SENSEnet - An EU Framework 7 funded Marie Curie Initial Training Network
What is SENSEnet?
SENSEnet is an EU Framework 7 funded Marie Curie Initial Training Network which brings together leading scientists and researchers from across Europe with the aim of developing novel sensors for the marine environment.
Why SENSEnet?
The demand for new in situ sensor technology for the marine environment has never been stronger. There is growing recognition that the marine environment is dynamic and ever changing on both short and long temporal and spatial scales. Large holistic programmes are envisaged using observatory and buoy systems.
Who are we?
The network consists of 15 universities and 2 commercial companies from across Europe. See ‘Our Partners’ for full details.
What does the Network do?
The network is training 16 researchers in the early stages of their career and 1 experienced researcher. To develop the sensors, they will conduct their own research programs in collaboration with our network partners.
In addition there will be regular meetings, workshops and secondments as well as opportunities for the researchers to attend conferences and participate in research cruises.
