RE-Fibre is training 11 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with an entrepreneurial and sustainability mindset in the disciplines of green/lignin chemistry, new biobased materials, and environmental systems science.
The DCs will build on ground-breaking findings being generated at the RE-Fibre consortium, to enable the development of fully recyclable functional biobased composites with properties on par with fossil-based counterparts. They will gain competencies, not only in a breakthrough scientific field but also in interdisciplinary and interpersonal skills.
Additionally, they will expand their network and gain experience through participating in secondments (research stays hosted by academic or industrial partner). Finally, they will learn the best practices by developing online research and training tools, enabling them to work and collaborate across academic and industrial sectors. RE-Fibre training will contribute to DCs employability as future leaders, while supporting the green transition and a sustainable circular economy in Europe.
