The MSCA Doctoral Networks program under Horizon Europe funds EU PhD programs in international networks, benefiting both the future careers of young researchers and European industry and research. Through a joint research project with organisations and industrial companies as associate partners, PhD students can collaborate and train across sectors and national borders.
Impressive results from DTU
Linking research to collaboration with established industry and technology start-ups is part of DTU's strategy to create technology for people. It is therefore particularly pleasing that four out of seven Danish coordinated research school networks are anchored at DTU.
SPARKLE (led by Simone Latini)
Simone Latini from DTU Physics will lead the network SPARKLE - Scientific training Programme for Advanced Research and Knowledge in Light-matter Engineering. SPARKLE has 14 PhD students working on developing the necessary tools and techniques to exploit light-matter coupling to manipulate material functionality.
NEXTgenT (led by Taeseong Kim)
NEXT generation of over 25MW offshore wind Turbine rotor design will be led by Taeseong Kim from DTU Wind. The network consists of 11 young researchers across DTU and European universities and several industrial partners. NEXTgenT will contribute to understanding the technical and theoretical limitations and challenges of designing the next generation of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) rotor systems over 25 MW (25+MW) by improving technologies, theories, numerical tools, and design methods.
IntelliWind (led by Nikolay Dimitrov)
IntelliWind has a total of 18 partners from academia and the wind industry. The project has 16 PhD students working on scientific solutions for the autonomous operation of wind power plants. IntelliWind is led by Nikolay Dimitrov from DTU Wind.
AWETRAIN (led by Michael McWilliam)
The Airborne Wind Energy Training for Industrialization Network project led by Michael McWilliam from DTU Wind will train 12 PhD candidates to integrate Airborne Wind Technology (AWE) into the industrial energy system. The research program is based on 12 multidisciplinary projects, distributed across universities and startup technology companies.
