MSCA FIRE: Fellows with Industrial Research Enhancement

MSCA FIRE brought together two established centres of excellence in doctoral training and research to enhance interdisciplinarity, and increase inter-sectoral engagement and internationality. This approach provided the fellows with a very large group of peers undertaking doctoral degrees across a range of research disciplines. Research topics ranged from replacements for oil-based plastics, through research into healthcare technologies such as sensors for monitoring water or managing disease, to the use of advanced motion capture research and machine learning. This research was focused on developing new technologies to improve the quality of life of citizens in a sustainable manner. The objectives of the MSCA FIRE programme were to: 1. offer the Fellows the benefits of 2 established national Doctoral Training Centres, as they expand their international partnerships and company placement activities; 2. bring Fellows the benefits of the cross-sectoral reach of both Centres, especially with vibrant industries; 3. enhance interdisciplinarity and experience sharing across the Centres, with common added-value training practices beyond their specialised research area, for the benefit of all their researchers; and 4. to use these synergies to fire-up the fellows to become autonomous, creative, highly-skilled and fully ready for careers in international industries.

Project objective

MSCA FIRE: Fellows with Industrial Research EnhancementThe FIRE programme is an integrated 4 year Doctoral Training programme, bringing together two national Centres for Doctoral Training: the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies and the Centre for Digital Entertainment. The objectives of MSCA FIRE are to increase the international aspects of these successful intersectoral and inter-disciplinary programmes and to develop the elements of transnational mobility and career development, common to our industry facing doctoral programmes. Objectives are to:- Offer FIRE Fellows the benefits of two established national Doctoral Training Centres, as they expand their international company placement activities.- Bring Fellows the benefits of the cross-sectoral reach of both Centre, with vibrant industries.- Enhance interdisciplinarity and offer added-value training practices beyond their specialised research area, to all fellows.- Use these synergies to fire-up the fellows to become autonomous, creative, highly-skilled and fully ready for careers in international industries.This will be achieved by:- Implementing a combined 4 year doctoral training programme,- using two existing national Doctoral Training Centres and their already engaged industrial partners.MSCA FIRE will deliver:- 20 autonomous, creative, highly-skilled scientists and engineers fully ready for careers in international industries, and - A model for intersectoral, interdisciplinary doctoral training in an international environment.Industrial partners ensure that research carried out is relevant and will enhance employability of graduates, both in Europe and globally.
