EU-CONEXUS ENABLES: A Unique PhD Opportunity for Research in Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability
EU-CONEXUS Enables is excited to announce an exceptional opportunity for PhD candidates to participate in a research initiative focused on Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability (SmUCS). The project will offer five fully funded PhD positions aimed at developing innovative, sustainable solutions to coastal challenges using Digital Twin technology.
“EU-CONEXUS ENABLES is creating a dynamic research ecosystem where talented young researchers will collaborate with partner institutions to develop long-term sustainable solutions for coastal regions. This will allow PhD candidates to tackle real-world challenges while shaping the future of smart cities and coastal communities,” said Ilinca Nastase, Project Coordinator.
On the first stage of this call, research teams from partner universities will propose a variety of thesis topics that align with key themes in sustainable urban development, smart coastal cities, circular economy, and climate-resilient infrastructure. Digital Twin tools will be used to model, simulate, and innovate smart coastal solutions. Thesis topics submission is open until 28 February. During March, a steering committee will evaluate the applications and select five PhD cotutelle subjects, which will then be opened for doctoral student applications.
On the second stage, starting in April 2025, eligible PhD candidates will be invited to apply for these positions. They will be enrolled in a dual degree, cotutelle framework, receiving supervision from both a recruiting institution (widening partner university) and a co-supervising institution (non-widening partner university), to be awarded joint doctoral degrees.
