Objective
The objective of this proposal is to bring together, through the Transfer of Knowledge, a number of areas of expertise in order to develop effective remote monitoring and control of specific biological processes.
The biological processes referred to are those used in wastewater treatment, treatment of solid waste and for the production of renewable biofuels. Use of these processes is increasing worldwide, whilst the expertise to manage them is becoming increasingly centralised. Therefore, efficient remote management is essential to enable the processes to be used and controlled across greater geographical areas.
The processes are key in delivering the aims of sustainable development and in the protection of the environment. The need for the development of new knowledge in this area is of major importance when considering the increasing pressure on water resources in Europe and the fact that sustainable hydrogen production will, in future, be part of the Distributed Energy Networks for the EU.
The objectives of the scheme will be achieved through the recruitment of three Fellows, with appropriate expertise, in order to transfer knowledge so that we may better understand the fundamentals of the processes and, in turn, monitor and control them remotely.
The Fellows would transfer knowledge, which will significantly increase the research quality and potential of the University. The project will also further the development of research capabilities in a less favoured region of the EU, as the University is situated in an Objective One area.
The proposal will support the establishment and structuring of the European Research Area by providing a structured mobility opportunity for three researchers aimed at the development and transfer of knowledge, improved research competencies, a widening of career opportunities and the possibility of further collaborative research. It will also support the development of an abundant world-class resource in researchers.
