Project objective

The Marie Curie training Site ENTITY (European Network on thin film technology) enables European young researchers pursuing doctoral studies in the field of materials science to acquire the broad knowledge of complex materials and their possible applications for enhancing energy efficiency of new materials the European industry is looking for Embedded within the ENTITY network the scientific and technological significance of this Training Site is based on the qualities of the facilities and the research and educational programmes of its host. The Training Site offers European fellows to deepen their scientific and technological knowledge of complex materials and their applications, to involve new sciences in a multidisciplinary and thematic way and to learn new preparation and analysis techniques making use of advanced equipment. The Marie Curie Training Site's programme adheres to explore all specialized knowledge and advanced facilities as represented within the ENTITY -network. The Site will focus on the following areas:- enhancing efficiency of solar cells by improved interfaces - new materials with tunable properties - Integration of superconductive materials in semi-conducting devices, nano-structures in particular - magnetic materials for data storage applications. The fellow can select an individual training programme of 6 months up to about 24 months. Much attention is paid to tailoring the individual programme to the background, needs and interests of the fellow. The Training Site welcomes European fellows throughout the whole academic year. They have to pass an admission procedure consisting of submitting a summary of their education, expertise and interests.
