Networks (ITNs)
are one of the most popular schemes within Horizon 2020, and it’s easy to see why: they
offer an opportunity for the recruitment of talented early career researchers
to be trained in any discipline, whilst also enabling them to flex their wings
across national and sectoral boundaries.
However,
this popularity comes at a cost, and the success rates for them can make bleak
reading. A perfect opportunity, then, to hear from a successful applicant about
what’s involved and how best to prepare for the ‘trial by resubmission.’
Dr Richard Guest, from the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, has just received funding for AMBER (enhAnced Mobile BiomEtRics), an ITN
that addresses a range of current issues around biometrics on mobiles, and
stretches across five universities and seven industrial partners.
