Individual ESR projects

 

Our 12 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) carry out individual research projects at their host institutions under the supervision of our network members. Each project belongs to one of our three dedicated research work packages (WPs) to address our scientific objectives.

The ESRs will undertake secondments to institutions belonging to other sectors and environments during the development of the project, and all of them are enrolled in the PhD programme of one of the participating organisations of the network.
