Descrizione del progetto
Un pizzico di magia
I processi ultraveloci in natura e la solvatazione (il processo attraverso il quale le molecole di soluto sono circondate da e interagiscono con le molecole di solvente) hanno in comune il fatto che, nonostante la loro importanza, non sono in gran parte ben compresi e che possono essere studiati utilizzando misurazioni in tempo reale con laser ultraveloci. Questo aspetto è di enorme importanza per numerose applicazioni in campi che vanno dalle scienze energetiche e ambientali alla medicina e alla farmacologia. Il progetto FP-RESOMUS, finanziato dall’UE, si unisce a due reti nazionali che riuniscono più di 70 gruppi di ricerca di livello mondiale in Germania e in Svizzera che sviluppano le tecniche, le tecnologie e l’esperienza che consentono nuove finestre sulla solvatazione e altri processi ultraveloci.
Obiettivo
The Swiss research network NCCR MUST (National Center of Competence in Research Molecular Ultrafast Science and Technology) and the German Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (Ruhr Explores Solvation) propose to establish the new Postdoctoral Fellowship Program FP-RESOMUS. FP-RESOMUS will be integrated in and fed by the two national networks of research teams, bringing together over 70 research groups covering the fields of chemistry, physics, material sciences, engineering, and biology to solve interdisciplinary scientific questions using the latest available technology and theoretical insights. Both RESOLV and the NCCR MUST operate at the frontiers of what is technically possible, in large parts complementary in focussing on fundamental and applied research on ultrafast processes and solvation.
Building on the existing cooperation between the two networks, the FP-RESOMUS is well placed to attract postdoctoral fellows from all around the world (incoming), further promote the exchange of postdoctoral researchers between the two networks (outgoing) as well as enabling the return of Swiss and German researchers who have worked overseas into a European research environment (reintegration).
It is our vision that novel technologies, advanced modeling techniques, and the spirit of our thriving networks create an ideal environment for high-level postdoctoral research projects. Our program will provide Europe with a new generation of researchers in ultrafast and solvation sciences and therefore considerably improve the research quality of the ERA.
