Training

An innovative training network

FutureArctic will channel an important evolution to automated machine-assisted fundamental environmental research.

This is achieved through dedicated training of researchers with profiles at the inter-sectoral edge of computer science, artificial intelligence, environmental and agricultural science, sensor engineering and communication and social sciences.

All ESRs will  enrol in a three-level training program:

1/ Original research conducted by each ESR, supervised by the host institution and co-supervised by a secondary institution. The individual ESR project is at the heart of the training.

2/ Formal courses and workshops at each institution to develop transferable and personal skills (presentation, grant writing, self-management, teamwork, …).

3/ Specific FutureArctic training components, in the form of specialized network-wide training events, organized for all ESRs. This provides ESRs with a strong knowledge base on (sub)Arctic ecosystem functioning, climate change, technology of connected ecosystems, artificial intelligence, science philosophy, entrepreneurship and scientific and corporate responsibility and ethics.
