Project description
Training young researchers in advanced imaging
Advanced imaging techniques play an instrumental role in disease diagnosis, enabling the visualisation of internal organs and body structures. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the I4FUTURE project will address the growing demand for researchers trained in advanced imaging. The project will bring together universities and industry to provide interdisciplinary research excellence, cutting-edge infrastructures and collaboration networks. It will provide unique training opportunities for 20 early-stage researchers (ESRs) who will obtain transferable skills alongside scientific training. Ultimately, I4FUTURE aims to empower ESRs with a comprehensive understanding of the research process, from scientific discoveries to the development of interdisciplinary breakthroughs and commercially viable applications.
Objective
The I4Future Programme is a novel international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral doctoral programme hosted at the University of Oulu. The programme is based on full exploitation of the possibilities of modern imaging and characterisation methods in cross-disciplinary work. The unique training programme aims to respond to the increasing need for skilled next-generation ESRs in the changing and demanding European job markets in industry, the public sector and academia. I4Future brings together the complementary and supplementary expertise of world-class researchers in training ESRs with interdisciplinary visions in highly relevant socio-economic research areas and state-of-the-art techniques. I4Future combines five faculties and 17 research groups of UOULU, driven together with eight international universities and nine private companies from the paper, steel, mining and medical industries as well as appliances manufacturing and four multidisciplinary public sector organisations. The I4Future programme will provide 20 ESRs with a first-hand understanding of how research develops from basic science findings to interdisciplinary innovations and commercially valuable applications. The programme exploits local, national and international strengths of the network partners at multiple levels: excellence in research, local and European cutting-edge infrastructures, collaboration networks and secondments, and wide dissemination and outreach. I4Future builds upon a critical mass of interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and international 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.
