European Spectroscopy Laboratory to model the materials of the future

Project description

Wanted: scientists who can perform simulations

Material scientists who can bridge the gap between industrial problems and theoretical understanding in materials modeling are in high demand. A new generation of scientists is needed to model materials at the atomic, molecular and quantum levels using the latest spectroscopies and artificial intelligence tools. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the EUSpecLab project will train scientists, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need. By bringing together experts in quantum physics and chemistry, theory and modeling, computer science, and experimental methods, both from academia and industry, the project will create a comprehensive training programme. Overall, the project will expose researchers to the process of transforming research into professionally supported simulation platforms.

Objective

The roadmap of the European Materials Modelling Council has identified a strong need in European industries for materials modelling, especially on the atomic, molecular and quantum level. A key bottleneck is the lack of scientists that can translate industrial problems into modelling strategies, to carry out simulations with the right tools, or to derive results of practical engineering value. EUSpecLab addresses this problem by training a new generation of innovative material scientists that will bridge the gap between industrial processes and theoretical understanding, and leverage novel informatics tools in artificial intelligence. EUSpecLab will train students in the theory, development and application of computer codes for the modelling of cutting-edge spectroscopies. Examples are the time and spin-resolved spectroscopies at the forefront of fundamental research in the characterization and designing of the new materials that will shape the future of our society. The results will be exploited using machine learning, to leverage first principles results and explore vast classes of materials. To provide beyond state-of-the-art training, EUSpecLab gathers the expertise of scientists in quantum physics/chemistry, in theory/ modelling and experimental methods, in computer science and artificial intelligence, in atomic and spin/time structure, working in academic laboratories and in companies involved in the making and modelling of materials. The students will become fluent with high-level programming, able to develop innovative computational approaches and software. With the involvement of the software or applied research companies, the Researchers will be exposed to the process of transforming research programs into professionally supported simulation platforms with applications to industrial problems.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
