On this day of initially planned Brexit, the Visegrad 4 consortium organized a day of training on Marie Curie Actions in various representative houses of the EU commission.
In that occasion, T. Derrien was invited to provide a feedback from his experience with the Horizon 2020 Marie Curie Actions on Individual Fellowship, and RISE program.
Final program of the training is available here.
After a severe crack in exchange rate between EUR and CZK, national call on the research budget of Czech Republic had been canceled after organizing and concluding on the competition, expertise of institutions, and selections of research teams. As a result, a number of position had been canceled, including mine. However, my post-doc in Germany was already finishing.
The proof of the scandal is available in Czech language, here.
Separately, I had met with Dr. Heiko Appel in Berlin, whom advised me to write a Marie Curie individual fellowship to apply in his laboratory.
The ATLANTIC project of the European Commission stands for developing an “Advanced theoretical network for modeling light matter interaction”.
Since March 1st 2019, the ATLANTIC project, which aims at developing an international network and regular exchanges between theoreticians of laser materials interaction all around the world, has started. The international consortium is composed of 11 countries including 6 members of the EU (Bulgaria, Ireland, Czech Republic, France, United Kingdoms and Germany) along with 5 non-EU countries (Japan, Russia, Bielorussia, Argentina and Uzbekistan) for a total of 13 participants. The Bulgarian group is coordinator of the project.
Purpose of the project is to exchange researchers (permanents, post-docs and PhD students) between teams that have been pioneering various methods of numerical modeling for the description of interaction of laser light with materials. The project is funded by the European Commission, under the Horizon 2020 Marie Curie Actions, “Research and Innovation Staff Exchange” program, and comprises prestigious theoretical groups such as the groups of:
The project looks forward to ensuring highest standards in term of scientific quality, ethics and diplomacy in view of training future generations of scientists with the best human and scientific standards.
The consortium will meet at the New Bulgarian University (Sofia, Bulgaria) this week, for the project kickoff meeting.
A new website will be opened for the ATLANTIC project soon.
