USES of novel UltraSonic and Seismic Embedded Sensors for the non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring of infrastructure and human-built objects (2023 - 2027)

The Horizon European Project “USES of novel UltraSonic and Seismic Embedded Sensors for the non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring of infrastructure and human-built objects” (USES²) is granted for 4 years and starting March 1st 2023 (HORIZON – MSCA - 2021 – DN Project n° 101072599). The aims of USES², a MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Doctoral Network, is to train a new generation of European scientists with skills across sensing and signal processing to develop and combine novel emerging sensing technologies (optical fibre and wireless pieozoelectric sensors), advanced processing (compressed sensing, artificial intelligence) and full-mechanical-waveform-based imaging.

USES² includes Scientific Research in 7 First-Class Academic Organisms (Université Gustave Eiffel/ France, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid/ Spain, CEA/France, IZFP/Germany, University of Bristol/United Kingdom (founded by UKRI), BAM/Germany, Université Libre de Bruxelles/Belgium) and 3 Industrials Companies (Isamgeo/Italy, Airbus/Spain, Zensor/Belgium) who will recruit 11 Doctoral Candidates and 12 Associated Partners (ENI/Italy, Vallen Systeme GmbH/Germany, Temai Ingenieros S.L./Spain, EDF/France, IMMS/Germany, Faber Industrie SPA/Italy, Inductosense Ltd/United Kingdom, ENSAM/France, TUIL/Germany, RWTH AACHEN/Germany, UNIPD/Italy, VUB/Belgium).
