Flyer and detailed programme of the second Client Colloquium

The flyer and detailed programme of the Client Colloquium on Receiver Sand Mitigation Measure(s) will be published. The Client Colloquium is devoted to increase the level of consciousness of the end-user clients to the challenges posed by sand hazards, to promote the industrial exploitation of the results, and to nurture the trained ERSs. The colloquium will be organized with potential end-user clients and policy-makers (e.g. Railway National Authorities in MENA region, European National Railway Engineering Companies).

Collection of minutes of Network Meetings

The outcome of the network meetings will be summarized in minutes disseminated throughout the network.

Career Development Plans

The Career Development Plans (CDPs) will be established jointly by the ESR and by the two supervisors within the first two months. The CDP will comprise the ESR's training and career needs, including planning for publications and participation in international conferences in agreement with the rules by the doctorate schools involved. The CDP will be clearly formulated and signed by the PhD candidate and their supervisors; afterward it will be approved by the Scientific Board.

Flyer and detailed programme of the first Client Colloquium

The flyer and detailed programme of the Client Colloquium on Path Sand Mitigation Measure(s) will be published. The Client Colloquium is devoted to increase the level of consciousness of the end-user clients to the challenges posed by sand hazards, to promote the industrial exploitation of the results, and to nurture the trained ERSs. The colloquium will be organized with potential end-user clients and policy-makers (e.g. Railway National Authorities in MENA region, European National Railway Engineering Companies).

Mid-Term Report

The Mid-term report will be submitted before the Mid-Term Network Meeting (NM3 in the Gantt Chart, see Annex 1B) takes place.

Consortium Agreement

The Consortium Agreement is signed by all the consortium components.

Awarding of doctoral degrees

The doctoral degrees is awarded to all ESRs.
