European Commission Grants Funding for 15 PhD Positions in Innovative ‘CoCoGel’ Industrial Training Network
InProcess-LSP is proud to be a partner in the EU-funded ITN ‘CoCoGel’. This Doctoral Training Network provides integrated training for young researchers in the field of Soft Matter and related Industrial Applications. CoCoGel involves leading experts in 6 academic and 6 industrial nodes, with state-of-the-art expertise in experimental techniques, computer simulations, and industrial systems.
Colloidal gels – suspensions of micron-sized particles that stick together to form complex materials – are core components in products ranging from battery/fuel cells to consumer-care/food products, medicines and building materials.
CoCoGel aims to achieve novel rational design of these materials by investigating and exploiting their response to flow, ultrasound and magnetic/electric fields. By translating academic expertise to industrial practice, CoCoGel thus contributes to new routes for sustainable products and processes.A
