Descrizione del progetto
Formazione interdisciplinare in applicazioni nanomateriali magnetoelettriche
Il campo emergente dei nanomateriali magnetoelettrici presenta un ampio potenziale applicativo, dall’elettronica ad alta velocità e dai sistemi di sicurezza dei dati alla somministrazione controllata di farmaci antitumorali. Di conseguenza, la formazione in questo settore delle scienze applicate implica la collaborazione di diverse discipline, tra cui ingegneria e biomedicina. BeMAGIC è un consorzio interdisciplinare di Stati membri dell’UE che comprende 13 beneficiari e 11 organizzazioni partner e fornisce capacità di ricerca e orientamento professionale agli specialisti che assumeranno posizioni accademiche o di settore. Tra i suoi obiettivi, BeMAGIC includerà orientamenti sulla commercializzazione dei prototipi creati, seguendo gli orientamenti sulle tecnologie abilitanti fondamentali di Orizzonte 2020.
Obiettivo
BeMAGIC is a highly interdisciplinary venture whose primary aim is the training of young researchers in the utilization of magnetoelectric (ME) nanomaterials to face important societal challenges linked to energy-efficiency, data security and health. The Network encompasses the design, synthesis, characterization and integration of ME materials into a variety of applications that share in common the combined action of electric and magnetic fields: advanced security systems, low-power data storage, spintronic/magnonic devices, electric-field assisted anti-cancer drug delivery, cell electrofusion and deep neural stimulation. Studying all these technological domains in parallel will accelerate progress in each individual field because there are a number of cross-cutting synergistic challenges and potential cross-fertilization outcomes. Various disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Bioelectronics, Biomedicine) converge together in BeMAGIC to provide a holistic approach to fulfil the proposed goals. Special efforts will be devoted to bridge basic science with system prototyping and market exploitation, covering several of the Key Enabling Technologies of the Horizon 2020 Programme. The Consortium brings together 13 Beneficiaries and 11 Partner Organizations, including 8 private companies, from 11 EU Member States. The partnership is diverse and gender-balanced (6 Beneficiary Scientists-in-Charge are female). The complementarities among partners will render a high-level, multifaceted educational programme in which world-class research will be combined with unique training opportunities in soft skills (career planning, dissemination, entrepreneurship, intellectual property rights, management, etc.). A continuous peer-mentoring of all activities will be performed in a pro-active manner to ensure that BeMAGIC generates highly-qualified specialists able to face future professional challenges, either in Academia or Industry, in a proficient manner.
