Future of silicon carbide research and industrial R&D

The MSCA is added at IW-SiC portal as possibility for linking young researshers with industry (research needs).

The MSCA postdoctoral Fellowship deadline is September 11. The MSCA doctoral network deadline is November 27.

These dates seem far away. But everyone knows that writing a good proposal takes time. It also takes time to find young researcher that actually is writing good postdoctoral proposal. Since the research part in proposal actually should be brief. The impact, dissemination, etc are cental. Researchers are not familiar with those. Most of MSCA fellowship candidates write extended plans on the research. And their plan is often only incremental. The research idea has to more groundbreaking character.

It also takes time to build consortium for MSCA doctoral network. And agree on the content.

Both the MSCA are actually strategic. While working for those, we actually do exchange on the topic we are active in. Meaning that there will be synergies for ourselves already from now when we start to discuss the MSCA opportunities.

It creates more exchange than only each of our direct (old) collaborations, and exchange create opportunities to new collaborations. Beyond our own specific topic which is too narrow for a consortium. We need others. And we need new partnerships. Otherwise our thinking will be incremental.

That is the purpose of IW-SiC Career.
