Eight PhD positions in the European project MORE

MORE is educating Europe’s Future Engineers in Next Generation Heavy Duty Machinery: AI driven Robotisation, Energy Efficiency and Process Optimisation.

‍Ever-increasing demand for material and food, stricter emissions regulations, and continuous globalisation has put Europe’s construction, logistics, and agriculture sectors under immense pressure. Dramatic improvements in their productivity and efficiency are the only answers to these global challenges. Heavy-duty mobile (HDM) machinery are crucial workhorses in these sectors. Europe’s major HDM equipment companies (John Deere, Liebherr, Bosch Rexroth, HIAB, Novatron, Volvo CE) have joined forces with four highly specialised academic groups to deliver MORE, a timely project in response to these urgent needs.

MORE is an innovative European Industrial Doctorate (EID) research and training programme funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the first of its kind that will address this need and fill the gap in related research and training. Eight PhD students will be equipped with a set of research skills including robotics, machine learning, energy systems, as well as transferable skills such as entrepreneurship and career management. MORE is a strong collaboration between academia and industry, ESRs will spend a majority of their doctorate (75%) recruited by industrial partners.

The project is offering an innovative research environment, international mobility (Finland, Sweden, Austria, Germany) and a network with high-profile academic and industry partners.
