multiple advisors in academia and industry. The non-academic partners include 5 companies working at the cutting edge of cybersecurity, who will offer invaluable contributions to the training programme via hosting of DCs and input in advanced training sessions. DCs will be exposed to current technical challenges faced by industry and will have the opportunity to apply mathematics to tackle real-world problems during industrial secondments. ENCODE will create a unique training programme, designed to equip its DCs with the scientific tools and transferable skills required for them to become future leaders in the field, both in academia and in industry. The ENCODE programme will implement all EC Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training, adhere to best practice as outlined in the EU Charter & Code, the MSCA Green Charter, and ensure gender equality in all aspects of its activities, to create a lasting international, intersectoral, interdisciplinary doctoral network, dedicated to excellence in science, ethical standards & communications that will extend far beyond the DN.
