DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials: Towards a Better Future

DOCFAM-PLUS (DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials: Towards a Better Future) is a new excellent doctoral programme led by Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and coordinated through Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB) for the recruitment of 26 excellent doctoral researchers. ICMAB is one the 22 research centres in Spain awarded with the “Severo Ochoa” label of excellence for the development of “Smart Functional Materials for Social Grand Challenges” (FUNMAT, 2016-2020). ICMAB is located in the Bellaterra Campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), the best University in Spain according to several international rankings (ARWU, CWUR), providing an excellent environment for the development of the doctoral programme. DOCFAM-PLUS builds up on the success and positive outcomes from the original DOC-FAM programme by providing a new dimension through highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral research while fulfilling all the principles of Open Science and maintaining the highest research quality standards. DOCFAM-PLUS goes one step further by strengthening the collaborative approach of DOC-FAM while enhancing the potential and future career perspectives of recruited fellows, consolidating the excellence and outstanding track-record of participating entities, and providing the ideal setting for prospective doctoral researchers in the programme’s research priorities.

Project objective

DOCFAM+ (DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials: Towards a Better Future) is a new excellent doctoral programme for the recruitment of 26 excellent doctoral researchers led by CSIC through ICMAB. It builds on the success and positive outcomes from the original DOCFAM programme by providing a new dimension through highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral research while fulfilling all the principles of Open Science and maintaining the highest research quality standards. The new programme includes the participation of 6 implementing partner organisations: ALBA Synchrotron Lightsource (ALBA-CELLS), Catalan Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (ICN2), Catalonia Energy Research Institute (IREC), High Energy Physics Institute (IFAE), the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB).DOCFAM+ involves a wide variety of research projects & hosting supervisors within the functional advanced materials sector, targeting three main applications in alignment with major European societal challenges: Clean & Secure Energy, Smart Nanomedicine and Sustainable & Low-Cost Electronics. It goes one step further by strengthening the collaborative approach of DOCFAM while enhancing the potential and future career perspectives of recruited fellows and consolidating the excellence and outstanding track-record of participating entities. The frontier research programme will be complemented with advanced training aspects through an integrating holistic approach to the training of doctoral fellows through a combination of research-oriented and demanding soft skills, in alignment with excellence in HR policies, the European Charter for Researchers & the Code of Conduct. The international & intersectoral aspects of the programme are boosted by the collaboration with several associated partner organisations, including start-ups, universities, research & technology organisations and synchrotron installations.
