Results in brief

EuPRAXIA Doctoral Network

EuPRAXIA is the first European project that develops a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma acceleration concepts and laser technology. It focuses on the development of electron accelerators and underlying technologies, their user communities, and the exploitation of existing accelerator infrastructures in Europe. In June 2021, EuPRAXIA was accepted onto the ESFRI roadmap for strategically important research infrastructures as a European priority. To fully exploit the potential of this breakthrough facility, advances are urgently required in plasma and laser R&D, studies into facility design and optimization, along with a coordinated push for novel applications. The EuPRAXIA Doctoral Network (EuPRAXIA-DN) is a new research and training initiative for a cohort of 12 Fellows, with 10 Fellows funded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions MSCA and 2 Fellows funded by the UK Research and Innovation Guarantee Fund. Recruited from all over the world, EuPRAXIA-DN fellows work together and carry out interdisciplinary and cross-sector plasma accelerator research for the new EuPRAXIA facility. The network’s unique training program provides them with critical employment skills for thriving research careers in both, academia and industry. Bringing together leading research centers, universities and industry partners, the network will pave the way for ground-breaking innovations and train the next generation of specialists.

EuPRAXIA is the first European project that develops a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma acceleration concepts and laser technology. It focuses on the development of electron accelerators and underlying technologies, their user communities, and the exploitation of existing accelerator infrastructures in Europe. It was accepted onto the ESFRI roadmap for strategically important research infrastructures in June 2021 as a European priority.To fully exploit the potential of this breakthrough facility, advances are urgently required in plasma and laser R&D, studies into facility design and optimization, along a coordinated push for novel applications. EuPRAXIA-DN is a new MSCA Doctoral Network for a cohort of 10 Fellows between universities, research centers and industry that will carry out an interdisciplinary and cross-sector plasma accelerator research and training program for this new research infrastructure. The network focuses on scientific and technical innovations and on boosting the career prospects of its Fellows.
