SERENADE
People
Each consortium member contributes a unique perspective and a shared commitment to scientific excellence and societal impact. Meet the partners behind SERENADE and discover how their skills and knowledge are helping drive safe innovation in nanotechnology.
The success of the SERENADE project relies on the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of experts from academic institutions, research centers, SMEs, and international organizations across Europe.
We bring together complementary expertise in nanotechnology, toxicology, sustainability, regulation, and science communication to address key challenges in the safe and responsible development of advanced materials.
SERENADE
PhD
We intend to train 7 Ph.D. researchers in building smart sustainable solutions targeting the reduction of food waste at the end of the food supply chain. These 7 multidisciplinary Ph.D. projects are grouped according to three pillars: food, sensors, and materials technologies. The project started in 2023 and will officially end on December 31, 2026.
The SERENADE project involves a consortium of 5 leading European companies from Spain, Germany, Italy, and Belgium, along with 5 research universities. The consortium offered 7 positions for highly motivated and talented Ph.D. candidates (Doctoral Candidates, DCs). DCs are employed full-time and based at one of 5 host companies for 18 months and at one of 4 host universities for another 18 months. They will also spend up to 5-months on secondment at partner organizations, thereby ensuring that all DCs will spend time in both academia and industry and at least in two different countries.
