Summary
Networks for communication, transportation, finance and energy form the backbone of modern society. Reliable and efficient network infrastructures are of enormous economic and social value, and their importance will only increase in the coming years. A generation of highly skilled networks researchers is therefore urgently needed. These researchers should have a deep understanding of methods to optimize network performance, to control processes running on networks, and to predict how these processes will evolve over time. Our doctoral program will train 14 such researchers, who will gain the necessary scientific knowledge and professional skills for a successful career inside and outside academia, and who will contribute to the challenges posed by complex networks, by performing top-level research in an international environment. The duration of our program is 60 months, at the beginning of which two calls will be opened to appoint the 14 ESRs. They will obtain their PhD degree after 4 years’ training, the nominal duration in the Netherlands.
Main objectives. The main objectives of the NETWORKS doctoral program are:
- To bring together expertise from two different disciplines, namely mathematics and computer science, and train our ESRs by performing world-class research in, and at the interface between, these disciplines.
- To attract talented young researchers and offer them the best possible training and career perspectives. The extensive training program developed by NETWORKS includes scientific training, a broad range of key professional skills, and personal development.
- To stimulate transnational and intersectoral mobility and knowledge transfer. NETWORKS will attract young researchers from outside the Netherlands. Our international network will provide them with excellent additional opportunities for transnational mobility. Intersectoral mobility and knowledge transfer are ensured through secondments at industrial and other non-academic partners.
