SENSEnet - Research

SENSEnet is aimed at developing a cadre of young scientists to position the European Community at the forefront of in situ sensor development. The young researchers will work across the European Community with 15 of the leading research groups at some of the most respected research institutes across Europe. Uniquely the project involves two of the leading players on the commercial side of sensor development, marketing and deployment.

SENSEnet is organized into 3 scientific work packages (WPs), with a number of research tasks (RTs) associated with them. (click on the image below or the left hand menu to go to details about each work package or research task). Each of these research tasks is a position for either an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) and/or Experienced Researcher (ER). To view the positions available please see our Opportunities page.
