6i-DIRS: A growing attractive collaborative ecosystem for boosting impact driven research careers

Project description

Collaborative ecosystem training early-stage researchers

Early-stage researchers (ESRs) are PhD students in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers who have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree. The EU-funded 6i-DIRS project will recruit 19 ESRs for high-quality doctoral training. Recruitment will be open, merit-based, impartial, equitable and international. The project will train researchers in the following interdisciplinary platforms on EU and global challenges: ageing and wellbeing, cultural and creative industries, cities and regions, gender, social justice and inclusion, as well as strengthening participation. Another four areas are aligned with the Basque smart specialisation strategy on health, sustainable development and innovation in energy, Industry 4.0 and mobility.
