Study of carrier transport in MAterials by time-Resolved specTroscopy with ultrashort soft X-ray light

Project description

New researchers in X-ray ultrafast spectroscopy

The EU-funded SMART-X network of researchers from different scientific disciplines are working to train early career scientists to vastly improve the state of X-ray ultrafast spectroscopy. The project will focus on investigating charge carrier dynamics in new materials used in energy supply and storage. The network will recruit 15 early stage researchers to work towards the ambitious goal of developing tabletop X-ray ultrafast spectroscopy in the condensed phase. Training will include a unique combination of projects, secondments, and tailored courses provided by eight world-leading academic institutions, two large scale facilities and two high-tech companies.

Objective

SMART-X is a multidisciplinary and intersectoral network aiming at the training of scientists who will bring X-ray ultrafast spectroscopy beyond the current state of the art as a standard technique for investigation in crucial sectors of material science, with a particular emphasis on the investigation of charge carrier dynamics in materials relevant for novel energy supply and storage.
The network will recruit 15 early stage researchers (ESRs) to work towards the ambitious goal of the development of tabletop X-ray ultrafast spectroscopy in the condensed phase. Within SMART-X, a generation of creative, innovative, well-connected scientists will work towards unveiling the special physics of future and emerging material platforms, by implementing a research program at the physics/chemistry interface with partners from 7 European countries. This network will enhance the career perspectives of the ESRs by training them in a broad range of scientific, technical and transferable skills, through a unique combination of projects, secondments, and tailored courses provided by 8 world-leading academic institutions, two large scale facilities and 2 high-tech companies. Our goal is to establish long-lasting cooperation among the ESRs that will strengthen European competitiveness and innovation capacity.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
