Summary
NEXTSTEP will train 36 young and enthusiastic researchers to exploit the unique and transversal capabilities of analytical research infrastructures (RIs) in tackling the challenges associated with sustainable development and industrial competitiveness in the areas of “Health”, “Digital, Industry & Space”, “Climate, Energy and Mobility” and “Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment”, which are at the heart of Horizon Europe. These skilled researchers will be able to explore materials science, chemistry, biology and engineering and environmental sciences with unprecedented precision (in space, time and sensitivity) using the RI techniques. They will also be trained in complementary skills in innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership providing them with the fluidity to be comfortable in all research and career settings.
At the heart of NEXTSTEP are the complementary and sophisticated analytical X-ray, neutron and electron microscopy techniques available at the cutting-edge European RIs: European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, X-ray synchrotron), Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL, neutron source) and e-DREAM (advanced electron microscopes). The academic, research and technology organisations (RTO) and industrial partners for each NEXTSTEP DC topic will be selected through Europe-wide open calls for challenging and rewarding DC projects and will be included as associated partners. This will create an outstanding, geographically-diverse and inclusive study programme, fostering a cross-border knowledge-triangle network far beyond that of the recruiting institutes themselves.
NEXTSTEP graduates will be poised to become the drivers in future efforts to exploit the exceptional capacities of analytical RIs and transform science output into disruptive solutions. The graduates will have influence and impact for decades to come as they progress in careers, be they in academia, industry, stakeholder or NGO organisations.
