Projet BeMAGIC (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

BeMAGIC is a highly interdisciplinary venture whose primary aim is the training of young researchers in the utilization of magnetoelectric (ME) nanomaterials to face important societal challenges linked to energy-efficiency, data security and health. The Network encompasses the design, synthesis, characterization and integration of ME materials into a variety of applications that share in common the combined action of electric and magnetic fields: advanced security systems, low-power data storage, spintronic/magnonic devices, electric-field assisted anti-cancer drug delivery, cell electrofusion and deep neural stimulation. Studying all these technological domains in parallel will accelerate progress in each individual field because there are a number of cross-cutting synergistic challenges and potential cross-fertilization outcomes. Various disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Bioelectronics, Biomedicine) converge together in BeMAGIC to provide a holistic approach to fulfil the proposed goals. Special efforts will be devoted to bridge basic science with system prototyping and market exploitation, covering several of the Key Enabling Technologies of the Horizon 2020 Programme. The Consortium brings together 13 Beneficiaries and 11 Partner Organizations, including 8 private companies, from 11 EU Member States. The partnership is diverse and gender-balanced (6 Beneficiary Scientists-in-Charge are female). The complementarities among partners will render a high-level, multifaceted educational programme in which world-class research will be combined with unique training opportunities in soft skills (career planning, dissemination, entrepreneurship, intellectual property rights, management, etc.). A continuous peer-mentoring of all activities will be performed in a pro-active manner to ensure that BeMAGIC generates highly-qualified specialists able to face future professional challenges, either in Academia or Industry, in a proficient manner.
