About GreenX3

The GreenX3 project, a Marie Skłodowska Curie Action Industrial Doctorate network (MSCA-DN-ID), is offering 10 positions for doctoral candidates (DCs, funded by EU) and 3 Doctoral Network Students (DNS, funded by UKRI) eager to work in a multidisciplinary and innovative European network driven by societal needs and environmental challenges.

Based on the EU effort for “maintaining an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive industry” the GreenX3 partners have come together to support green transition in both economy and society.

GreenX3 will focus on the study of greener materials and their environmental impact, the development of novel environment-friendly industrial processes, and key enabling technologies (KETs) designed to enhance resource management and product quality. The joint presence and intertwined connection among academic and non-academic partners with expertise comprising and not limited to materials/polymer/organic chemistry, nanotechnology, pharmacy and pharmaceutical technology, entrepreneurship, sustainability and product development will provide an outstanding environment to train the next generation of researchers with strong focus on sustainable development, responsible production and waste reduction.

MSCA-DN-ID are industrial doctorate programmes funded by the European Union. Positions in the frame of these programmes are offered to European and non-European candidates to implement individual projects in a European country other than their own. The GreenX3 project comprise a network of 7 industries and 9 academic partners from Germany, Spain, Italy, France and United Kingdom offering altogether a rich, multidisciplinary and intersectoral environment for the training of 10 successful doctoral candidates and 3 doctoral network students for a period of 36 months.

The recruited candidate will have the opportunity to work in both industrial and academicsectors while implementing his/her work. The successful candidate will step outside academia and develop skills in entrepreneurship, industry and business by spending at least 50% of their time in the non-academic sector and by being jointly supervised by academic and non-academic supervisors. Additionally, the doctoral candidates will attend yearly summer school and international meetings whilst receiving training on research and transferrable skills.

What we offer

The GreenX3 project will implement the doctoral programme by partnership of universities, research institutions and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from Germany, Spain, Italy, France and United Kingdom. This programme will allow the candidate to step outside academia and enhance networking and communication whilst acquire and deepening scientific knowledge.
