What are Marie Curie Actions (FP7) ITN PhD – ESR (ER) IAPP postdoc – ER (ESR)
What are Marie Curie Actions (FP7) ITN IAPP Transfer of knowledge Intersectoral mobility via long term secondments Junior, senior, technical staff • Training of PhD’s • Intersectoralmobilityvia double hosting and/or short term secondments • Industrial PhD’s • Full training program (scientific, applied, transferable)
On-going EU (Marie Curie) projects • 11 Marie Curie ITN/EID/IAPP projects running/under negotiation • 8 ITN (2 as coordinator) • 1 EID (1 as coordinator) • 2 IAPP (1 as coordinator) • For a full list of ongoing and past projects: http://www.mech.kuleuven.be/mod/projects
FP7 ITN MID-FREQUENCY • FP7 ITN MID-FREQUENCY (no. 214909), 01/10/2008 – 31/09/2012 • Main Topic: Mid-frequency vibro-acoustic simulation tools • Development of enhanced mid-frequency simulation methods • Benchmarking on academic and semi-industrial cases • Validation on industrial automotive and aerospace applications • Website: http://www.midfrequency.org • Project Partners: (12 partners – 8 countries) • Universities: K.U.Leuven (coord.: Wim Desmet, Bert Pluymers), ENSCachan, Univ. Cambridge, ECL, INSA Lyon, KTH, SAPIENZA Rome, ISVR • R&D Institutes: ViF • Industrial partners: EADS Astrium ST, LMS, Daimler
FP7 ITN MID-FREQUENCY • Recruited 19 ESR’s and 4 ER’s • 15 different nationalities (Brazilian(2), Chinese, Colombian, Czech, Egyptian, French(2), German, Greek, Indian, Italian(6), Romanian, South Korean, Spanish, Tunisian, Turkish)
FP7 IAPP TIRE-DYN • FP7 IAPP TIRE-DYN (no. 251211), 01/09/2010 – 31/08/2014 • Main Topic: Experimental and Numerical Analyses of the Dynamic Behavior of Rolling Tires in order to Improve the Tire Modeling Accuracy • Development of appropriate test procedures for tire dynamics • Validation of complex numerical models • Development of simplified numerical models • Website: http://www.tiredyn.org • Project Partners: (3 partners – 2 countries) • Universities: K.U.Leuven (coord.: Wim Desmet, Paul Sas, Bert Pluymers) • Industry: LMS, Goodyear
MCA supporting postdocs in industry • strong interaction industry-research centres-academia is looked for • relevant university partners • relevant industrial partners and active involvement • industrial PhD’s (now emphasized with EID) • clearly stipulated training/ToKprogramme and strong transferable skills programme via Doctoral School and applied training via on site industry training • ‘clearly’ and ‘detailed’, yet sufficient flexibility in view of Fellow’s profile/training needs (PhD research is difficult to plan) • training of the Fellow is a crucial project outcome • 100% funding, also for industry • initiate long-lasting relationships follow-up projects • with network partners • with Fellows!! • organizations and Fellows can get to know each other without long term commitments often resulting in a successful continuation • added value of inter-sectoral PhD’s is strongly acknowledged by both sectors • mobility of researchers opportunities for both Fellows and organizations
