Descripción del proyecto
Formación interdisciplinaria de los vulcanólogos
El uso de métodos innovadores en vulcanología hará avanzar nuestros conocimientos sobre los sistemas volcánicos y geotérmicos, lo cual podría traducirse en beneficios sociales y económicos. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos IMPROVE llevará a cabo investigaciones para definir la estructura subterránea y la dinámica de los sistemas volcánicos y geotérmicos con el objetivo de influir significativamente sobre la vulcanología y la relación entre la ciencia y la industria. El proyecto utilizará enfoques de exploración y monitorización, además de disciplinas como la geología, la geofísica, la geoquímica, la ingeniería y la informática. El consorcio IMPROVE está formado por nueve representantes del mundo académico, un socio de una empresa pública del sector de la energía y dos pymes dedicadas al desarrollo de tecnologías. Juntos, formarán a una nueva generación de vulcanólogos para gestionar los conocimientos y datos interdisciplinarios, promover la innovación y cooperar en un entorno científico abierto e intersectorial.
Objetivo
Based on previous and current international projects and initiatives, IMPROVE aims at training the new generation of volcano scientists who manage inter-disciplinary understanding and knowledge, pursue innovation, and cooperate in an inter-sectorial, Open Science environment. IMPROVE ESRs are trained to grow as independent scientists with broad overviews and top level expertise, able to convert their knowledge, ideas and skills into scientific advance as well as economic and social benefits. The consortium involves nine academic Beneficiaries, and three Partners constituted by one Energy State Company and two technology-developing SMEs. The underlying research aims at the definition of the underground structure and dynamics of volcanic and geothermal systems, with innovative objectives expected to impact significantly volcano science as well as science-industry relationships; and involves exploration and monitoring methods, disciplines like geology, geophysics, geochemistry, engineering, informatics, and theoretical and experimental approaches. The program includes two multi-disciplinary Field Experiments, four Network Schools, five Specialized Short Courses, three ESRs’ Workshops, one Network Workshop on science-business relationships, nine Digital Training Modules, and a Final Conference. Multidisciplinary data will be managed through a Data management Plan, and organized in a database fully available to the consortium and, after project closure, accessible by the broadest scientific community. ESRs’ training-through-research develops under multi-disciplinary team work and multiple tutorships, and includes as major training elements a variety of transferable and soft skills aimed at growing a generation of young scientists who are highly attractive for science as well as for the industry.
