European ESRs Network On Short Pulsed Laser Micro/Nanostructuring Of Surfaces
The LASER4FUN European Training Network had 14 vacancies for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) for research positions in the frame of a PhD doctoral programme, targeting a PhD degree. The consortium is happy to announce that all ESR positions have been filled and that the ESRs have started their work between January 1st and May 2nd 2016. The biography of each ESR can be found on the PEOPLE page on this website.
The First Technical Board (TB) meeting, as well as the Supervisory Board (SB) meeting of the LASER4FUN project took place on March 4th, 2016, at the Centro Laser de la Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM). Hosted by Prof. Jose Luis Ocaña, the TB & SB discussed the recruitment status of the Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), status of the project, management and reporting issues, communication and dissemination topics, definition of problems and pre-required structure geometry and size, as well as ESR training activities.
Officially, the LASER4FUN project started on September 1st, 2015. The Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology in Dresden (Germany), hosted the project’s kick-off meeting on September 4th. All participants were eager and keen to start the project.
