Imaging and Characterization for a Sustainable World

Project description

Training today to respond to the challenges of tomorrow

Finland’s University of Oulu will welcome 25 early stage researchers for a novel international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral doctoral programme. The goal of the EU-funded I4WORLD project is to help the University provide structured doctoral training responding to the need for skilled next-generation researchers to join the European industry, public sector and academia. Specifically, the project aims to make full use of the capabilities of modern imaging and characterisation methods in multidisciplinary research. The programme combines 6 faculties and 24 research units of the University of Oulu. It also includes international academic partners, private companies, research organisations, public sector organisations and an industrial association.

Objective

I4WORLD - Imaging and Characterization for a Sustainable World - is a novel international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral doctoral programme for 25 ESRs hosted at the University of Oulu. The programme trains future research and innovation leaders for the global challenges of sustainability transition in UN Sustainable Development Goals topics: Good Health and Wellbeing, Affordable and Clean Energy, Sustainable Industries and Production and Clean Water, Biodiversity, and Environment. I4WORLD is based on full exploitation of the possibilities of modern imaging and characterisation methods in multidisciplinary research. The Programme combines six faculties and 24 research units of UOULU and is driven together with 18 international academic partners, 9 private companies, five research organizations, two public sector organisations and an industrial association. I4WORLD brings together the complementary expertise of world-class researchers in training ESRs with interdisciplinary visions in highly relevant UN SDGs research areas. The programme will provide ESRs comprehensive understanding on aspects of the sustainability and first-hand understanding on how research develops from science findings to interdisciplinary innovations and commercially valuable applications. Equality and diversity are inbuild values of the Programme in its training actions as well as in dissemination and communication. I4WORLD provides structured doctoral training responding to the need to train skilled next-generation ESRs to European job markets in industry, public sector and academia. Programme exploits local, national and international strengths of the network partners having excellence in research, cutting-edge infrastructures, and collaboration networks. I4WORLD builds upon a critical mass of expertise and provides a unique combination of complementary methodological approaches for high-quality training that would not be possible to implement at any site or organisation alone.
