Individual Research Projects
15 top level Individual Research Projects, at the frontiers of the research on artificial molecular machines carried out at Europe’s leading host institutions, form the backbone of ArtMoMa’s Innovative Training network. These multidisciplinary projects aim at scientific excellence, and will give each Early Stage Researcher the opportunity to cooperate with the academic and industrial sectors all over Europe to successfully completing their research project and enable them to perform original scientific work as well as to develop transversal skills.
ArtMoMa’s individual research project are hosted in institutions located in 5 different countries, thus fostering researchers’ mobility, international cooperation and giving each ESR the opportunity to evolve in an intercultural environment.
