MSCA FIRE: Fellows with Industrial Research Enhancement The FIRE programme is an integrated 4 year Doctoral Training programme, bringing together two national Centres for Doctoral Training: the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies and the Centre for Digital Entertainment. The objectives of MSCA FIRE are to increase the international aspects of these successful intersectoral and inter-disciplinary programmes and to develop the elements of transnational mobility and career development, common to our industry facing doctoral programmes. Objectives are to: - Offer FIRE Fellows the benefits of two established national Doctoral Training Centres, as they expand their international company placement activities. - Bring Fellows the benefits of the cross-sectoral reach of both Centre, with vibrant industries. - Enhance interdisciplinarity and offer added-value training practices beyond their specialised research area, to all fellows. - Use these synergies to fire-up the fellows to become autonomous, creative, highly-skilled and fully ready for careers in international industries. This will be achieved by: - Implementing a combined 4 year doctoral training programme, - using two existing national Doctoral Training Centres and their already engaged industrial partners. MSCA FIRE will deliver: - 20 autonomous, creative, highly-skilled scientists and engineers fully ready for careers in international industries, and - A model for intersectoral, interdisciplinary doctoral training in an international environment. Industrial partners ensure that research carried out is relevant and will enhance employability of graduates, both in Europe and globally.
