Project objective
The young pre- and post-doctoral researchers will obtain specialist training in the group laboratories and by Network-wide workshops focused on programme objectives. The appointed young researchers will be based in one of the participant laboratories. However, a substantial part of their training will include stages at other participant groups to use the available advanced techniques. Therefore, cross-disciplinary training will be achieved. The training of young researchers in the frame of the present project will produce scientists with a broadened perspective of techniques in molecular and material design and characterization. The industrial relevance of functional liquid-crystalline elastomers as new materials will be addressed and placements of researchers at the companies which support this research training programme will be sought. Ultimately this Network which is considered as laboratory without wall will produce researchers having high level of specialist trainings, and a critical awareness of related scientific disciplines.
