IMDEA Materials institute has opened the applications to its Marie Curie program ATENEA.

ATENEA is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) postdoctoral fellowship programme. The ATENEA programme will offer ten 30-month Postdoctoral Research (PRs) fellowships in the field of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE).

The programme will launch one open call during its 48 months, offering high-level, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training, both in core and advanced scientific topics and transferable skills. After the programme, the fellows will be well-versed, experienced researchers with highly attractive profiles for the academic and non-academic sectors, particularly for industry.

Prof. Ignacio Romero delivered a keynote presentation at the 2nd International Conference on Highly Flexible Slender Structures held at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, Kaiserslautern, Germany.

The talk was entitled “Embedding slender structures in continua: Theory, numerical methods, and applications”, and described recent results of the group that can be already seen in our preprint
