Project description
Academic and commercial doctoral research advances particle physics and applications
Understanding the smallest constituents of nature and the forces acting on them provides insight into the natural world and the origin and evolution of the universe – as well as exciting potential applications. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the KSETA Europe project will train 24 international doctoral researchers in particle and astroparticle physics and related engineering disciplines. Training and basic research at the Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics and other academic institutions in Europe and America will be complemented by secondments at private sector partners to pursue commercial applications. KSETA Europe’s success will strengthen Europe’s research capacity and its human resources in this foundational field.
Objective
"With the COFUND project ""KSETA Europe"" we want to fund and train 24 international doctoral researchers for research in the fields of particle and astroparticle physics as well as related engineering disciplines to devise enabling advanced technologies. The on-site training activities and the research infrastructure are provided by the established Doctoral School ""Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA)"". Our research lines address the questions of the smallest constituents of Nature, the forces acting between them, and how they shaped the Universe. With COFUND we aim at attracting substantially more international PhD students, establishing new partnerships with institutions in Europe and America, and pursuing new modern research lines which the doctoral researchers can freely choose. Our academic Accociate Partners in five foreign countries will host seconded researchers in their laboratories.
COFUND will add an intersectoral element to KSETA, as our Associate partners from the private sector will train seconded KSETA Europe doctoral researchers on commercial applications of scientific technologies and methods. KSETA Europe involves 47 Principal Investigators (PIs) as supervisors. KSETA Europe is open to candidates with Master's degree in physics, engineering, or informatics/computer science. KSETA Europe doctoral researchers will be hired in three cohorts with one call per year. They will profit from a training
programme with semi-annual block courses, two workshops held in the nearby Black Forest, guest lectures, a programme for hosting interns, and secondments to our Associate Partners."

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
