Do you want to advance your career as a researcher in Sustainable Digital Transformation and have access to top class training and development opportunities? Have you completed a PhD and would you like to continue your research at a postdoctoral level? This would be a great opportunity for you to become a leader in Sustainable Digital Transformation and help merge the key challenges of the green and digital transition through 2-year, interdisciplinary and intersectoral fellowships.
DIGI+ is a European research initiative to train and develop 20 high-potential and excellent postdoctoral researchers (PRs) with the skills needed to become future leaders and will drive the digital transformation for the next decade with the ambition to establish a sustainable society.
Participation in DIGI+ calls offers candidates several unique benefits:
The DIGI+ Programme is led by Maynooth University and will offer 20 prestigious, two-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) fellowships across two calls over a 60-month period. DIGI+ fellowships are offered to both junior (Level 1) and more experienced (Level 2) Postdoctoral Researchers. They will be offered in the 4 DIGI+ research themes:
DIGI+ will impact on research, policy, standards and Digital skills. DIGI+ fellows will be able to convert knowledge and ideas to drive the digital transformation for economic and social benefit, with sustainability a key parameter.
DIGI+ research helps to establish a set of innovative, multidisciplinary Digital Transformation Paths supporting the EU sustainability goals and help forming sustainable, net-zero economies, a key aim within the EU for the next decade.
