Active Matter – Initial Training Network: From Fundamental Science to Technological Applications (ActiveMatter ITN)

Duration: From September 2019 to February 2024 (4.5 years)

Funding Institution: European Commission, Program H2020-EU-1.3 Excellent Science- Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions

Contact person: M.A. Iatì and O. M. Maragò

This is an MSCA ITN project composed by 14 Beneficiaries and 9 Partner Organisations from 9 different countries, and focuses on experimental, theoretical and computational aspects of active matter. The aim of the network is to train a new generation of physicists and engineers with the scientific insight and managerial skills to harness active matter at mesoscopic and nanoscopic length-scales and to exploit it in high-impact applications (e.g. the design and fabrication of biomimetic materials, the targeted localization, pick-up and transport of nanoscopic cargoes, drug delivery, bioremediation and chemical sensing).
